GLib 2.29.90



GLib 2.29.90 is ready.

    95af3f46a40ad1a3ecfe75db59b27956b256c4ad02f000be2aa13c7abd32fba3  glib-2.29.90.tar.xz

I consider this to be (almost) a release candidate.

There is probably a bug in GSettings that is causing lots of problems
with gnome-settings-daemon that will need to be fixed before the next
cycle.  Other than that, we're more or less frozen -- it should mostly
be docs and translations in the next release.

There are two API breaks in this release with respect to the previous.
One is a rename and the other is simple removal of a function that was
only added in the last micro release.  See below.
