Glib 1.052 (unstable)

[muppet <scott asofyet org>]

Glib provides Perl access to the GLib and GObject libraries.  GLib is a  
portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic type system  
with inheritance and a powerful signal system.  Together these  
libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries that  
make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated projects.

This is an unstable development release of Glib, containing new  
features and other cool stuff that have been added since the 1.04x  
stable series.  The API is frozen as of this release in accordance with  
the Gnome 2.8 schedule.  Report any bugs to gtk-perl-list AT gnome DOT  
org as soon as possible.  Please use the stable 1.04x series for  
important work.

The source code is available from the gtk2-perl project page on  
sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? 
group_id=64773&package_id=91217&release_id=254053

...and via anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-05-2" in the directory  
/gtk2-perl-xs/Glib .

This release works with all stable releases of glib-2.x.

In order to build Glib 1.052 from source, you must have glib-2.x and  
its development headers and utilities installed, as well as the  
pkg-config utility.   In addition, the following Perl modules are  
needed at build time (but not at runtime):

  ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.200
  ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.000

Overview of Changes in Glib 1.052
=================================

* Remove CHECK block from Glib::Object::Subclass's import(), making it
  possible to use Subclass in evals.  Changes should be perfectly  
backwards
  compatible, with a few bugs fixed.  [muppet]
* The OUTPUT variant of T_GPERL_GENERIC_WRAPPER can now handle leading
  "const" and trailing asterisks, like the INPUT variant.  [Torsten]
