33 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
34 ===================================================
36 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
37 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
38 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
39 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
40 also uses less memory overall.
42 * Make g_poll available as public api
44 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
45 that a GError is set or unset
47 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
49 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
50 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
52 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
53 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1713 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1717 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1718 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
