GLib 2.13.3 released



GLib 2.13.3 is now available for download at:

   ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.13/
   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.13/

glib-2.13.3.tar.bz2 md5sum: 3cc87720531d9093501a52845d7619fa
glib-2.13.3.tar.gz  md5sum: 7514863a05135de1d5a85da7e681876f

This is the fourth development release leading up to GLib 2.14.

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. While it has had
   a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
   remaining to be found. This release should not be used
   in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GLib 2.12. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib 2.12.

 * GLib 2.14 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GLib 2.12 series; however, the new API additions
   in GLib 2.13.3 are finalized at this point. However, 
   there may still be incompatibilities between this 
   release and the final 2.14 release, if problems with
   the new API are discovered.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

About GLib
==========

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.

More information about GLib is available at:

 http://www.gtk.org/

An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can
be found at:
