some minimum versions in the symbols file are not updated

[Zhouyang Jia]

Hi,

The signature of the following symbols changed from glib-2.39.1 to glib-2.39.2:

//glib-2.39.1/glib/ghash.h
void g_hash_table_insert(...);
void g_hash_table_replace(...);
void g_hash_table_add(...);

//glib-2.39.2/glib/ghash.h
gboolean g_hash_table_insert(...);
gboolean g_hash_table_replace(...);
gboolean g_hash_table_add(...);

However, the minimum versions of these symbols in the symbols file are all 2.12.0.

The minimum versions are supposed to be 2.39.2, or a client using a gboolean return value may be linked to an old version returning void.

Best,
Zhouyang

Also, g_utf8_make_valid is introduced in 2.51.0, but changed from 2.51.4 to 2.51.5:

//glib-2.51.4/glib/gunicode.h
gchar *g_utf8_make_valid(const gchar *str);

//glib-2.51.5/glib/gunicode.h
gchar *g_utf8_make_valid(const gchar *str, gssize len);

The minimum version should be 2.51.5, instead of 2.51.0 in the symbols file.

Thank you for your bug report, indeed the tools don't check for signature changes

note that the package is in sync with Debian so it's worth reporting there
