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 2.20. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.20. * GLib 2.22 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.20 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.21 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.22 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.
