Thank you for your bug report. Updating to a new major serie of glib isn't
going to be done as a stable update because that wouldn't be a safe update and
might create build or runtime issues for existing software.
You probably want to update your code to be compatible with older version of
glib since that's what most users will still have today, use
G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE instead of the new default flag for example

Title:
Outdated version of libglib2.0-dev in Ubuntu Jammy
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The version of libglib2.0-dev that is currently included in the
repositories for Ubuntu is 2.72.1-1, which is outdated and missing
important features and bug fixes. In particular, the
G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro, which was added in GTK+ 3.22, is
not available in this version of libglib2.0-dev. This is causing
issues with my application, which requires the use of this macro.
I request that the package be updated to the latest version (currently
2.74) in order to resolve this issue.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install libglib2.0-dev version 2.72.1-1 on an Ubuntu system
2. Attempt to compile an application that uses the
G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro
3. Observe the compilation error due to the missing macro
Expected result:
The application compiles successfully and can be run.
Actual result:
The application fails to compile due to the missing
G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro.
Release:
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04
Using version:
2.72.1-1
Requested version:
2.74(+)
