+Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
+==================================
+
+* This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
+  Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
+  in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
+  to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
+
+* Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
+  directory for each unit test. (#538)
+
+* Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
+
+* Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
+
+* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
+
+* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
+  `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
+  misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
+  still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
+
+* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
+  large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
+
+* Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
+  and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
+  ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
+
+* Various fixes to the Meson build.
+
+* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
+  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
+  (!196)
+
+* `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
+  https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
+
+* Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
+  running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
+  upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
+
+* Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
+  portal backends. (!317)
+
+* Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
+  debugging. (!384)
+
+* Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
+
+* Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
+  fixes. (!411)
+
+* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
+
+* Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
+  TLS 1.3. (!478)
+
+* Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
+  for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
+  systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
+
+* Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
+  is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
+
+* Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
+  and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
+  setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
+  is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
+
+* Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
+
+* Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)
+
+* Bugs fixed:
+ - #107 The "g_key_file_get_comment" interface returns comment with unexpected new line symbol at the end
+ - #179 g_object_unref assert in debug code
