gobject-introspection 0.6.4

[Colin Walters <walters verbum org>]

Hello Internet,

GObject Introspection 0.6.4 (and gir-repository 0.6.4) now available.
This release fixes a number of bugs, crucially for operating system
builders we should now use the correct SONAME in the typelibs, which
avoids generated typelibs causing dependencies on -devel/-dev
packages.

The 0.6 series is still in development, suitable for development and
evaluation, while work continues on finalization.

Introspection 0.6.4 shortlog:

Andreas Rottmann (1):
      Allow annotations on fields

Brian Cameron (2):
      Check the CC environment variable instead of assuming to use the
gcc compiler.
      Back out the previous change.  Now go back to hardcoding
compiler to gcc. Using CC fails when building gobject-introspection
because CC is defined to be $(SHELL) scripts/shave cc
'$(SHAVE_SAVED_CC)'.  A more sophisticated fix will be needed later.

C. Scott Ananian (2):
      Fix 'make check'.
      Bug 586994: Add annotations for
g_file_open_tmp()/g_file_replace_contents().
