Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.15 to GLib 2.25.16
=====================================================

GApplication:
  GApplication, GAction and related classes have been removed from this
  release of glib.  There will -not- be a replacement for 2.26.0.

Build:
  - massive restructuring to reduce #include abuse
  - tweaks to silence some harmless compiler warnings
  - rename gschema-compile.c to glib-compile-schemas.c
  - Windows fixes
  - fix building with zlib < 1.2.4 on win32

GDateTime:
  - better msgctxt for translating month and weekday names
  - API is changed quite a lot, implementation is improved
  - GTimeZone is now exposed

GObject:
  - make ordering for overridden interface properties consistent
  - ->priv structures are limited to 64k but this was not documented,
    and exceeding this limit produced bad results.  Add docs and enforce
    the limit properly.
  - add g_object_class_install_properties() to install multiple
    properties in one go
  - improve debugging output for GValue containing G_TYPE_STRV

GIO:
  - fix priority sorting of GIO extensions
  - add GCredentials support on FreeBSD
  - fix support for IPv6 addresses in URI parsing functions
  - GSocketClient fixes for when g_socket_connect succeeds immediately
  - clarify string encoding for GFile constructors in docs
  - new functions g_data_input_stream_read_upto{,async,finish}
  - tweak confusing documentation for g_output_stream_write()

GDBus:
  - GDBusMessage can now be locked and copied (like in libdbus)
  - GDBusConnection filter function API has changed again
  - GDBusServer: ::new-connection now declares if the connection was claimed
  - add a partial workaround for GObject bug 627724.
  - very many memory leaks fixed

GVariant:
  - check for size == 0 in g_variant_get_bytestring to avoid a crash
    when attempting to get_bytestring() from an empty array
  - improve gobject-introspection annotations

GSettings:
  - add GSettings Windows registry backend
  - some internal tweaks to the backend API
  - remove g_settings_list_items
  - add g_settings_list_children and _list_keys to replace it
  - add schema compiler restrictions for dealing with lists
  - don't automatically emit value changed signals on writability
    changes

Other:
  - constify the 'parser' vtable param to g_markup_parse_context_push()
  - plug many memory leaks in test cases
