987 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
988 ===================================================
990 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
991 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
992 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
993 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
994 also uses less memory overall.
996 * Make g_poll available as public api
998 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
999 that a GError is set or unset
1001 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1003 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1004 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1006 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1007 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2620 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
2621 =================================================
2623 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
2624 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
2625 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
2627 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
2628 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2631 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
2632 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
2633 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
2635 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
2637 * Memory management:
2638 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
2639 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
2640 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
2641 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
2642 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
2643 never worked as intended.
2644 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
2645 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
2646 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
2647 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
2648 efficient and scalable implementation.
2649 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
2652 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
2653 unnecessary recursion.
2656 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
2657 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
2658 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
2662 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
2665 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2666 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2667 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2671 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2672 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
2673 since they are in glib.h
