Hi, How can I use yum to update glib and gtk2? ============================================== GLib 2.9.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.9/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.9/ glib-2.9.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: f4817f7e0546f8d4b37c20b6ceca69ad glib-2.9.1.tar.gz md5sum: 2f214411d591a1ba910fb3acc356903c This is the second development release leading up to GLib 2.10. 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 2.8. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.8.4. * GLib 2.10 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.8.x series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.9.1 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibities between this release and the final 2.10 release. * Remaining issues for GLib 2.10 can be found with the following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glib&target_milestone=2.10 +API+Freeze&&target_milestone=2.10 +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. 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 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1 ================================================= * Memory management - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik] - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod] - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen] * Data structures - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim] * Thread support - Support for Solaris threads has been removed [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki] - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked variants [Martyn Russell] * GObject: - The concept of a floating initial reference has been moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim] * Win32 changes: - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist] * Misc new API: - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64 constants [Andrew Paprocki] - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the compiler to emit a warning if the value returned by a function is ignored.
