-* Don’t load GIO modules or parse other GIO environment variables when `AT_SECURE`
- is set (i.e. in a setuid/setgid/setcap process). GIO has always been
- documented as not being safe to use in privileged processes, but people persist
- in using it unsafely, so these changes should harden things against potential
- attacks at least a little. Unfortunately they break a couple of projects which
- were relying on reading `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, so GIO continues to read
- that for setgid/setcap (but not setuid) processes. This loophole will be closed
- in GLib 2.70 (see issue #2316), which should give modules 6 months to change
- their behaviour. (Work by Simon McVittie and Philip Withnall) (#2168, #2305)
+* Translation updates:
+ - Catalan
+ - Galician
+ - German
+ - Lithuanian
+ - Romanian
+ - Spanish
+ - Ukrainian
-* Fix `g_spawn()` searching `PATH` when it wasn’t meant to (work by
- Simon McVittie and Thomas Haller) (!1913)
-* Bugs fixed:
- - #2168 giomodule: Loads GIO modules even if setuid, etc.
- - #2210 g_private_replace ordering issue
- - #2305 GIO security hardening causing gnome-keyring to regress when session bus is provided by dbus-launch (dbus-x11)

-Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.4
+Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
==================================
-* Fix some issues in parsing floating point seconds in `GDateTime` (!1791, !1797)
+* Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
+ which makes error checking easier (#553)
-* Fix some issues in handling invalid UTF-8 when parsing for `GDate` (!1788)
+* Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
+ adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
+ variables, or mostly anything else (see
+ http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
-* Bugs fixed:
- - #2264 GPtrArray might call qsort() with NULL data
- - !1774 Backport !1771 “macos: fix frexpl checks in cross-compilation” to glib-2-66
- - !1790 Backport !1788 “gdate: Validate input as UTF-8 before parsing” to glib-2-66
- - !1793 Backport !1791 “gdatetime: Disallow NAN as a number of seconds in a GDateTime” to glib-2-66
- - !1799 Backport !1794 “gio-tool-info: Prevent criticals if mount options are not available” to glib-2-66

-* Fix sending FDs attached to very large D-Bus messages (work by Simon McVittie
- and Giovanni Campagna) (#2074)
+* Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
+ `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
+ across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
+ `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
+ last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
+ instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`
+ (work by Sebastian Dröge) (!1745)
