 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
 ==============================================
 
-This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
-function.  Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
-environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.  As
-of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the value
-from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.

+
+* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
+ include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
+ really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
+ particular, are incompatible.
+
+* Bugs fixed in this release:
