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 2.32 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement in functionality over GLib 2.30 while maintaining binary and source compatibility. Major new features include: * The threading support has been completely rewritten, and is now always enabled * GSettings support for plugin systems, with GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource * GSettings has gained a native OS X backend * A high-level network monitoring API has been added with GNetworkMonitor * GApplication can now export abstract menu models, in addition to exporting action groups * There is a facility for linking data files into binaries and make them available as resources, named GResource * The Unicode support has been updated for Unicode 6.1 * The included PCRE has been updated to 8.30 For more details and lists of fixed bugs, see the NEWS file that is included in the tarball, or see: http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/plain/NEWS?id=2.32.0 For concerns about porting from older GLib release, see the README file that is included in the tarball, or see: http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/plain/README.in?id=2.32.0 More information about GLib is available at: http://www.gtk.org/ Thanks to the many people who contributed to this release in the form of bug reports, patches and translations.
