+Notes about GLib 2.20
+=====================
+
+^ The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
+  friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
+  with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
+  FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
+  constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
+  POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale.  The
+  only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
+  URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
+  looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
+  the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
+  object with the given URI.
+
+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.

+* The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice

+
+* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
+  intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
+  concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
+  inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
+  bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
+  system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
+  carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
+  to help with the transition.
