* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
+* For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
+ dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
+ private). This means that programs got away with calling
+ g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
+ dependencies.
+
+ gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
+ such programs to break.
+
+ The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
+ on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
+ versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
