168 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
169 ===================================================
171 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
172 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
173 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
174 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
175 also uses less memory overall.
177 * Make g_poll available as public api
179 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
180 that a GError is set or unset
182 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
184 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
185 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
187 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
188 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1801 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
1802 =================================================
1804 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
1805 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
1806 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
1808 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
1809 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
1812 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
1813 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
1814 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
1816 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
1818 * Memory management:
1819 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
1820 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
1821 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
1822 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
1823 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
1824 never worked as intended.
1825 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
1826 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
1827 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
1828 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
1829 efficient and scalable implementation.
1830 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
1833 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
1834 unnecessary recursion.
1837 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
1838 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
1839 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
1843 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
1846 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
1847 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
1848 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1852 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1853 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
1854 since they are in glib.h
