GLib 2.19.5 is now available for download at:

  ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.19/
  http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.19/

glib-2.19.5.tar.bz2 md5sum: b9f8453dd38266108641c448ea8d5bee
glib-2.19.5.tar.gz  md5sum: 008ca6368c8f4d6e286be8eb2b4be24c

This is the fifth development release leading up to GLib 2.20.

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 2.18. If you have problems, you'll need
  to reinstall GLib 2.18.

 * GLib 2.20 will be source and binary compatible with
  the GLib 2.18 series; however, the new API additions
  in GLib 2.19.0 are not yet finalized, so there may
  be incompatibilities between this release and the final
  2.20 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:
