Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
==============================================

* GApplication
 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns

* GDBus
 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
   situations has been improved

* GVariant
 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}

* GDateTime:
 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
   match strcmp() semantics
 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a
GTimeZoneMonitor
   has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
   called to update the cached information about the local timezone

* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
  and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable

* GSettings:
 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing
schemas

* Commandline utilities are now fully translated

* Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
  always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
  using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

* Bugs fixed:
