+- Update to version 2.31.8:
+  + GObject:
+    - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
+      In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
+      to an overridden property.
+    - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike
+      g_object_weak_ref and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is
+      thread-safe.
+  + GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
+    g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
+  + GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
+  + GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the name
+    'nexstep'
+  + Bugs fixed: bgo#455640, bgo#548954, bgo#625751, bgo#658871,
+    bgo#664069, bgo#664830, bgo#665211, bgo#665805, bgo#666116,
