Glib 1.171 (unstable) available



Overview of changes in Glib 1.171
=================================

* Correct the way we check values for definedness: add gperl_sv_defined(), an
  XS version of perl's defined(), and use it everywhere.  Among other things,
  this should fix the problems where tied values were reported as undefined.
* Fix some build issues.

The source code is available from the gtk2-perl project page on  
sourceforge:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.171.tar.gz

...and via anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-17-1" in the directory  
/gtk2-perl-xs/Glib.

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

In order to build Glib 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

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.
