        * gobject.[ch] gobject.symbols: Add
        g_object_add/remove_toggle_ref() functions to get notification
        when a reference count is the last remaining reference; this
        enables better memory management for language bindings.

        * glib/gdataset.[ch] glib/gdatasetprivate.h: Add
        g_datalist_set/unset_flags(), g_datalist_get_flags() functions
        to squeeze some bits into a GDataSet... this is needed for
        efficient implementation of toggle references in GObject.

        * tests/gobject/references.c tests/gobject/Makefile.am:
        Add a test case for weak and toggle references.

        * glib/gfileutils.[ch]: Rename g_file_replace() back
        to g_file_set_contents().

        * glib/glib.symbols: Update.

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
