This is the second development release loading up to GLib-2.6.
This release contains a number of bug and portability fixes.
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-2.4. If you have problems, you'll need
to reinstall GLib-2.4.5.
* GLib-2.6 will be source and binary compatible with
the GLib-2.4.x series; however, the new API additions
in GLib-2.5.1 are not yet finalized, so there may
be incompatibities between this release and the final
2.6 release.

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:
