GLib 2.17.1 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.17/ glib-2.17.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: 9121af8ff782ade6d745d76bd6a38a6aglib-2.17.1.tar.gz md5sum: 21154cd67be5a81f675d3c55ce5dea91 This is the second development release leading up to GLib 2.18. 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 2.16. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.16. * GLib 2.18 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.16 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.17.1 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.18 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
