Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3

==============================================

 

* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been

dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as

64-bit integer.

Affected functions:

g_source_get_time

g_periodic_unblock

g_get_monotonic_time

g_get_real_time

The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is

discouraged.

 

* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

 

* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

in async GIO APIs:

g_simple_async_result_take_error

g_simple_async_result_new_take_error

g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle

 

* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

g_variant_lookup

 

* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the

D-Bus daemon in GDBus:

G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

 

* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:

g_get_user_runtime_dir

 

* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

 

* Bugs fixed:

620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed

633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...

633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error

633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle

 

* Translation updates:

Belarusian

Galician

Hebrew

Punjabi

Spanish
