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. GLib 2.18 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement in functionality over GLib 2.16 while maintaining binary and source compatibility. Major new features include: * Unicode 5.1 support * Support for the latest version of the shared-mime specification, including icons for mime types and content types for volumes * Improved internationalization support with g_dgettext(), g_dngettext() and NC_() * Support for "subparsers" in GMarkup * Support for emblems on icons * GIO supports HTTP URIs on Windows For more details and lists of fixed bugs, see the announcements of the 2.17.x development releases: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-May/msg00108.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-June/msg00155.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-June/msg00156.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-July/msg00019.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-July/msg00180.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-August/msg00010.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-August/msg00152.html More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ The GLib Team: Hans Breuer, Matthias Clasen, Tim Janik, Tor Lillqvist, Manish Singh, Owen Taylor, and Sebastian Wilhelmi Thanks to all the GLib 2.16 contributors, including Akira Tagoh Alessandro Morandi Alessandro Vesely Alexander Larsson Andrew Walton Areg Beketovski Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis Bastien Nocera Behdad Esfahbod Benjamin Otte Björn Lindqvist Carlos Garcia Campos Christian Kellner Christian Neumair Christian Persch Claudio Saavedra Clemens Buss Cody Russell Colin Walters Cosmio Cecchi Danny Baumann David Zeuthen Emmanuele Bassi Erik van Pienbroek Erik Walthinsen Federico Mena Quintero Felix Riemann Hiroyuki Ikezoe Holger Berndt Jared Moore Jean-Yves Lefort Jeffrey Stedfast Jens Granseuer Joe Marcus Clarke Joe Shaw Johan Dahlin John Ehresman Josselin Mouette Kalle Vahlman Kazuki Iwamoto Kjartan Maraas Kouhei Sutou Kristian Rietveld Lieven van der Heide Lin Ma Loïc Minier Luca Ferretti Marc-Andre Lureau Marek Kasik Markus Bergman Markus Brinkmann Mart Raudsepp Mathias Hasselmann Michael Meeks Michael Natterer Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen Morten Welinder Mukund Sivaraman Neil Roberts Olivier Crete Padraig O'Briain Paolo Borelli Patrik Olsson Paul Bolle Paul Pogonyshev Peter Kjellerstedt Peter O'Gorman Priit Laes Richard Hult Rob Bradford Rodrigo Moya Ross Burton Ryan Lortie Ryan Schmidt Salvatore Iovene Samuel Thibault Sebastian Dröge Sebastien Bacher Simon Zheng Sjoerd Simons Stefan Kost Sven Herzberg Sven Neumann Takao Fujiwara Ted Percival Thiago Macieira Thomas Andersen Tim-Philipp Müller Tomas Bzatek Vlad Grecescu Yevgen Muntyan Yukihiro Nakadaira Yu Kuan September 2, 2008 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ Share this post Link to post
