Glib 1.170 (unstable) available

[Torsten Schoenfeld <kaffeetisch gmx de>]

Overview of changes in Glib 1.170
=================================

* Make our build output prettier.
* Add Glib::MakeHelper::get_configure_requires_yaml.
* Use the above to add configure_requires information to META.yml in order to
  publicize our Makefile.PL-time requirements.
* Try to fix some portability issues.

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

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.170.tar.gz

...and via anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-17-0" 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.
