294 ===================================================
297 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
298 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
299 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

301 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
302 while loading or saving it.
303 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
304 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
305 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
308 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
309 interfaces to dynamic types.

1033 ===================================================
1035 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
1036 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
1037 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
1038 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
1039 also uses less memory overall.
1041 * Make g_poll available as public api
1043 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
1044 that a GError is set or unset
1046 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1048 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1049 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1051 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1052 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2673 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2676 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

2690 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
2691 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
2692 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
2693 efficient and scalable implementation.
2694 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
2697 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
2698 unnecessary recursion.

2710 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2711 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2712 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2716 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2717 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

3675 * Portability fixes for threading. [Sebastian]
3676 * Added convenient functions for launching new processes (g_spawn_*),
3677 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
3678 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
3679 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
3680 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
3681 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
3682 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
3683 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
3684 * Many documentation improvements.
3689 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
3690 * Added callback abstraction (GClosure) [Tim]
3691 * Added signal system (GSignal) [Tim]
3692 * Make GTypePlugin an interface [Tim]

3697 What's new in GLib 1.3.1:
3698 =========================
3700 * New GObject library added including object system based on
3701 the GTK+ object system.
3702 * Functions for getting the properties of Unicode characters,
3703 computing the canonical decomposition and ordering combining
3704 characters aand manipulating UTF-8 string manipulation based
3706 * GString now properly handles embedded nuls.
3707 * Multiple fixes from the 1.2.x branch.
3708 * Upgrade to libtool 1.3.3

3716 et ceteri with the program name and the process id.
3717 * New thread-safe random number generator Mersenne Twister.
3718 * g_strcompress() added, g_strescape() had a slight API change, and
