288 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
289 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

291 also uses less memory overall.

296 that a GError is set or unset
298 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
300 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
301 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
303 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
304 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1918 =================================================
1920 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
1921 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
1922 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
1924 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
1925 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
1928 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
1929 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
1930 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
1932 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
1934 * Memory management:
1935 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

1937 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
1938 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
1939 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
1940 never worked as intended.
1941 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
1942 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
1943 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
1944 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
1945 efficient and scalable implementation.
1946 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
1949 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
1950 unnecessary recursion.

1955 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
1959 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
1962 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
1963 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
1964 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1968 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1969 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
1970 since they are in glib.h

2931 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
2932 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
2933 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]

2935 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
2936 * Many documentation improvements.
2941 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
