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
====

* Use `lldb` rather than `gdb` on macOS for debugging (#1004)

* Switch the atomic builtins from `__sync_fetch_*()` to the slightly more modern
  `__atomic_*()` (#1750)

* Fix calculation of `gsize` width on various platforms (including OpenBSD) (#1777)

* Fix undefined behaviour causing brokenness in `g_utf8_find_prev_char()` when
  compiling with GCC ≥ 8 (#1917)

* Revert UNIX mode changes in `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ID_UNIX_MODE` which broke OSTree (#1934)

* Slightly improve performance for signal emissions when no handlers are connected (!1083)

* Add `g_task_return_value()` and `g_task_propagate_value()` APIs to allow
  `GTask` to be used from language bindings more easily (!1216)

* Fix a file monitoring crash on kqueue-based systems (BSD) (!1221)
