+* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
+  (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
+  be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
+* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
+  sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
+* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
+  associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
+* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
+* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
+* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
+  platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
+  a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
+  People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
+  associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
+* New utility functions:
+  g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
+  g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
+  g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
+* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
+  changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
+* The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
+  new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
+  keyed data of GtkObjects).
+* New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
+* Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
+* Libtool update to version 1.2b.
+* Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
+
+
+Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.2
+=================================
+
+* Fixed packaging mistake which occured in 1.1.1
+* fix 64-bitness in g_prints in glibtest
+
+
+Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.1
+=================================
+
+* An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure.
+* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
+
+
+Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.0
+=================================
+
+* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
+  shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
+  incompatibilities.
+* There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
+* Fixups all over the place.
+* gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
+* API extensions for GList and GSList.
+* New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
+* GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
+* Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
+* Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
+  mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
+* More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
+* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
+  gconstpointer.
+* Generic functions for TAB completions.
+* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.

-Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.4:
-
-* Added generic callback maintenance functions (ghook)
-* New endian defines (G_*_ENDIAN)
-* New string join/split/free routines 
-* Fixes
-
-Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.3:
-
-* New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
-  object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
-* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
-  (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
-  be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
-* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
-  sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
-* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
-  associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
-* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
-* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
-* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
-  platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
-  a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
-  People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
-  associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
-* New utility functions:
-  g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
-  g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
-  g_strnfill(), g_memdup(). 
-* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
-  changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
-* The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
-  new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
-  keyed data of GtkObjects).
-* New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
-* Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
-* Libtool update to version 1.2b.
-* Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
-
-Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.2:
-
-* Fixed packaging mistake which occured in 1.1.1
-* fix 64-bitness in g_prints in glibtest
-
-What is new in GLib 1.1.1:
-
-* An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure.
-* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
-
-What is new in GLib 1.1.0:
-
-* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
-  shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
-  incompatibilities.
-* There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
-* Fixups all over the place.
-* gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
-* API extensions for GList and GSList.
-* New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
-* GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
-* Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
-* Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
-  mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
-* More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
-* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
-  gconstpointer.
-* Generic functions for TAB completions.
-* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
