682 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
683 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
684 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
685 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
686 also uses less memory overall.
688 * Make g_poll available as public api

691 that a GError is set or unset
693 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
695 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
696 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
698 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
699 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2359 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2363 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2364 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
