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
====

* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
  to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
  elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
  into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
  way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
  file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.

* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
  have seen major improvements.

  The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
  be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
  significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
  files appear.

  The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.

  The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.

  The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.

* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
  about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
  Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
  in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
  already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
  you use the --strict option.

* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
  since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
  to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.

* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.

* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
  has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
  default handlers for a generic supertype.
