-
-* Win32 portability
-* GIOChannel structure to encapsulate the IPC mechanism
-* Reimplemented endian stuff, using inline asm for x86
-* New functions:
- - g_strescape: escapes backslashes
- - g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root
- - g_getenv: expands environment variables that contain references
- to other environment variables
- - g_scanner_sync_file_offset: rewind the filedescriptor to the current
- buffer position and blow the file read ahead buffer
- - g_array_remove_index: remove an entry, preserving the order
- - g_array_remove_index_fast: remove an entry, order might be distorted
- - g_ptr_array_remove: remove an entry, preserving the order

- object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
-* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
- (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
- be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
-* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
- sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
-* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
- associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
-* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
-* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
-* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
- platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
- a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
- People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
- associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).

- g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
- g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),

-* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
- changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).

- keyed data of GtkObjects).

-* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
-
-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).

-* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
- gconstpointer.
-* Generic functions for TAB completions.
