GLib-2.1.3 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/
This is a development release leading up to GLib-2.2. As compared to the stable GTK+-2.0.x series, it contains a number of small API additions. Also new in this release is support for building using an included copy of the Trio library (http://daniel.haxx.se/trio/) for formatting strings on systems whose printf() function is deficient. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive 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-2.0. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib-2.0.7. * The seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random generator used by GRand and GRandom was because some seeds would yield very bad pseudo-random streams. If you need exact compatibility with the GLib-2.0 algorithm, a G_RANDOM_VERSION environment variable is supported; see the README file for further details. * 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 2.0.x to GLib-2.1.3 ================================================= * Add copy of the Trio library to build and use for printf() when system printf isn't good enough. Add g_printf()/etc. [Matthias Clasen] * Add g_str_has_suffix()/g_str_has_prefix() [Alex Larsson] * Add g_markup_parse_context_get_element() [Matthias] * Add g_utf8_strreverse [Matthias] * Add g_ascii_strtoull() [Tim Janik] * Support scanning of 64-bit values with GScanner [Tim] * Add g_set/get_application_name() [Havoc Pennington] * Add G_LIKELY()/G_UNLIKELY() macros for hinting branch probabilities. Use for g_return_if_fail(). [Matthias Clasen] * Add G_GNUC_DEPRECATED macro [Tom Tromey] * Improve the seeding algorithm of GRandom to avoid problems with certain pathological seeds. Support a G_RANDOM_VERSION=2.0 environment variable. [Sebastian Wilhelmi] * Improve thread configure checks, use -pthread where applicable [Sebastian] * Improve handlng of thread priorities [Sebastian] * Fix up parameter names that might shadow functions from system headers [Soeren Sandmann] * Clean up usage of deprecated functions [Manish Singh] * Docs fixes and improvements.
