7 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
8 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

288 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
289 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
290 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

292 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
293 while loading or saving it.
294 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
295 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).

299 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
300 interfaces to dynamic types.

1024 ===================================================
1026 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
1027 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
1028 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
1029 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
1030 also uses less memory overall.
1032 * Make g_poll available as public api
1034 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
1035 that a GError is set or unset
1037 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1039 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1040 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1042 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1043 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2657 =================================================
2659 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
2660 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
2661 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
2663 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
2664 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2667 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
2668 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
2669 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
2671 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
2673 * Memory management:
2674 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

2676 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
2677 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
2678 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
2679 never worked as intended.
2680 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
2681 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
2682 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
2683 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
2684 efficient and scalable implementation.
2685 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
2688 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
2689 unnecessary recursion.

2694 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
2698 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
2701 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2702 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2703 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2707 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2708 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
2709 since they are in glib.h
