GLib-2.3.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/ glib-2.3.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: c320c3c883dba4759b8f04f40079a24e glib-2.3.1.tar.gz md5sum: f3ecc10b565d097e7613584a0e04e2cf This is a development release loading up to GLib-2.4. Changes since GLib-2.3.0 consist mainly of bug fixes and small improvements; among other things optional header files are now provided to define the typical _(), N_(), etc, internationalization macros. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GLib-2.2. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib-2.2.4. * GLib-2.4 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib-2.2.x series; however, the new API additions in GLib-2.2.0 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibities between this release and the final 2.2 release. * Remaining API issues for GLib-2.4 can be found with following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glib&target_milestone=2.4+API+Freeze&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About GLib ========== GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system. More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can be found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Overview of Changes in GLib-2.3.1 ================================= * Add glib/gi18n.h and glib/gi18n-lib.h for common gettext suport, including a Q() macro for translation with context [Matthias Clasen] * Add a more flexible G_FILENAME_ENCODING variable as a replacement for G_BROKEN_FILENAMES [Matthias] * Fix the return value g_main_context_iterate() for newly ready sources [Padraig O'Briain] * Handle Hangul composition for normalization [Noah Levitt] * Add G_{MIN,MAX,MAXU}INT{8,16,32}.
