Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
==================================
* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
- `g_array_copy()`
- `g_ptr_array_copy()`
- `g_ptr_array_extend()`
- `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
- `g_array_binary_search()`
* Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests
(#488)
* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when
`g_test_dbus_down()` is
called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
rather than silently leaking. (#787)
* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
* Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation
warnings;
third-party code should now be using
`GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage
(!871)
* Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically
(#1648)
* Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
* Fix build failure on macOS related to missing
`_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
function (#1791)
* Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
* Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any
version
of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
* More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
* Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO
(!876)
* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on
anything
higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and
use
of packaged libraries (!951)
* Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()`
support
on Windows (!979)
* Bugs fixed:

Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
