155 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
156 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
157 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

890 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
891 ===================================================
893 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
894 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
895 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
896 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
897 also uses less memory overall.
899 * Make g_poll available as public api
901 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
902 that a GError is set or unset
904 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
906 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
907 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
909 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
910 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2523 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
2524 =================================================
2526 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
2527 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
2528 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
2530 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
2531 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2534 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
2535 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
2536 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
2538 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
2540 * Memory management:
2541 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
2542 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
2543 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
2544 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
2545 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
2546 never worked as intended.
2547 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
2548 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
2549 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
2550 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
2551 efficient and scalable implementation.
2552 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
2555 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
2556 unnecessary recursion.
2559 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
2560 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
2561 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
2565 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
2568 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2569 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2570 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2574 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2575 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
2576 since they are in glib.h

2592 correctly on ppc64. [Michael Lorenz]
2593 (Third-party code accessing enumeration values
2594 in GValues should also be changed to access
2595 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
