Hi folks! With the release of Perl 5.18.0 yesterday, we decided to release a stable version of Glib to go along with it. The Glib source tree on git.gnome.org has fixes that are needed for Glib to run on 5.18.0 [1]. I've already uploaded the Glib 1.300 tarball to CPAN, where it should appear within the next 24 hours. The Sourceforge tarball link below is already working if you need the release tarball right away.
Overview of changes in Glib 1.300 (stable) =============================== * Stable release to coincide with the release of Perl 5.18.0 Since 1.28x (The previous stable release) ----------------------------------------- * Ensure timely destruction of initial wrapper of custom subclasses * Start changing module version numbers in all Perl modules in the distribution, not just lib/Glib.pm; (Bugzilla #690464) * Make Glib::Object subclassing more robust. This should in particular fix issues revealed by the change to hash randomization introduced in perl 5.17.6. * Correctly handle utf8-encoded strings in GPerlArgv. This should fix issues seen with utf8-encoded strings in @ARGV with, for example, Gtk2->init. View the source in the Gtk2-Perl git repo at: http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/tag/?id=rel-1-30-0 Or download the source release at: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.300.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.
