*** glibmm 2.28:

glibmm is a C++ API for glib, used by gtkmm.

glibmm 2.28 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.28. It is is API/ABI-compatible with
glibmm >=2.4. It is a version of the glibmm-2.4 API.
gtkmm and glibmm stay in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also 
API-stable.

*** Changes:

2.27.91 (unstable):

Gio:
* BufferedInputStream, BufferedOutputStream: Fix create_sized().
	(Murray Cumming) Bug #638616 (Michael Edwards)
* DBus: Use std::string for addresses since they could be a file path.
  Use std::string instead of Glib::ustring for address parameters just to avoid 
  possible errors since DBus address could be a filename path as the "Addresses"
	section of the DBus introduction seems to imply:
	http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/IntroductionToDBus.
* DBus: Use std::string instead of Glib::ustring for guid's since std::string's 
  API is probably adequate enough for their use.
  (José Alburquerque) 
* DBusConnection:
  - call*() methods: Re-order parameters.
  - Callbacks: Check for NULL GError** parameters and throw exceptions to the 
  caller.
  - Add [register|unregister]_subtree() methods.
  - Fix crashes caused by inappropriate use of reinterpret_cast<>.
  (José Alburquerque) Bug #637587 (Yannick Guesnet)
* DBusConnectionInvocation: reference-counting fixes.
  (Murray Cumming)
* DBusIntrospection: Fix some reference counting.
* DBusServer:
  - Added create() methods.
  - CCorrect the type of the "active" property.
* SocketService, ThreadedSocketService: Correct ref-counting for signals.
* Improvements to the DBus examples.
  (José Alburquerque)
  
Tools: 
* gmmproc: Warn about unwrapped properties.
  (Krzesimir Nowak)
* Added defs_fixer.pl, which fixes some generated .defs by applying a specified 
  override file. This should be easier than using a patch.
  (Krzesimir Nowak)
