GLib 2.25.8 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.25/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.25/ 4541e7665af4fdd93a83c26d1a92779e27cbd510cadc418860665c008a4b6819 glib-2.25.8.tar.bz2 0545276bfa6334e064519f738065a2918bb5e3d74ea9707a8b327ac70b47ba18 glib-2.25.8.tar.gz A development release leading to GLib 2.26. 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 2.24. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.24. * GLib 2.26 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.24 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.25.x are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.26 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.
