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.

GLib 2.18 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement
in functionality over GLib 2.16 while maintaining binary and
source compatibility.

Major new features include:

 * Unicode 5.1 support

 * Support for the latest version of the shared-mime specification,
   including icons for mime types and content types for volumes

 * Improved internationalization support with g_dgettext(), g_dngettext()
   and NC_()

 * Support for "subparsers" in GMarkup

 * Support for emblems on icons

 * GIO supports HTTP URIs on Windows

announcements of the 2.17.x development releases:
