Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.2 to GLib 2.39.3
===================================================
No major changes this release -- mostly lots of small fixes and
improvements in test coverage.
* fix a crasher in code from gdbus-codegen
* improvements to gobject gdb helper script
* portability:
- fix a deadlock issue with kqueue on FreeBSD
- work around a quirk in the sunstudio compiler
- rename a variable to avoid clashing with a macro definition of
'environ' on some platforms (like mingw)
- use POSIX-specified <poll.h> over <sys/poll.h>
- many improvements to Visual Studio projects and and some build
fixes for Windows
* tests
- a very large number of improvements in test coverage
- don't report skipped tests as failures
- return 77 if we skip all tests in an executable
- improve gtest documentation and fix some minor issues
- fix g_test_trap_reached_timeout() return value
- remove some dead code uncovered during test coverage expansion
- Use tap mode for installed tests too, when using tap
* fix races in unix signal handling
* make our GVariant-based commandline tools (glib-compile-schemas,
gdbus, gapplication) print out GVariant parse errors in context
* GApplication now has a --gapplication-service command line switch to
turn any GApplication into a service
* improve compatibility of GApplication and GOptionContext
* fix gsettings.m4 wrt. builddir != srcdir with non-recursive make
* use a directory monitor in GKeyfileSettingsBackend
* improve robustness of some GIcon classes
