Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.4

  • Add a g_string_replace() function (work by Joshua Lee) (#225)

  • Add G_DBUS_SERVER_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRE_SAME_USER flag to simplify
    the common case for writing a D-Bus authentication observer, allowing most
    uses of GDBusAuthObserver to be dropped (#1804)

  • Add a new g_spawn_with_pipes_and_fds() variant which supports renumbering
    FDs (#2097)

  • Add new g_memdup2() API to replace g_memdup(), which is vulnerable to a
    silent integer truncation and heap overflow problem if not used carefully
    (discovered by Kevin Backhouse, work by Philip Withnall) (#2319)

  • Fix various regressions caused by rushed security fixes in 2.66.6 (work by
    Simon McVittie and Jan Alexander Steffens) (!1932, !1941, #2323)

  • Fix a silent integer truncation when calling g_byte_array_new_take() for
    byte arrays bigger than G_MAXUINT (work by Krzesimir Nowak) (!1942)

  • Fix g_utf8_strdown() to fix some issues in Turkish
    (work by Kjell Ahlstedt) (!1930)
