The second development release in the 2.27 development cycle.


Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
==============================================

* GDateTime now has full week number support.
  New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year

* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
  broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether

* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems

* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
  New API:
    g_settings_get_range
    g_settings_range_check
  The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.

* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
  and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING                                                            |
| The GApplication API has changed compared to the version that was  |
| inluded in the 2.25 development snapshots.                         |
| Existing users will need adjustments.                              |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
  which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
  New API:
    g_main_context_invoke
    g_main_context_invoke_full

* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
  removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
  looking for default applications.

* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
  folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
  and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir()
return
  this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.

* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING                                                            |
| Note that this API is still experimental and expected to undergo   |
| changes before it will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. |
| Use at your own risk.                                              |
