112 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
113 ===================================================
115 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
116 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
117 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
118 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
119 also uses less memory overall.
121 * Make g_poll available as public api
123 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
124 that a GError is set or unset
126 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
128 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
129 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
131 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
132 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1746 =================================================
1748 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
1749 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
1750 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
1752 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
1753 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
1756 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

1767 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
1768 never worked as intended.
1769 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
1770 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
1771 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
1772 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
1773 efficient and scalable implementation.
1774 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
1777 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
1778 unnecessary recursion.

1783 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
1787 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
1790 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
1791 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
1792 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1796 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1797 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
1798 since they are in glib.h
