GLib 2.11.0 is now available for download at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.11/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.11/ glib-2.11.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: 5cbfb9d8279d7bf26d13b3ca52c9a570 glib-2.11.0.tar.gz md5sum: dde8c488e4be67490a021f3e450a59ea This is the first development release leading up to GLib 2.12. 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 2.10. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.10.1. * GLib 2.12 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.10 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.11.0 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.12 release. * Remaining issues for GLib-2.8 can be found with the following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glib&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&target_milestone=2.12%20Freeze&target_milestone=2.12%20API%20Freeze * 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.
