Glib-1.030 (unstable) released

[muppet <scott asofyet org>]

Finally out of cvs and back onto time-based releases.  The holidays got 
us out of the habit, and i regret it.

Version 1.030 is the first in a new unstable development series.  The 
API is not frozen, things can and will change, this code may crash your 
programs, burn your pizza, run over your dog, break up with your 
girlfriend and spit water on your boss.  Don't use this for production 
work, but help us find the bugs in it so we don't stay in beta forever.

This release is available from the sourceforge project page (ross will 
have signed rpms up soon), and is tagged in cvs as rel-1-03-0, but 
you'd be better off using HEAD if you're on anonymous cvs.


Summary of changes since 1.02x:

MakeHelper's utilities now allow "disable-doc" on a Makefile.PL 
command-line to disable doc generation.  This works for all 
Glib::MakeHelper-based projects.

It is now possible to register new GFlags and GEnum types from Perl.  
These are typically useful as types for object properties of 
perl-derived GObjects.

We now compile cleanly and pass tests on x86_64 platforms.  Some tests 
are skipped until bugfixes in glib hit mainstream.  Thanks to Jacek 
Konieczny.

Added documentation for tie_properties.

ParseXSDoc now supports continuation lines in xsubs, and properly hides 
things that want to be hidden.

Invocation of signal and event handlers no longer clobbers $@ at the 
application level.  Thanks to Thierry Vignaud.

Added version information APIs in GUtils.xs.  This very late addition 
has not yet been field tested; the idea is to allow the test suite to 
work around glib bugs.

Added filename_to_uri and filename_from_uri, but they have problems 
with localization.  Need help debugging this.

Glib is now a proper Exporter, and can export the filename utilities.  
We also allow method invocation of those functions to quell 
controversy.  Props to cxreg in irc for pointing out my mistake on the 
prototype issue.
