Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
==============================================
* Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch
to take care of gcc builtins where possible.
As a side-effect of this, calls to g_atomic_ API with explicit
casts may now be problematic; if that happens to you, try first
to remove the casts.
Another side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
