+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
+==============================================
+
+* GDateTime now has full week number support.
+  New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
+
+* The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
+  broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
+
+* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
+
+* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
+  New API:
+    g_settings_get_range
+    g_settings_range_check
+  The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
+
+* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
+  and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
+
+* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
+  which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
+  New API:
+    g_main_context_invoke
+    g_main_context_invoke_full
+
+* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
+  removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
+  looking for default applications.
+
+* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
+  folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
+  and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
+  this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
+
+* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
+  API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
+  will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
+
