GLib 2.10.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.10/ glib-2.10.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: 60c9f62979415bcb82f0b87d6785dc3b glib-2.10.0.tar.gz md5sum: e8281a059dd824cc0ff9e12a1bce7569 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. GLib 2.10 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement in functionality over GLib 2.8 while maintaining binary and source compatibility. Major new features include: * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. * A new 'slice allocator' replaces GMemChunk. * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, provides a common implementation of 'floating references'. * GAsyncQueue and GThreadPool can have sort functions now. Miscellaneous new functions * g_atomic_int_set(), g_atomic_pointer_set() allow to atomically set integers and pointers. * g_date_set_time_t(), g_date_set_time_val() allow to set GDate from time_t or GTimeVal values. * g_hash_table_ref(), g_hash_table_unref() are refcounting GHashTable. * g_intern_string(), g_intern_static_string() return an interned version of a string. * g_main_context_is_owner() determines if the current thread owns the context. * g_thread_foreach() iterates over all GThreads. * g_thread_pool_set_max_idle_time() can be used to specify an idle time before threads are returned to the global pool.
