About GLib
==========

GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects
such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C,
portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as
an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

News
====

* GObject:
 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
   In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
   to an overridden property
 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
   and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

* GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
  g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

* GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

* GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the
  name 'nexstep'
