+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.9 to GLib 2.25.10
+====================================================
+
++----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus. Users of these |
+| APIs will need to be adapted. In particular, a new release of |
+| dconf is required to go along with this one. There has also |
+| been a change in the GSettings backend API used for keyfiles. |
++----------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+* GDBus:
+ - add direction parameter to filter functions (API change)
+ - allow calling other interfaces with a GDBusProxy
+ - padding added to class struct fields (ABI change)
+ - fixes for closures-based functions
+
+* GVariant:
+ - new is_floating() call
+ - add g_value_take_variant() call (required for marshallers)
+
+* GSettings:
+ - support for binding GParamSpecEnum properties
+ - ifelse-style condition support for GLIB_GSETTINGS m4 macro
+ - remove gsettings-schema-convert tool (now in GConf)
+ - allow introspection of all installed schemas
+ - allow introspection of the keys in a schema
+ - rewrite keyfile backend (API change)
+
+* GNIO:
+ - don't implicitly close GSocket until it is destroyed
+ - windows fixups
+
+* Other:
+ - allow GChecksum to take (NULL, 0) for data/length
+ - GRelation and GCompletion are now deprecated
+ - introduce G_PARAM_DEPRECATED and G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC
+ - add working directory to GApplication platform data
+ - lots of documentation cleanups
+ - PCRE updated to 8.02
+
+* Build:
+ - the IA__g_* style symbol aliasing has been disabled and replaced with
+ the -Bsymbolic-functions linker flag on platforms that support it.
+ Please be on the watch for portability issues and report them to us.
+ - many test cases have been moved to the GTester framework
+ - lcov support has been added for tests
+ - many windows fixes
+

+ 501057 lcov coverage suite and GLib integration
+ 551271 deprecate GRelation
+ 601686 Implement diagnostic mode
+ 603309 GSocketOutputStream broken on Windows (?)
+ 616718 GLIB_GSETTINGS macro can't be used conditionally
+ 616855 GSocketConnection: don't close the socket if it's still reffed
+ 618866 g_ptr_array_remove_index_fast memory leak
+ 619878 keyfile backend calls keys_changed with invalid argument
+ 619879 keyfile backend doesn't make use of expected_type
+ 621092 Add with_closures() variants for bindings
+ 621172 Cross compiling fails
+ 621838 Actually add cwd to platform data

+| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
+| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
+| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
+| this one. |
++----------------------------------------------------------------+
* GDBus
- Use Gio's default async implementation
* GSettings
- schema file format change: store (default, options) in gvdb
- Add g_settings_sync()
- - Add g_variant_default_value()
- Add support for enums and ranges
+ - 'context' support has been replaced by direct use of
+ GSettingsBackend
* GApplication
- Switch to using variants for timestamps
620952 g_application_register_with_data is an ugly API
621252 GSettings leaks context
618715 fork() in GSettings test cases is problematic 618715
+ 621905 Assume a ref when doing async work
+ 621266 GSettings "context" clarification
