ANNOUNCE: glibmm 2.15.6

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** glibmm 2.15/16:

glibmm is a C++ API for glib, used by gtkmm.

glibmm 2.15 wraps new API in glib 2.15, including the new gio library, 
and is API/ABI-compatibile with glibmm 2.14, 2.12, 2.10, 2.8, 2.6 and 
2.4. It is a version of the glibmm-2.4 API.

gtkmm and glibmm stay in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also 
API-stable.

*** Changes:

2.15.6 (unstable)

glibmm 2.15 is now API-frozen, but please do tell us about any API corrections that 
you think might be necessary before glibmm 2.16.0, particularly changes that would be 
difficult to make later, such as adding signals or vfuncs, or reordering parameters.

Gio:
* Removed most vfuncs, because they are not useful to application developers, 
  and are a likely source of errors. (Murray Cumming)
* DesktopAppInfo:
  - Added Added create(), create_from_file(),
    is_hidden() and set_desktop_env()
    Renamed new_from_file() to create_from_file().
    (José Alburquerque)
* File: equal(), get_relative_file(), contains_file(): Take const File 
  parameters.
* FileAttributeInfoList: Added dup().
* MemoryInputStream: Added add_data(const void* data, gssize len).
* Mount: Really added signals.
* MountOperation: Wrapped the ask-question signal.
  (Murray Cumming)
* Volume:
  - Added should_automount().
    (Marko Anastasov)
  - Really added signals.
    (Murray Cumming)
* UnixOutputStream, DataOutputStream, DataInputStream: Made constructors 
  protected.
  (Marko Anastasov)


Documentation:
* Install a devhelp file like the existing gtkmm one.
  (Jonathon Jongsma)
