Hello.
Due to a rather serious packaging bug in glib 2.25.12, I'm making a
quick 2.25.13 release. You should not use glib 2.25.12.
I've made some changes to address that problem and hopefully prevent
similar problems from happening again. I looked over the package and it
seems to be fine, but please be on the lookout for any possible issues
that I introduced with the new changes.

There should be no API/ABI break time time around (at least compared to
last time).
We still expect to break GApplication API soon -- but that has been
pushed to 2.25.14 most likely (which should come some time next week or
the one after).
Here's the news:
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
=====================================================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
serious problems.
There have been many other improvements, however:
Build and testing:
- vastly improved test coverage
- old tests moved to the gtester framework
- gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
- cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
GVariant:
- add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
GDBus:
- perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
- add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
- improve debug output, add some extra options
- if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
explaining why
- sort property names correctly
- don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
anyway
- use effective uid/gid for credential passing
GSettings:
- add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
without mapping functions
- mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
Binding:
- improve closure support for bindings
- copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
Other:
- fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
