gobject-introspection 0.9.6

[Colin Walters <walters verbum org>]

Hi,

GObject Introspection 0.9.6 is now available:

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/gobject-introspection/0.9/

This is another unstable release as we close in on the GTK 3 schedule, fixing
some bugs necessary for 2.32.

Notably that this release re-adds the --strip-prefix option, enabling
builds under
both 0.9.3 and 0.9.6; however it's treated equivalently to --identifier-prefix,
meaning that capitalization matters.

Because I didn't attach the shortlog to 0.9.5, here it is since 0.9.3
(last release):
