This is a development release loading up to GLib-2.4. Changes
since GLib-2.3.0 consist mainly of bug fixes and small
improvements; among other things optional header files are now
provided to define the typical _(), N_(), etc, internationalization
macros.
Notes:
* This is unstable development release. While it has had
fairly extensive testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
remaining to be found. This release should not be used
in production.
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing
copy of GLib-2.2. If you have problems, you'll need
to reinstall GLib-2.2.4.
* GLib-2.4 will be source and binary compatible with
the GLib-2.2.x series; however, the new API additions
in GLib-2.2.0 are not yet finalized, so there may
be incompatibities between this release and the final
2.2 release.
* Remaining API issues for GLib-2.4 can be found with following
bugzilla query:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=glib&target_milestone=2.4+API+Freeze&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED
* Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
About GLib
==========
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects
such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C,
portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as
an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
More information about GLib is available at:
http://www.gtk.org/
An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can
be found at:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html
