Glib 1.230 (unstable) available

[Torsten Schoenfeld <kaffeetisch gmx de>]

Overview of changes in Glib 1.230
=================================

* Don't copy boxed objects when passing from Perl to C.  This mainly affects
  Perl subclasses which have signal handlers that involve boxed objects and use
  signal_chain_from_overridden() to call parent signal handlers.  With this
  change, the parent's handlers will now operator on the same object that the
  Perl code sees, and changes consequently propagate properly.
* Correctly handle variables with "set" magic attached in the default
  SET_PROPERTY implementation for custom Perl subclasses.
* Add Glib::Param::GType support.
* Make Glib::Flags::bool() and as_arrayref() callable as methods.
* Allow undef for default_value in Glib::ParamSpec->string.
* Improve the documentation in a few places.
* Add gperl_hv_take_sv, a wrapper for hv_store, to our C API.
* Fix some build and test failures.

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

  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.230.tar.gz

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.
