Overview of changes in Glib 1.241
=========================

* Register the boxed type Glib::GString, based almost completely on a
patch by Emmanuel Rodriguez
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663881)
* Fix linking against perl < 5.9.4 on some platforms

View the source in the Gtk2-Perl git repo at
http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib , or download the source release
at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.241.tar.gz

Note that tags have not been applied to the Git repo yet, but will be
applied in the next few days.

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.
