*** Changes

 

2.51.1.2 (unstable):

Distro packagers should probably not package this yet.

 

Glib:

* Remove some deprecated API

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* Variant: Remove the string specializations of cast_dynamic.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* Glib::VariantType: Add get_item_types(), removing first() and

  next().

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #775741

 

 

Gio:

* init(): Set the global locale.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #661588

* ActionBase: get_state_hint_variant() now returns

VariantContainerBase.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* ActionMap: add_action_with_parameter(): Register the parameter type,

  to make this work.

  (Daniel Boles) Bug #774444

* ActionResult: Add is_tagged_vfunc().

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* Glib::Dispatcher: Implement the pimpl idiom

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #651942

* File, FileInfo, FileIOStream, FileOutputStream: Use Glib::ustring for

  (UTF-8) file attributes of string type.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #615950

* Some minor cppcheck fixes.

  (Murray Cumming)

 

 

2.51.1.1 (unstable):

 

General:

* Remove no_default_handler in some _WRAP_SIGNAL()s

  This allows application developers to simply override

  the default on_*() signal handlers for these signals too,

  as they can already with most other signals.

  If you are using, for instance, the -Wsuggest-override

  compiler option, watch out for new compiler warnings suggesting

  that your existing signal handler should now be marked with the

  override keyword - that means you should do so but you should

  also stop connecting the signal handler in your code.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* Build: examples/Makefile.am: Re-insert the dispatcher examples

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

 

Glib:

* Dispatcher: Don't cast a HANDLE to an int on Windows.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #772074

* ObjectBase:

  - Remove connect_property_changed_with_return()

  and let connect_property_changed() return a sigc::connection.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

  - Use std::forward_list for interface class pointers.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

  - Replace extra_object_base_data map by instance data.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* ObjectBase: overload get_property().

  (Marcin Kolny)

* Main, IOSource: autodeduce type of fd field.

  (Marcin Kolny) Bug #770274

* Settings: Add property_settings_schema(), and update

  signal_changed().

  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

* Settings: Make set_enum() + set_flags() usable

  (djb) Bug #774647

* SettingsSchemaKey: Add missing value/range methods

  (Daniel Boles) Bug #774903
