GLib 2.15.6 is now available for download at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.15/ glib-2.15.6.tar.bz2 md5sum: 62b1a3c1fa52b8d91b4535e4a4ab3057glib-2.15.6.tar.gz md5sum: 4105db06f35ea57d5f4b20eac6058b81 This is the seventh 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; but there may still be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.16 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
