news 28 Posted August 4, 2008 GLib 2.17.6 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.17/ glib-2.17.6.tar.bz2 md5sum: b596b80ec89bbcc7ddb77fbf0e4db056 glib-2.17.6.tar.gz md5sum: bbdcc3370d40e875bc0841474d9246af This is the sixth development release leading up to GLib 2.18. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GLib 2.16. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.16. * GLib 2.18 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.16 series. The new API additions in GLib 2.17 are finalized at this point. Except for unforeseen last-minute problems, there should be no more API changes between this release and the final 2.18 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About GLib ========== GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system. More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for the GTK+ libraries, including GLib, can be found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.4 to GLib 2.17.6 =================================================== * Fix problems on 64-bit Windows * g_markup_context_get_user_data: New function to access the user_data outside of callbacks * GIO - g_mount_guess_content_type_sync: synchronous version of g_mount_guess_content_type - GEmblem: A GIcon implementation that adds emblem-related metadata to icons - GEmblemedIcon: A GIcon implementation that can add emblems to icons * Bugs fixed: 544088 option_test_LDADD is left in tests/Makefile.am 544465 gmarkup makes it hard to use pre-rolled parsers 545485 Implicit declaration of utime() 545798 "Since: 2.18" mark is missing in g_set_error_literal... 544140 fam-helper 64-bit issue 529694 SELinux context setting support 545157 wrong/no list of "open with" applications for .cc... 545203 gfile.c: argument is different type 545457 gdmsetup crashed with SIGSEGV in g_unix_mount_guess... 544177 Fix trivial cut and paste error in documentation 545395 Language tweak for g_value_set_string* docs 541036 Gnumeric crashes when trying to open Desktop... 546079 leak in xdgmime 545395 Language tweak for g_value_set_string* docs 546017 Don't copy attributes when copying a symlink * Updated translations: Arabic (ar) Estonian (et) Galician (gl) Italian (it) Japanese (ja) Korean (ko) Norwegian bokmål (nb) Pashto (ps) Portugese (pt) Thanks to all contributors: Mathias Hasselmann Hiroyuki Ikezoe Richard Hult Tor Lillqvist Tim Janik Ryan Lortie Kouhei Sutou Priit Laes Tomas Bzatek David Zeuthen Bastien Nocera Kazuki Iwamoto Hans Breuer Paul Bolle Erik Walthinsen Marek Kasik Clemens Buss Carlos Garcia Campos Erik Walthinsen Christian Kellner August 4, 2008 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ Share this post Link to post
