-What is new in GLib 1.1.0:
-
-* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
- shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
- incompatibilities.
-* There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
-* Fixups all over the place.
-* gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
-* API extensions for GList and GSList.
-* New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
-* GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
-* Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
-* Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
- mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
-* More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
-* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
- gconstpointer.
-* Generic functions for TAB completions.
-* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
