+Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.3:
+
+* New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
+ object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
+* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
+ (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
+ be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
+* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
+ sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
+* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
+ associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
+* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
+* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
+* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
+ platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
+ a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
+ People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
+ associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
+* New utility functions:
+ g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
+ g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
+ g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
+* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
+ changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
+* The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
+ new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
+ keyed data of GtkObjects).
+* New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
+* Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
+* Libtool update to version 1.2b.
+* Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
+

+
