glib 2.39.3

[Ryan Lortie <install-module master gnome org>]

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
====

No major changes this release -- mostly lots of small fixes and
improvements in test coverage.

 * fix a crasher in code from gdbus-codegen

 * improvements to gobject gdb helper script

 * portability:

   - fix a deadlock issue with kqueue on FreeBSD

   - work around a quirk in the sunstudio compiler

   - rename a variable to avoid clashing with a macro definition of
     'environ' on some platforms (like mingw)

   - use POSIX-specified <poll.h> over <sys/poll.h>

   - many improvements to Visual Studio projects and and some build
     fixes for Windows

 * tests
   - a very large number of improvements in test coverage

   - don't report skipped tests as failures

   - return 77 if we skip all tests in an executable

   - improve gtest documentation and fix some minor issues

   - fix g_test_trap_reached_timeout() return value

   - remove some dead code uncovered during test coverage expansion

   - Use tap mode for installed tests too, when using tap

 * fix races in unix signal handling

 * make our GVariant-based commandline tools (glib-compile-schemas,
   gdbus, gapplication) print out GVariant parse errors in context

 * GApplication now has a --gapplication-service command line switch to
   turn any GApplication into a service

 * improve compatibility of GApplication and GOptionContext

 * fix gsettings.m4 wrt. builddir != srcdir with non-recursive make

 * use a directory monitor in GKeyfileSettingsBackend

 * improve robustness of some GIcon classes
