GLib-2.3.5 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/ glib-2.3.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: 012e427d9efb12713357648f585b1d25 glib-2.3.5.tar.gz md5sum: e15fcc89982c9beecc12c68aca41fb49 This is the last development release loading up to GLib-2.4, which is scheduled for release in one week on March 8. Please test. The most interesting change since 2.3.3 is the addition of functions for atomic operations on integers and pointers. Other changes consist mostly of small API enhancements and bug fixes. (The 2.3.4 version number was skipped for consistency with GTK+ numbering.) Notes: * This is an unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely 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. * 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 from GLib 2.3.3 to GLib 2.3.5 ================================================= * Make glib-mkenums parse initializers with macros.
