GLib 2.13.5 is now available for download at:

   ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.13/
   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.13/

glib-2.13.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: 4f895af6d4f0c554b279437209f464ff
glib-2.13.5.tar.gz  md5sum: 7ecc80535a70f23bd3611b1036044fca

This is another development release leading to 2.14.

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. While it has had
   a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
   remaining to be found. This release should not be used
   in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GLib 2.12. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib 2.12.

 * GLib 2.14 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GLib 2.12 series. The new API additions in GLib 
   are finalized at this point. However, there may still 
   be incompatibilities between this release and the final 
   2.14 release, if problems with the new API are discovered.

 * 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:

 http://www.gtk.org/

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