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

216 that a GError is set or unset
218 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
220 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
221 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
223 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
224 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1837 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
1838 =================================================
1840 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
1841 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
1842 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
1844 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
1845 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
1848 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
1849 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
1850 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
1852 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
1854 * Memory management:
1855 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
1856 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
1857 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
1858 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
1859 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
1860 never worked as intended.
1861 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
1862 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
1863 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
1864 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
1865 efficient and scalable implementation.
1866 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
1869 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
1870 unnecessary recursion.
1873 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
1874 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
1875 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
1879 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
