Emmanuele suggested adding G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to all of the
g_date_time_add_* functions to help deal with the situation where people
may mistakenly believe that these functions are inplace modifiers.
Using the internal pcre has the side effect of exposing gregex.c to
glib.h. When we use the system one, we lose that, so we need to
explicitly include the things we use (glist, gatomic, etc..)
If a DateTime gets modified to cross the DST state from its previous
state then we want to update the DateTime to compensate for the new
offset.
In other words, if we have a DateTime defined as:
DateTime({ y: 2009, m: 8, d: 15, hh: 3, mm: 0, tz: 'Europe/London' });
and we add six months to it, the hour must be changed to 60 minutes
behind, as the DST comes into effect.

Otherwise we'll have to do:
dt = g_date_time_new_full (Y, M, D, h, m, s, tz);
tmp = g_date_time_add_usec (dt, usec);
g_date_time_unref (dt);
dt = tmp;
With its additional allocations.

Timezone handling is complicated. Really complicated.
In order to simplify it a little bit, we need to expose the GTimeZone
structure.
First of all, we allow creating time zone information directly from the
offset and the DST state, and then pass it to the g_date_time_new_full()
constructor. We also need to clean up the mess that is UTC-vs.-localtime
for the other constructors.
We also allow creating a GTimeZone from the Olson zoneinfo database
names; a time zone created like this will be "floating": it will just
reference the zoneinfo file - which are mmap()'ed, kept in a cache and
refcounted. Once the GTimeZone has been associated with a GDateTime, it
will be "anchored" to it: the offset will be resolved, as well as the
DST state.

Bug #629689.
Previously, dumping a GValue holding a GStrv just yielded "((GStrv *)
0xDEADBEEF)". I think it'd be more useful to dump a Python list-style
representation of the GStrv's contents, if it's not NULL.
Fixes: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629192>
These functions are meant to replace the read_until() flavour, with the
following improvements:
- consistency between the synchronous and asynchronous versions as to
if the separator character is read (it never is).
- support for using a nul byte as a separator character by way of
addition of a length parameter which allows stop_chars to be treated
as a byte array rather than a nul-terminated string.
The read_until() functions are not yet formally deprecated, but a note
has been added to the documentation warning not to use them as they will
be in the future.
This is bug #584284.
The current msgctxt string 'GDateTime" lead to the unability to
differentiate between the full and abbreviated name for May.
Therefore, the msgctxt strings have been changed to
'full month name'
'abbreviated month name'
'full weekday name'
'abbreviated weekday name'
This is a string change, but all translations have been updated
using an sed script.
