+Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
+====================================================
+
+ * GSettings fixes/improvements
+
+ - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
+
+ - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
+ type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
+ and description
+
+ - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
+ source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
+ source.
+
+ - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
+
+ - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
+
+ - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
+ by the sysadmin)
+
+ - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
+ particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
+
+ - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
+
+ * Applications/Actions
+
+ - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
+ that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
+ after construction)
+
+ - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
+ via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
+
+ - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
+ Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
+ instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
+ not itself at fault for the errant call)
+
+ * Appinfo
+
+ - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
+ accesses that are performed in common situations
+
+ - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
+ are installed/removed
+
+ - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
+ installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
+
+ * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
+ "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
+ as 'my:tag')
+
+ * GDBus
+
+ - ignore qualified tags, as above
+
+ - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
+ that test programs don't pick them up
+
+ - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
+
+ * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
+ timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
+ '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
+ due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
+
+ * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
+ additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
+
+ * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
+ large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
+ the testcases, but some in glib itself).
+
+ * GIO:
+
+ - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
+
+ - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
+
+ - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
+

+ 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
+ 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
+ 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
+ 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
+ 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
+ 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
+ 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
+ 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
+ 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
+ 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
+ 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
+ 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
+ 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
+ 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

+ 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake
+ 710738 GRand has lame fallback for Windows

Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
====================================================
- fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
- - g_source_remove() will not throw a critical in the case that you
+ - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
