+Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
+==================================
+
+ * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
+   not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
+   it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
+   another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
+
+ * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
+   are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
+   uses prctl() but the pthread api.
+
+ * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
+   environment variable.
+
+ * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
+   it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this
+
