+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
+=====================================================
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
+| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
+| a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Build:
+ - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
+ -Bsymbolic-functions
+ - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
+ - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
+ - use proper feature test macros for isnan
+ - use pkg-config to check for zlib
+ - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
+
+GDBus:
+ - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
+ GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
+ nobody was doing that.
+ - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
+ outgoing messages
+ - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
+ GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
+ themselves
+ - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
+ have a serial number
+ - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
+ variable
+ - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
+ flags
+ - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
+ GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
+ has finished running on GDBus services.
+ - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
+ this due to the obvious race)
+ - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
+ - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
+
+GVariant:
+ - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
+ - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
+ arguments and different behaviour
+ - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
+ essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
+ strings instead of utf8 strings
+ - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
+ STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
+ - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
+ arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
+ - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
+ arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
+ - improved gobject-introspection annotation
+ - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
+ - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
+
+GSettings:
+ - improved documentation
+ - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
+ - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
+ 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
+ overridden using <override>.
+ - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
+ - lots of new tests
+ - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
+ - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
+ gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
+ gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
+ will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
+ enums and flags in the specified .h files.
+ - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
+ (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
+ - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
+ - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
+ being set due to a premature free
+ - command line tool: bash completion support
+ - chain up in _finalize
+ - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
+ post-processing
+ - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
+ GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
+ - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
+ warn)
+ - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
+ - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
+ that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
+ - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
+ - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
+ the keyfile
+
+Other:
+ - always intern GBinding prop names
+ - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
+ - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
+ - GNode docs improvements
+ - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
+ - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
+ - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
+ SystemTap)
+
+Tests:
+ - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
+ - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
+ - improved tests for GKeyfile
+ - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
+ CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
+ - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
+ - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
+ - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
+
+ 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
+ 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
+ 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
+ 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
+ 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
+ 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
+ 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
+ 610784 array test failing

+ 622813 gsettings mapping & enum buglet
+ 623142 Ensure ::new-connection runs before processing D-Bus messages
+ 623143 Never require non-closed connections
+ 623319 use g_parse_debug_string for dbus debug flags
+ 623401 process enums first
+ 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
+ 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
+ 623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
+ 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
+ 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
+ 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
+ 623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions

+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.8 to GLib 2.25.9
+===================================================
+
++----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
+| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |

+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
+===================================================
+
+* We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
+
+* g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
+
+* GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
+ gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
+ Packagers will need to adapt to this.
+
+* Threading changes:
+ - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
+ it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
+ call.
+ - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
+ when g_type_init() is called.
+ - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
+
+* GObject:
+ - Another bunch of performance work has landed
+
+* GVariant:

+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.0 to GLib 2.23.1
+===================================================
+
+* GObject performance work has landed:
+ - Construction of simple objects is much faster
+ - Interface lookup is lock-free and constant-time now
+ - Reduced locking overhead when dealing with types
+
+* GType now has a G_DEFINE_INTERFACE convenience macro
+
+* GIO gained GUtf8InputStream, an input stream that
+ performs utf-8 validation
+
+* GLib now has byte-swap macros for gsize and gssize

+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
+===================================================
+
+* GIO:
+ - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
+ suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
+ replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
+ GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
+ GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
+ while loading or saving it.
+ - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
+ the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
+ - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
+
+* GObject:
+ - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
+ interfaces to dynamic types.
+
+* GModule:
+ - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
+ it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
+ against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
+ support.
+
+* Bugs fixed:
