GLib 2.15.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.15/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.15/ glib-2.15.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: b3a2ca18e618927d03d39000f2155958glib-2.15.1.tar.gz md5sum: 65553803645ae660b6cf1d2ae6e9876f This is the second development release leading up to GLib 2.16. 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 2.14. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.14. * GLib 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.14 series. The new API in GLib should be stable at this point; we are still expecting to do some minor API additions in GIO, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.16 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
