Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
==============================================

* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
  dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
  64-bit integer.
  Affected functions:
  g_source_get_time
  g_periodic_unblock
  g_get_monotonic_time
  g_get_real_time
  The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
  discouraged.

* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
  in async GIO APIs:
  g_simple_async_result_take_error
  g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
  g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle

* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
  g_variant_lookup

* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
  D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
  G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
  g_get_user_runtime_dir

* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

* Bugs fixed:
 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
 633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...
 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle

* Translation updates:
  Belarusian
  Galician
  Hebrew
  Punjabi
  Spanish
