libgdata-0.6.0.tar.gz

This release brings the PicasaWeb service support up a notch, introduces
a number of build system changes (hopefully improvements) and tidies up
some of the API (see the list of API removals below). Test coverage has
been quantifiably improved, thanks to the introduction of gcov support,
and libgdata can now be used by other languages with the shiny new
GObject introspection support.

See the NEWS file for an extensive list of improvements and API changes.

About libgdata
==============

libgdata is a GLib-based library for accessing online service APIs using
the GData protocol --- most notably, Google's services. It provides APIs
to access the common Google services, and has full asynchronous support.

Overview of changes from libgdata 0.5.0 to libgdata 0.6.0
=========================================================

Major changes:
* Added feed icon support
* Added support for querying for user information on the PicasaWeb
service

* Ensured UTF-8 is supported correctly everywhere
* Added GObject introspection support (GData-0.0.gir)
* Added a download API for PicasaWeb images and thumbnails
* Added an asynchronous PicasaWeb upload API
* Reorganised the build system to use non-recursive automake
* Added gcov support and consequently improved test coverage somewhat
* Ensured HTTPS requests are used wherever possible, unless the
LIBGDATA_FORCE_HTTP environment variable is set
* Modified memory management to consistently use the GLib memory
manager, eliminating 53 calls to g_strdup() on an average test run
