Overview of changes in Glib 1.250 (unstable) =================================
* Add a fallback implementation of SvMAGIC_set; Bugzilla bug #665266 * Avoid a syntax error on older perls * Glib::Object: make ref-counting compatible with perl >= 5.16 (RT#73650) * Fix some typos in POD (RT#73616) There were fundamental changes made to Glib to prepare for the release of Perl version 5.16, hence the unstable release tag. These changes were first discussed by Torsten in this e-mail: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2012-January/msg00001.html View the source in the Gtk2-Perl git repo at: http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/tag/?id=rel-1-25-0 Or download the source release at: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.250.tar.gz This release works with all stable releases of glib-2.x. In order to build Glib from source, you must have glib-2.x and its development headers and utilities installed, as well as the pkg-config utility. In addition, the following Perl modules are needed at build time (but not at runtime): ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.300 ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.000 Glib provides Perl access to the GLib and GObject libraries. GLib is a portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic type system with inheritance and a powerful signal system. Together these libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries that make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated projects. _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
