| * The event loop functionality GMain has extensively been revised to |
| support multiple separate main loops in separate threads. All sources |
| (timeouts, idle functions, etc.) are associated with a GMainContext. |
| |
| Compatibility functions exist so that most application code dealing with |
| the main loop will continue to work. However, code that creates |
| new custom types of sources will require modification. |
| |
| The main changes here are: |
| |
| - Sources are now exposed as GSource *, rather than simply as numeric |
| IDS. |
| |
| - New types of sources are created by structure "derivation" from GSource, |
| so the source_data parameter to the GSource vfuncs has been |
| replaced with a GSource *. |
| |
| - Sources are first created, then later added to a specific GMainContext |
| |
| - Dispatching has been modified so both the callback and data are passed |
| in to the ->dispatch() vfunc. |
| |
| To go along with this change, the vtable for GIOChannel has changed and |
| add_watch() has been replaced by create_watch(). |
| |
| * g_list_foreach() and g_slist_foreach() have been changed so they |
| are now safe against removal of the current item, not the next item. |
| |
| It's not recommended to mutate the list in the callback to these |
| functions in any case. |
| |
| * GDate now works in UTF-8, not in the current locale. If you |
| want to use it with the encoding of the locale, you need |
| to convert strings using g_locale_to_utf8 first. |
| |
| * g_strsplit() has been fixed to: |
| |
| - include trailing empty tokens, rather than stripping them |
| - split into a maximum of @max_tokens tokens, rather than |
| @max_tokens + 1 |
| |
| Code depending on either of these bugs will need to be fixed. |
| |
| * deprecated functions that got removed: |
| g_set_error_handler(), g_set_warning_handler(), |
| g_set_message_handler(), use g_log_set_handler() instead. |
