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 2.14 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement
in functionality over GLib 2.12 while maintaining binary and
source compatibility. 

Major new features include:

 * GRegex: an implementation of Perl regular expressions,
   based on PCRE

 * GSequence: a list that is implemented using a balanced
   binary tree
 
 * g_get_user_special_dir(): Support for xdg-user-dirs
