Glib 1.039 (beta)

[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 the last release before the stable 1.040 series -- please test!  
 Report any bugs to gtk-perl-list at gnome.org.
See the Gnome Platform Bindings Release Set Rules for more info:

As always, the code is available from our sourceforge project page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/ 
showfiles.php?group_id=64773&package_id=91217&release_id=223115

...and from anonymous cvs, tagged rel-1-03-9 in the directory  
/gtk2-perl-xs/Glib .
