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.

GLib 2.32 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement
in functionality over GLib 2.30 while maintaining binary and
source compatibility.

Major new features include:

* The threading support has been completely rewritten, and
  is now always enabled

* GSettings support for plugin systems, with GSettingsSchema
  and GSettingsSchemaSource

* GSettings has gained a native OS X backend

* A high-level network monitoring API has been added with
  GNetworkMonitor

* GApplication can now export abstract menu models, in addition
  to exporting action groups

* There is a facility for linking data files into binaries and
  make them available as resources, named GResource

* The Unicode support has been updated for Unicode 6.1

* The included PCRE has been updated to 8.30
