GLib 2.9.5 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-2.9.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: d92467e6a644341d704a5d0e3af8c06f glib-2.9.5.tar.gz md5sum: 6ef7253fc29dda78414d7578f35fc88a This is a 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 2.8.5. * GLib 2.10 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.8.x series (for some caveats, see the README). At this point, the API additions in the 2.9.x series are finished. * 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 2.9.4 to GLib 2.9.5 ================================================= * Memory management: Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc in the environment. Zeroing of freed memory can now be turned on at runtime by setting G_DEBUG=gc-friendly in the environment.
