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
====

* Autotools support is gone. (!580)

* g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;
  translations will need to be updated accordingly. (#1625)

* New g_queue_clear_full() API. (#1464)

* Fix argument quoting on win32 when spawning subprocesses. (!419)

* Allow polling more than 64 handles on win32 using g_poll(). (#1071)

* Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
  upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
  not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
  machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

* Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be
  used for flatpaks. (!450)

* Accept unquoted strings in the keyfile GSettings backend to simplify things
  for sysadmins. (!603)

* Update our contribution guidelines (`CONTRIBUTING.md`). (!590)

* Add writev() and writev_all() APIs to GOutputStream and GPollableOutputStream,
  and provide implementations of them for many subclasses. (#1431)
