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.

the GLib 2.18 series; the new API additions in GLib 2.19

are finalized at this point.

 

* 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:
