+What's new in GLib 1.3.0:
+
+* Look at ChangeLog.
+
+What's new in GLib 1.2.0 (since GLib 1.0.x):
+
+* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+
+* Win32 Portability
+* Threading support
+* GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
+ object code loading facilities in a portable manner
+* GIOChannel structure to encapsulate the IPC mechanism
+* GQuarks and datasets
+* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data
+* An n-way tree implementation
+* GDate functionality for calendar date manipulations
+* GAllocator type and assocated functions
+* Added generic callback maintenance functions (ghook)
+* Generic functions for TAB completions
+* Endian defines (G_*_ENDIAN)
+* g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels
+* Generic main-loop mechanism
+* New glib-config helper script
+* Many more API extensions
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.16:
+
+* Allocate smaller pools of memory for glists, gslists, gnodes
+* Bug Fixes
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.15:
+
+* HPUX 11 thread system detection should now work
+* Release the main loop lock around calls to prepare() and
+ check() so it is not held over user code
+* A few Win32 fixups
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.14:
+
+* Check for dlsym() in system libraries and -dl
+* FreeBSD portability fixes
+* Random bug fixes and autoconf/automake changes
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.13:
+
+* Removed alloca() based function and macro variants again.
+* Improved thread related configure tests.
+* GSource destruction fixups.
+* Fixed up idle function removal based on user_data pointer.
+* Advanced Win32 portability.
+* Enforced GSource's check(), prepare() and dispatch() constrains,
+ loop recursions may only happen from dispatch(), and check() as well
+ as prepare() are called while the main_loop lock is being held.
+* GLib development now requires GNU autoconf 2.13, GNU automake 1.4
+ and GNU libtool 1.2d.
+* Lots of random portability and bug fixes.
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.12:
+
+* Added alloca functions/macros: g_strdup_a, g_strconcat3_a, g_alloca,
+ g_new_a, g_new0_a
+* New tests structure. Type 'make check' on your system to run them.
+* Avoid unnecessary extra hook referencing in g_hook_list_marshal
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.11:
+
+* provide defaults for POLL sysdefs
+* g_main_is_running: new function to check whether a main loop has been quitted
+* a few other enhancement/fixes
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.9:
+
+* Check for pthread_attr_init in all cases, Digital Unix 4 requires this
+* For G_LOCK_DECLARE_*, if !G_THREADS_ENABLED, eat trailing semicolon better
+* Changed g_main_poll_(add|remove) to g_main_(add|remove)_poll
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.8:
+
+* Added threading support
+ - The ability to specify a set of functions to be used for
+ locking at runtime.
+ - Default implementations of locking functions for pthreads,
+ Solaris threads, and (experimentally) NSPR.
+ - All static variables should now properly locked.
+ - Enhancements to the generic main-loop mechanism to be thread-safe.
+ (It is used for the main-loop in GTK+ as of GTK+-1.1.8)
+* Portability fixes.
+
+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.7:
+
+* Removed multiple define from glibconfig.h
+
Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.6:
* New GDate functionality for calendar date manipulations (g_date_*)
* Incremental freezing in ghash
* New function g_hook_list_marshal_check to eventually destroy hooks after
they got marshalled
+* Revised GIOChannel to provide generic virtual-function based interface
+* Added generic main-loop abstraction
* Removed GListAllocator type and its g_*_allocator_*() function variants
* Bug fixes
