+Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
+==============================================
+
+* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
+ of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
+ to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
+ that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
+ side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
+ has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
+
+* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
+ including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
+
+* Access to quarks is now lockless
+
+* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
+
+* g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
+
+* Introspection improvements:
+ - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
+ - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

+
+Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
+==============================================
+
+* GDBus:
+ - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
+ objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
+ an 'object manager' pattern:
+ GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
+ These interfaces have client-side implementations:
+ GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
+ And server-side implementations:
+ GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
+ - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
+ to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
+ descriptions in XML
+
+* GTest:
+ - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
+ tests as failed
+
+* GDesktopAppInfo
+ - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
+ - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
+ g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
+ g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
+
+* GHashTable:
+ - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
+ large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
+ to store sets.
+
+* Unix-specific APIs:
+ GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
+ meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
+ g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
+ with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
+ sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
+ signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
+
+* Bugs fixed:
+ 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
+ 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed
+ 635694 gdbus aborting due to unauthorized socket in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
+ 637561 Crash when using G_DBUS_SERVER_FLAGS_RUN_IN_THREAD
+ 642935 g_date_time_format() prints wrong value for %z and timezone -0800
+ 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
+ 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
+ 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
+ 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
+ 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
+ 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
+ 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
+ 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
+ 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
+ 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
+ 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
+ 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
+ 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
+ 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
+ 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
+
+* Updated translations
+ Norwegian bokmål
+ Spanish
+ Turkish
+ Uighur

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
==============================================
-* The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
+* GApplication
+ - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
+ - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
+ - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
-* The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
- match strcmp() semantics
+* GDBus
+ - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
+ - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
+ situations has been improved
+
+* GVariant
+ - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
+ - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
+
+* GDateTime:
+ - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
+ match strcmp() semantics
+ - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
+ has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
+ called to update the cached information about the local timezone
+
+* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
+ and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
+
+* GSettings:
+ - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
* Commandline utilities are now fully translated
+* Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
+ always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
+ using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.
+
