513 ===================================================
515 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
516 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
517 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
518 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
519 also uses less memory overall.
521 * Make g_poll available as public api
523 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
524 that a GError is set or unset
526 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
528 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
529 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
531 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
532 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2192 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2196 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2197 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
