+Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
+==============================================
+
+* GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
+ moved to GtkApplication.
+
+* the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
+ GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
+ handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
+ properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
+
+* lots of documentation improvements
+
+* bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
+
+* the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
+ we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
+
+* g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
+
+* new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
+
+* desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
+
+* gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
+ installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
+
+* Bugs fixed:
+ 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
+ 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
+ 664699 glib: documentation fixes
+ 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
+ 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
+ 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
+ 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
+ 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
+ 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
+ 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
+ 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory

+* Translations updated:
+ French

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
==============================================
-* Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
- are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are
- already there.
+* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
+ are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
+ There have also been many related improvements to action group
+ functionality.
+
+ These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
+ particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
+ menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
+ types of menubars.
+
+* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
+ unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
+ the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
+ through an idle on the context.
* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
more tightly defined semantics.
* the g_string(x) macro has been removed, #x may be used instead.
-* bugs fixed:
