1404 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1408 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1409 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

2350 ==================================
2354 * Win32 build improvements [Tor]
2355 * Improvements to error reporting
2356 (g_critical(), g_return_if_reached()) [Darin]
2357 * Add g_strlcpy/g_strlcat [David Wheeler]

2361 * Added GError based error reporting for thread functions. [Sebastian]
2362 * Moved reference docs into GLib distribution. [Owen]
2363 * Added g_convert() for doing convenient character set conversions based
2364 on iconv. (GLib now requires libiconv or a native iconv.) [Havoc/Owen]

2366 g_{locale,filename}_{to,from}_utf8) [Robert/Havoc/Owen]
2367 * Portability fixes for threading. [Sebastian]
2368 * Added convenient functions for launching new processes (g_spawn_*),
2369 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
2370 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
2371 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
2372 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
2373 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
2374 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
2375 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
2376 * Many documentation improvements.
2381 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
2382 * Added callback abstraction (GClosure) [Tim]
2383 * Added signal system (GSignal) [Tim]

2389 What's new in GLib 1.3.1:
2390 =========================
2392 * New GObject library added including object system based on
2393 the GTK+ object system.
2394 * Functions for getting the properties of Unicode characters,
2395 computing the canonical decomposition and ordering combining
2396 characters aand manipulating UTF-8 string manipulation based
2398 * GString now properly handles embedded nuls.
2399 * Multiple fixes from the 1.2.x branch.
