+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.
