Glib 1.193 (unstable) available



Overview of changes in Glib 1.193
=================================

* Make the stack handling in Glib::Object::get more robust.
* Make the Glib::ParamSpec constructors return undef on failure.
* Make sure the Glib::Object lazy loader can handle being invoked on packages
  which aren't registered with the Glib type system.
* The recent fix for user data handling in callback invocation involved a
  change of semantics: modifying the user data directly had no effect anymore.
  Change that back while still fixing the original bug.

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

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.193.tar.gz

...and via anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-19-3" 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 >= 0.300
   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.
