1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2 ===================================================
4 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
5 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8 also uses less memory overall.
10 * Make g_poll available as public api
12 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
13 that a GError is set or unset
15 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
17 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
18 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
20 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
21 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1681 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1685 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1686 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
