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
====

* `g_unichar_isxdigit()` and `g_unichar_xdigit_value()` now handle full-width
  characters (U+FF21–U+FF26 and U+FF41–U+FF46) (#58)

* Deprecate `gtester` utility and its test reporting format and enable TAP
  output by default instead — the `--tap` option to tests is now a no-op
  (#1441, #1619)

* Add `g_test_summary()` to allow test authors to programmatically summarise
  what each unit test in a test suite does (#1450)

* Upgrade to Unicode Character Database v12.1 (#1713, !822)

* More IPv6 Happy Eyeballs fixes to `GNetworkAddress` and `GSocketClient`
  (#1747, #1771, #1774)

* Fix valgrind and gdb support for the new `GHashTable` changes (#1749, #1780)

* Fix GTask wait times growing faster than the number of task threads (#1683)

* Change `GApplication` to ignore `-psn_*` arguments on the macOS command line,
  as they are irrelevant (#1784)

* Add `g_autoqueue()` helper macros, similar to `g_autolist()` (!474)

* Add pre-allocated link helpers for `GList` and `GQueue`:
 - `g_list_insert_before_link()`
 - `g_queue_insert_before_link()`
 - `g_queue_insert_after_link()`

* Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
  levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

* Add `g_clear_signal_handler()` to allow disconnecting from a `GObject` signal
  and clearing the signal handler ID to zero in a single call (!819)

* Add `g_autoptr()` support for `GRWLock` (!825)

* Define `G_OS_UNIX`, not `G_OS_WIN32`, when GLib is built agains Cygwin (!862)
