Glib 1.180 available



Overview of changes in Glib 1.180
=================================

 Since 1.16x (the previous stable series)
 ----------------------------------------
  * Add Glib::MakeHelper::get_configure_requires_yaml.
  * Add Glib::Object::signal_get_invocation_hint.
  * Make our lazy-loader compatible with perl-5.10.0.
  * Allow Perl-derived GObjects to override GInterfaces that are implemented by
    parent classes.
  * Correct the way we check values for definedness: use the new function
    gperl_sv_is_defined.  For convenience, also add gperl_sv_is_array_ref,
    gperl_sv_is_code_ref, and gperl_sv_is_hash_ref.

 Since 1.174
 -----------
  * Tell the compiler to always look for our headers in '.' first.
  * Add a hyphen to the NAME section of generated POD indices.

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

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.180.tar.gz

...and via anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-18-0" 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.
