+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.15 to GLib 2.25.16
+=====================================================
+
+GApplication:
+  GApplication, GAction and related classes have been removed from this
+  release of glib.  There will -not- be a replacement for 2.26.0.
+
+Build:
+  - massive restructuring to reduce #include abuse
+  - tweaks to silence some harmless compiler warnings
+  - rename gschema-compile.c to glib-compile-schemas.c
+  - Windows fixes
+  - fix building with zlib < 1.2.4 on win32
+
+GDateTime:
+  - better msgctxt for translating month and weekday names
+  - API is changed quite a lot, implementation is improved
+  - GTimeZone is now exposed
+
+GObject:
+  - make ordering for overridden interface properties consistent
+  - ->priv structures are limited to 64k but this was not documented,
+    and exceeding this limit produced bad results.  Add docs and enforce
+    the limit properly.
+  - add g_object_class_install_properties() to install multiple
+    properties in one go
+  - improve debugging output for GValue containing G_TYPE_STRV
+
+GIO:
+  - fix priority sorting of GIO extensions
+  - add GCredentials support on FreeBSD
+  - fix support for IPv6 addresses in URI parsing functions
+  - GSocketClient fixes for when g_socket_connect succeeds immediately
+  - clarify string encoding for GFile constructors in docs
+  - new functions g_data_input_stream_read_upto{,async,finish}
+  - tweak confusing documentation for g_output_stream_write()
+
+GDBus:
+  - GDBusMessage can now be locked and copied (like in libdbus)
+  - GDBusConnection filter function API has changed again
+  - GDBusServer: ::new-connection now declares if the connection was claimed
+  - add a partial workaround for GObject bug 627724.
+  - very many memory leaks fixed
+
+GVariant:
+  - check for size == 0 in g_variant_get_bytestring to avoid a crash
+    when attempting to get_bytestring() from an empty array
+  - improve gobject-introspection annotations
+
+GSettings:
+  - add GSettings Windows registry backend
+  - some internal tweaks to the backend API
+  - remove g_settings_list_items
+  - add g_settings_list_children and _list_keys to replace it
+  - add schema compiler restrictions for dealing with lists
+  - don't automatically emit value changed signals on writability
+    changes
+
+Other:
+  - constify the 'parser' vtable param to g_markup_parse_context_push()
+  - plug many memory leaks in test cases
+
