Overview of changes in GLib 2.65.1
==================================
* Add `GUri` API for parsing, building and representing URIs according to
[RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) (work by Marc-André
Lureau) (#110)
* Fix handling of xattr data with embedded nuls (#422)

(#1302)

* Add a `x-gvfs-notrash` option to disable trash on certain mounts (work
by Ondrej Holy) (!1549)

Eggert) (#2129)

files (!1551)

'''2.65.3'''
{{{
Overview of changes in GLib 2.65.3
==================================
* Fixes to the new `statx()` calls — note that since GLib 2.65.2 uses
`statx()`
(if available) instead of `stat()`/`fstat()`/`lstat()`/`fstatat()`,
syscall
sandboxing for third party applications might need to be updated
* Bugs fixed:
- #2189 g_file_query_info on ro file system: Numerical result out of
range
- #2191 Calling nice(20) can lead to thread related warnings
- #2197 Segfaulting Integer Overflow in g_option_group_add_entries
- !1025 Big o notations
- !1626 gio: Document g_settings_new() missing schema behaviour
- !1627 gthread: Add a sysprof mark for thread creation
- !1628 Replace a bunch of fallthrough comments with an attribute
- !1631 Fix splice behavior on cancellation
- !1632 Fixing signedness warning in glib/gfileutils.c
- !1635 gcancellable: Mark a variable as unused if built with
G_DISABLE_ASSERT
* Translation updates:

The sandboxing changes above could potentially break other applications,
such as bubblewrap
