GLib 2.13.5 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.13/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.13/ glib-2.13.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: 4f895af6d4f0c554b279437209f464ff glib-2.13.5.tar.gz md5sum: 7ecc80535a70f23bd3611b1036044fca This is another development release leading to 2.14. 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 2.12. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.12. * GLib 2.14 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.12 series. The new API additions in GLib are finalized at this point. However, there may still be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.14 release, if problems with the new API are discovered. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

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.
