Public bug reported: Impact ------ There is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.74 series
The current release in Ubuntu 22.10 is 2.74.0 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.74.3/NEWS Test Case 1 ----------- glib has an extensive test suite. Failing tests will fail the build. This update will also trigger a lot of autopkgtests. Ensure that there aren't autopgktest regressions triggered by this update and that the builds complete successfully Test Case 2 ----------- Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop, that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like the terminal, the file browser and epiphany-browser Test Case 3 (Extra) ------------------ Install gnome-characters 43.1. (This is being SRU'd, but the version from Lunar also works.) Open the Characters app. Use the search feature to search for "moose" A moose emoji should show up. This is one of the new Emoji 15. https://blog.emojipedia.org/whats-new-in-unicode-15-0/ With glib 2.74.0, the moose emoji won't be searchable but it does show in the Animals category. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time.
