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
====

* Remove the `-Diconv` configure option, as GLib now uses Meson’s built-in logic for
  finding which iconv implementation to use (work by Eli Schwartz) (!2734)

* Move gvdb to a Meson subproject and git submodule to avoid duplicating its
  source (work by Philip Withnall) (!2733)

* Add `add_test_setup()` in Meson to allow GLib tests to be run under valgrind
  with correct settings easily, using `meson test --setup=valgrind` (work by
  Philip Withnall) (!2752)

* Fix deadlocks when disposing non-cancelled inotify `GFileMonitor`s (work by
  Benjamin Berg) (#1941)

* Fix `file://` requests in webkit2gtk due to incorrect xdgmime update (work by
  Stephen Jung, Michael Catanzaro, Philip Withnall) (#2639)

* Fix build errors on macOS ≤10.7 for `LOCAL_PEERPID` (work by Christopher Nielsen) (!2707)

* Add new `g_atomic_int_exchange()` and `g_atomic_pointer_exchange()` APIs (work
  by Marco Trevisan) (!2726)

* Add new `GListStore:n-items` property to allow easy binding in UIs (work by
  Benjamin Otte) (!2738)

* Performance improvements for GObject construction and destruction (work by
  Matthias Clasen) (#2661, #2665, #2666, !2678, !2700, !2705, !2712, !2713,
  !2714, !2715, !2716, !2721, !2722, !2723, !2724, !2725, !2756)

* Use a numeric space (U+2007) for padding with some `g_date_time_format()`
  placeholders (work by Maksym Hazevych) (#2655)

* Fix a slow memory leak in `GSocketClient` when using long-lived `GCancellable`s
  (work by Jens Georg) (#2670)
