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
====

* Replace PCRE1 with PCRE2: This is a major change to drop the libpcre1
  dependency and use libpcre2 instead, while preserving the behaviour and API of
  GRegex. G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE and G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT are now deprecated
  and became a no-op, while other flags are adapted accordingly to the new API
  (work by Aleksei Rybalkin, Philipp Withnall) (!2529, #1085)

* Preserve destruction order in gdataset, fixing various crashes during
  objects disposal (work by Peter Bloomfield) (!2776, #2672, #2676)

* Require C99 __VA_ARGS__ (work by Emmanuele Bassi) (!2791, #2681)

* Add NONE or DEFAULT members to most flags types (work by Simon McVittie) (!2576)

* GFile: Add some missing async APIs (work by Marco Trevisan) (!2717)

* Improve internal and process documentation (work by Philipp Withnall) (!2763)

* Add atomic compare-and-exchange APIs returning previous value (work by Marco
  Trevisan) (!2766)

* Add G_DEFINE_ENUM_TYPE and G_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE macros (work by Emmanuele Bassi)
  (!2788)

* Add platform-independent G_ALWAYS_INLINE and G_NO_INLINE (work by Marco Trevisan)
  (!2781)

* Use waitid() on pidfds rather than a global SIGCHLD handler (work by Philip
  Withnall) (!2408)
