GLib 2.5.5 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.5/ glib-2.5.5.tar.gz md5sum: a25e8973c8a1c9f1decfad87c8aaa0e7 glib-2.5.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: 726e86411df544b48cbd777530396a92 This is the sixth development release leading up to GLib-2.6. 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-2.4.7. * GLib-2.6 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib-2.4.x series; however, the new API additions in GLib-2.5.0 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibities between this release and the final 2.6 release. * With this release, GLib enters a slush API freeze. There are still a few open API issues, but it is likely that many of them will be punted to 2.8. The remaining API issues for GLib-2.6 can be found with following Bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi? product=glib&target_milestone=2.6+API +Freeze&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&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.
