ANNOUNCE: GLib 1.1.6 Released

["Shawn T . Amundson" <amundson gimp org>]

GLib 1.1.6 is now at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.1/.                         

The 1.1.x releases of GLib are DEVELOPMENT RELEASES, and as such
there are usually large changes between releases.  You should not
expect 1.1.x series to be stable, since the focus is on enhanced
features.  You can find a stable version of GLib distributed with
GTK+ 1.0.x series.

Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.6:

* New GDate functionality for calendar date manipulations (g_date_*)
* New GAllocator type and assocated functions
* New functions g_slist_copy and g_list_copy to duplicate a list with all
  its data pointers.
* New function g_array_insert_vals and new macro g_array_insert_val to
  insert elements at an arbitrary index
* GAllocators used for glist, gslist, gnode node allocations
* Incremental freezing in ghash
* New function g_hook_list_marshal_check to eventually destroy hooks after
  they got marshalled
* Revised GIOChannel to provide generic virtual-function based interface
* Added generic main-loop abstraction
* Removed GListAllocator type and its g_*_allocator_*() function variants
* Bug fixes
