Notes about GLib-2.4.0
Notes about GLib 2.6.0
======================
* GObject now enforces CONSTRUCT_ONLY properties; due to an oversight
in previous versions, it was possible to set CONSTRUCT_ONLY properties
after construct time.
* GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of a 'filename encoding', which is the
on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions returning
or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect filenames in this
encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing with pathnames have been
wrapped. To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
older versions of GLib, the Windows dll still provides entry points with
the old semantics.
* Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed to return
UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for applications compiled
against older versions of GLib.
* The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
header files and were never intended to be exported.
* GLib uses a technique involving macros for reducing the amount of PLT
redirections which has the side effect that the names of internally used
GLib functions are prefixed with IA__. The g_return_if_fail() macros
strip this prefix away, but it will show up e.g. in a debugger.
* On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window if stdout or stderr
are invalid. Simply redirect stdout or stderr if you need to see it.
* The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads implementation
