ANNOUNCE: GLib 1.1.0 Released

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

GLib 1.1.0 is now on the ftp site:

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.1/

GLib is a library which includes support routines for C such 
as lists, trees, hashes, memory allocation, and many other 
things.  

NOTE: GTK+ 1.0.x versions (stable) contain the GLib 1.0.x series.

What is new in GLib 1.1.0:

* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
  shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
  incompatibilities.
* There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
* Fixups all over the place.
* gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
* API extensions for GList and GSList.
* New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
* GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
* Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
* Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
  mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
* More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
  gconstpointer.
* Generic functions for TAB completions.
* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
