+       * gutils.c, glib.h: Mark the functions g_basename and g_dirname
+       deprecated. They will issue an warning once, when compiled with
+       G_ENABLE_DEBUG, but continue to work as before. Instead the
+       functions g_path_get_basename and g_path_get_dirname should be
+       used, which BOTH return newly allocated memory, that has to freed
+       by g_free. The new g_path_get_basename now strips trailing slashes
+       from the path. This fixes #5097. For discussion see
+       http://mail.gnome.org/pipermail/gtk-devel-list/2000-April/003139.html
+
+       * gwin32.c, testglib.c, tests/dirname-test.c: Use the new
+       functions instead of the old ones.
+
        * ghash.c, gscanner.c, glib.h: Mark the functions
        g_hash_table_freeze, g_hash_table_thaw and thus
        g_scanner_freeze_symbol_table and g_scanner_thaw_symbol_table
