[Brian Manning <cpan xaoc org>]

Overview of changes in Glib 1.310 (unstable) [2015-01-27]
==========================================================

* Add Glib::Variant and Glib::VariantType
* Add char_byte and char_byte_ornull typemaps
* Reorder and reformat our header and typemap a little
* Hush a compiler warning in GMainLoop.xs

Note: Glib::Variant and Glib::VariantType require glib version 2.24.0 or
newer to work.

Glib is available via CPAN, or as a tarball from Sourceforge:

  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.310.tar.gz
  (http://bit.ly/1H94Ume)

Or view the source in the Gtk2-Perl git repo:

  http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/tag/?id=rel-1-31-0
  (http://bit.ly/1H94Umk)

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.
