+Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
+==================================
+
+* Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
+  implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure
+  scripts (#1557)
+
+* Build fixes when building GLib with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined (#1708)
+
+* Fix documentation for `gdbus-tool wait` to use correct units (#1737)
+
+* Improvements to symlink handling on Windows (!269)
+
+* Add exception handling for crashes on Windows (!582)
+
+* Set `G_WITH_CYGWIN` again when GLib is built on Cygwin (this was a regression
+  from the autotools build) (!736)
+
+* Use `GCocoaNotificationBackend` by default on macOS, rather than
+  `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
+
+* Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
+  are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
+  `_GLIB_EXTERN` (!752)
