Glib 1.290 (unstable) available

[Brian Manning <cpan xaoc org>]

Overview of changes in Glib 1.290 (unstable)
=================================

* Make Glib::Object subclassing more robust.
* Correctly handle utf8-encoded strings in GPerlArgv.

This unstable release branch of Glib has been created to test changes
in Glib::Object::* with changes to hash randomization that were
introduced in Perl 5.17.6.

View the source in the Gtk2-Perl git repo at:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/tag/?id=rel-1-29-0

Or download the source release at:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.290.tar.gz

This release works with all stable releases of glib-2.x.

In order to build Glib from source, you must have glib-2.x and its
development headers and utilities installed, as well as the
pkg-config utility.   In addition, the following Perl modules are
needed at build time (but not at runtime):

 ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.300
 ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.000

Glib provides Perl access to the GLib and GObject libraries.  GLib is
a portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic type
system with inheritance and a powerful signal system.  Together these
libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries that
make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated projects.
