+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.14.x to GLib 2.15.0
+===================================================
+
+Major new features:
+
+ * GIO: a VFS API, designed to replace GnomeVFS. The GIO implementation 
+   in GLib has support for local filesystems. The new, separate gvfs 
+   module contains various backend implementations (cifs, ftp, sftp,
+   http, ...)
+
+ * GChecksum: provides various hash algorithms, such as MD5, SHA-1
+   and SHA-256
+ 
+ * GTest: a test framework 
+ 
+Smaller additions:
+
+ * GHash:
+ - GHash has iterators, as an alternative to g_hash_table_foreach
+
+ * GMarkup: 
+ - g_markup_parse_context_get_element_stack: New function to
+   get the stack of open elements
+ - G_MARKUP_PREFIX_ERROR_POSITION: New flag to improve error
+   reporting
+ - g_markup_collect_attributes: Convenience function for handling
+   attributes
+
+* GKeyFile: 
+ - Functions that take a GError now return a boolean to indicate 
+   success, instead of void
+ - Various performance improvements
+
+* GAsyncQueue:
+ - g_async_queue_new_full: new function that allows to specify
+   a free function for leftover elements
+ 
+* GError:
+ - g_prefix_error and g_propagate_prefixed_error: New functions
+   to ease error propagation
+
+* Internationalization:
+ - C_: A new 2-argument variant of the Q_() macro 
+ - Use native character set conversion API on Windows
+
