Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
==============================================

* GApplication
 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote
instances
 - Support environment passing

* GSettings
 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values

* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
  timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
  which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
  been deprecated
