glib-2.25.0.tar.gz

 

This is the first development release leading up to GLib 2.26.

 

Notes:

 

* This is unstable development release. While it has had

a bit of 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 2.24. If you have problems, you'll need

to reinstall GLib 2.24.

 

* GLib 2.26 will be source and binary compatible with

the GLib 2.24 series; however, the new API additions

in GLib 2.25.0 are not yet finalized, so there may

be incompatibilities between this release and the final

2.26 release.

 

* 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 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0

===================================================

 

* The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to

replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.

GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the

transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion

and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
