+Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
+==============================================
+
+* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch
+ to take care of gcc builtins where possible.
+ As a side-effect of this, calls to g_atomic_ API with explicit
+ casts may now be problematic; if that happens to you, try first
+ to remove the casts.
+ Another side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
+ has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
