5 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10 while loading or saving it.
11 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
12 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
13 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
16 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
17 interfaces to dynamic types.

21 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
22 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

740 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
741 ===================================================
743 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
744 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
745 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
746 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
747 also uses less memory overall.
749 * Make g_poll available as public api
751 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
752 that a GError is set or unset
754 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
756 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
757 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
759 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
760 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2420 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2424 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2425 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
