news 28 Posted December 1, 2008 GLib 2.19.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.19/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.19/ glib-2.19.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: 9309139a515408d9c99558d051c18302 glib-2.19.1.tar.gz md5sum: eab90f5965f3d004b8787989be5cca85 This is the second development release leading up to GLib 2.20. 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 2.18. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.18. * GLib 2.20 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.18 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.19.0 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.20 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.
