Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.1 to GLib 2.9.2
=================================================

* Memory management:
 - Add tests for cache colorization [Tim Janik]
 - Minimize space consumption if small amounts of differently
   sized slices are allocated, at a small performance cost.  [Tim]

* Thread support:
 - Add g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set() [Tim Janik,
   Sebastian Wilhelmi]
 - Add g_thread_pool_set_sort_function() to allow sorting the 
   tasks of a threadpool.  [Martyn Russell]
 - Add g_thread_pool_set_idle_time() to allow unused threads
   to exit after a certain time.  [Martyn]

* Type system:
 - introduce a new type GInitiallyUnowned, which has an initial
   floating reference. [Tim]
 - Add support for GType parameters. [Matthias]

* Main loop:
 - Add g_main_context_is_owner() to determine if the current
   thread is the owner of the context.  [Michael Meeks]

  wrapper functions instead of macros.  [Manish Singh]
