+Overview of changes in GLib 2.83.0, 2024-11-06
+==============================================
+
+* Update to Unicode 16.0.0; there may be bugs in linebreaking support, see #3518
+  (#3460, work by Philip Withnall)
+
+* Optimise UTF-8 validation of strings, including use of ifuncs to prevent
+  spurious warnings from sanitizers and valgrind (#3481, work by Christian
+  Hergert)

+  Michael Catanzaro)
+
