GLib 2.5.7 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.5/ glib-2.5.7.tar.gz md5sum: 730a3980ad9058d8ed9612eccc617d9b glib-2.5.7.tar.bz2 md5sum: 563aeefa2680d02c68f4e350b8b11092 This is the 8th 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. The new API additions in GLib 2.5.x are finalized at this point, and GLib 2.5.x should be considered API frozen. Unless serious issues with the new APIs come up, there will be no API changes between this release and the 2.6.0 release. * 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.
