* glib/gstring.[ch] (g_string_set_size): Add function to
        allow setting the length of a string greater than the
        current length (for buffering usage)

        * glib/gstring.[ch]: Expose string->allocated_len, since
        that is useful when using GString simply as a buffer.
        (Renamed from string->alloc)

        * glib/giochannel.[ch] glib/giounix.c glib/giowin32.c:
        Major patch from Hidetoshi Tajima and Ron Steinke
        reworking GIOChannel to have:

         - Buffering
         - Sane and useful error reporting
         - Streaming encoding conversion with iconv
         - Convenience functions to read by lines or
           an entire file.

        Also fix remaining 64 bit cleanliness issues.

        * tests/iochannel-test.c tests/Makefile.am: Test case
        for IO channel streaming conversion. Still needs
        some fixing up.

This package contains the reference documentation
for GLib. For more information about Glib,
see:

 http://www.gtk.org

For information about contributing to the
GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see:

 http://www.gtk.org/rdp/

The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable,
see the file COPYING for details.


REQUIREMENTS
============

To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc
package installed. To rebuild the template files,
you must have the current version of the GLib
header files installed.


BUILD
=====

First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this
module. There is one option specific to this package

  --with-html-dir=DIR   top of installed HTML documentation tree


The Makefiles for this module define three targets:

 templates:
  
  Scan the headers and merge the results with the current 
  template files

 sgml:

  Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from
  the template files

 html:

  Generate HTML from the SGML files.

To build the documentation, do:

 make sgml
 make html

You should only run the 'make templates' step if you
need to regenerate the templates for a more recent
version of the GLib sources.


INSTALLATION
============

 make install
