339 ===================================================
342 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
343 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
344 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
345 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
346 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
347 while loading or saving it.
348 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
349 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
350 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
353 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
354 interfaces to dynamic types.

1078 ===================================================
1080 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
1081 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
1082 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

1084 also uses less memory overall.
1086 * Make g_poll available as public api
1088 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
1089 that a GError is set or unset
1091 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1093 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1094 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1096 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1097 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2718 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2721 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

2755 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2756 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2757 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2761 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2762 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
