+
+ * GIO
+ - Memory leak fixes

+ - GDateTime is a replacement for GDate that supports time
+ and timezone information.

+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
+=====================================================
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
+glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
+being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
+of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
+serious problems.
+
+There have been many other improvements, however:
+
+ Build and testing:
+ - vastly improved test coverage
+ - old tests moved to the gtester framework
+ - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
+ - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
+
+ GVariant:
+ - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
+
+ GDBus:
+ - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
+ - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
+ - improve debug output, add some extra options
+ - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
+ explaining why
+ - sort property names correctly
+ - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
+ anyway
+ - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
+
+ GSettings:
+ - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
+ without mapping functions
+ - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
+
+ Binding:
+ - improve closure support for bindings
+ - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
+
+ Other:
+ - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
+
+Bugs closed:
+ 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config
+ 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion
+ 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in
+ 625472 Valgrind claims uninitialized bytes used
+ 625500 g_date_set_time_val documentation doesn't mention local time
+ 625628 GDBusProxy: wrong property name sorting
+ 625753 Incorrect flags used in g_dbus_connection_call_sync()
+ 625827 Expand documentation about error quark naming
+ 625988 builddir != srcdir issues
+ 626107 glibconfig.h is being disted
