10 - The parser will be in a future release.
13 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
14 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
15 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

208 ===================================================
211 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
212 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
213 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

218 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).

222 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
223 interfaces to dynamic types.

946 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
947 ===================================================
949 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
950 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
951 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
952 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
953 also uses less memory overall.
955 * Make g_poll available as public api
957 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
958 that a GError is set or unset
960 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
962 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
963 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
965 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
966 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
