323 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
324 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
325 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

327 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
328 while loading or saving it.

330 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).

334 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
335 interfaces to dynamic types.

1058 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
1059 ===================================================
1061 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
1062 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
1063 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
1064 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
1065 also uses less memory overall.
1067 * Make g_poll available as public api
1069 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
1070 that a GError is set or unset
1072 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1074 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1075 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1077 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1078 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
