260 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

263 also uses less memory overall.

268 that a GError is set or unset
270 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
272 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
273 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
275 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
276 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1890 =================================================
1892 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
1893 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
1894 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
1896 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
1897 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
1900 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
1901 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
1902 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
1904 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
1906 * Memory management:
1907 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
1908 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
1909 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
1910 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
1911 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
1912 never worked as intended.
1913 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
1914 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
1915 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
1916 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
1917 efficient and scalable implementation.
1918 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
1921 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
1922 unnecessary recursion.
1925 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

1927 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
1931 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
1934 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
1935 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
1936 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1940 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1941 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
1942 since they are in glib.h
