GLib 2.15.2 released



GLib 2.15.2 is now available for download at:

   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.15/

glib-2.15.2.tar.bz2 md5sum: 633243dd337464a61336146ab862a646
glib-2.15.2.tar.gz  md5sum: 3d2b5268c96bc09e7bb5e82637987f8f

This is the third development release leading up to GLib 2.16.

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 2.14. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib 2.14.

 * GLib 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GLib 2.14 series. The new API in GLib should be 
   stable at this point; we are still expecting to do
   some minor API additions in GIO, so there may be 
   incompatibilities between this release and the final
   2.16 release.

 * 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:
