Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had a bit of 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 2.6. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.6.5. * GLib 2.8 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.6.x series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.7.0 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibities between this release and the final 2.8 release. * Remaining issues for GLib 2.8 can be found with the following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glib&target_milestone=2.8 +API+Freeze&&target_milestone=2.8 +Freeze&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
