Despite linked lists being a fairly fundamental computer science
concept, some developers insist on using:
g_list_length (list) > 0
to determine whether a list is non-empty, rather than using:
list != NULL
Add a comment to the documentation for g_list_length() and
g_slist_length() pointing out the better alternative in the hope that it
will prevent some of this abuse.

Using G_STRLOC ends up embedding unique strings of the form
__FILE__:__LINE__ in the compiled binary. We can avoid these
by passing __FILE__ and __LINE__ separately when constructing
the warning text.
This probably reduces the size of the binary as __FILE__ is
likely already contained as string otherwise.
Note that for GCC 2.x this changes behavior because G_STRLOC
also contained __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.

In g_file_make_directory_with_parents(), the my_error variable is used
for several different purposes throughout the whole function, not all of
which are obvious. This explains the situation with some comments.

We should not advise people to cast the result of
g_hash_table_get_keys_as_array() to a type that looks suitable for use
with g_strfreev(). Advise to use (const gchar **) instead.
Add a GSocketListener test program. Currently the only test is a
regression test for bug 712570 (based on a standalone bug reproducer
provided by Ross Lagerwall).
If all users of a GThreadedSocketService release their references to the
service while a connection thread is running, the thread function will
release the last reference to the service which causes the finalize to
deadlock waiting for all threads to finish (because it's called from the
thread function).
To fix this, don't wait for all threads to finish in the service's
finalize method. Since the threads hold a reference to the service,
finalize should only be called when all threads are finished running (or
have unrefed the service and are about to finish).

Update glibconfig.h.win32.in so that it will be in-line with the ones that
are produced with configure.ac, for use on Windows builds.
Thanks to Philip Withnall for pointing out the changes needed in bug
727829.
g_get_monotonic_time() and g_get_real_time() now always use different
clocks, so we cannot avoid correcting for their offset. Fixes failure
to time out on Mac OS X.

Internal allocation size (array->alloc) was being kept to 0 when a new
GByteArray was created from an already existing heap-allocated buffer.
Among other things, this was making g_byte_array_set_size() fully clear all
the buffer contents (not just the newly allocated memory) when
G_DEBUG=gc-friendly was being used...
if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly))
memset (array->data + array->alloc, 0, want_alloc - array->alloc);

Disable the deprecation warnings on GObject properties by default. This
change is only being made on the stable branch, and maybe only for this
one stable series -- the warnings will remain enabled by default on the
unstable releases.
This ensures the uintptr_t type is defined on mingw-w64.
Fixes compile error:

g_thread_pool_push() only returns an error if it fails to spawn a new
thread. However, it unconditionally adds the task to its worker queue,
so:
• if _any_ threads exist in the pool, the task will eventually be
handled; and
• if _no_ threads exist in the pool, the task will be handled if one
is eventually successfully spawned.
If no more threads are ever spawned, the process probably has bigger
problems than a single GTask which is taking forever to complete.
