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
====

* Build:
 - The --enable-rebuilds configure option has been removed
 - The --with-charsetalias-dir configure option has been added

* GList and GSList now have autoptr support

* The gsettings list-schemas command has gained a --print-paths option

* Bugs fixed:
