5 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10 while loading or saving it.
11 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
12 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
13 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
16 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
17 interfaces to dynamic types.

21 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
22 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

739 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
740 ===================================================
742 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
743 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
744 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
745 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
746 also uses less memory overall.
748 * Make g_poll available as public api
750 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
751 that a GError is set or unset
753 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
755 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
756 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
758 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
759 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2419 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2423 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2424 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
