+Notes about GLib 2.18
+=====================
+
+* The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
+ toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
+ generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
+ To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
+ default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
+ To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.
+
+Notes about GLib 2.16
+=====================
+
+* GLib now includes GIO, which adds optional dependencies against libattr
+ and libselinux for extended attribute and SELinux support. Use
+ --disable-xattr and --disable-selinux to build without these.
