+Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
+==============================================
+
+* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
+  of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
+  to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
+  that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
+  side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
+  has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
+
+* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
+  including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
+
+* Access to quarks is now lockless
+
+* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
+
+* g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
+
+* Introspection improvements:
+ - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
+ - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_
