GLib-2.1.5 release [please test]

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

GLib-2.1.5 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/

This is a the final prerelease before GLib-2.2. As compared
to the stable GTK+-2.0.x series, it contains a number of small
API additions. Also new in this release is support for building
using an included copy of the Trio library (http://daniel.haxx.se/trio/)
for formatting strings on systems whose printf() function is 
deficient.

Since 2.1.4, changes are various minor bug fixes and fixes
to the build process. (Various problems that showed up
from the major build changes in 2.1.4 have now been fixed.)

Notes:

 * This is is still a development release. Please test it.
   Please don't use it in production.

 * Only very minor changes are anticipated between GLib-2.1.5 
   and the final GLib-2.2.0.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GLib-2.0. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib-2.0.7.

 * The seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random generator used by 
   GRand and GRandom was because some seeds would yield very bad 
   pseudo-random streams. If you need exact compatibility with the
   GLib-2.0 algorithm, a G_RANDOM_VERSION environment variable
   is supported; see the README file for further details.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
   

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.

More information about GLib is available at:

An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can
be found at:
