494 ===================================================
496 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
497 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
498 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
499 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
500 also uses less memory overall.
502 * Make g_poll available as public api
504 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
505 that a GError is set or unset
507 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
509 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
510 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
512 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
513 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2173 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2177 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2178 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
