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 2.22. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.22. * GLib 2.24 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.22 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.23 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.24 release. * 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. More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can be found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.4 to GLib 2.23.5 =================================================== * New API addition: g_malloc_n() and friends used to implement an overflow-safe family of g_new() macros. * GVariant: - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged. - The variable arguments API is now merged. - The parser will be in a future release. * GIO: - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release) for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a future release. * Bugs fixed: 609531 missing licence headers 612107 Missing G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TRASH_ORIG_PATH 611897 g_io_modules_scan_all_in_directory leaks 608196 Overflow-safe g_new family 611696 gio uses GetAddrInfo which requires special handing on windows 2k 605667 Don't use G_PARAM_SPEC_VALUE_TYPE when we know the pspec is valid 610860 test_g_file_open_readwrite fails if $HOME is unwritable 552912 glib-2.18 /live-g-file/test_copy_move failed when run as root 609813 Renaming a file discards file notes * Updated translations: Basque Brazilian Portuguese British English Bulgarian Catalan Danish Estonian French German Hungarian Italian Lithuanian Norwegian bokmål Portuguese Russian Slovenian Spanish Swedish Traditional Chinese Thanks to the contributors: Matthias Clasen Alexander Larsson Priit Laes Stefan Kost Fridrich Strba Behdad Esfahbod Jonh Wendell Claudio Saavedra Christian Dywan Felix Riemann Dan Winship Paolo Borelli Saleem Abdulrasool Edward Hervey Emilio Pozuelo Monfort March 8, 2010 Ryan Lortie _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
