Highlights from the release notes:
* Don't redefine typedefs to avoid build problems on OpenBSD
* Improve the default application algorithm
* Bump the number of children a GType can have
* GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
* many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
default in the next cycle.
* new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
* new GTask:completed property
* use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
* GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
effective busy state.
* new GSimpleIOStream class to construct a GIOStream from an arbitrary
GInputStream and GOutputStream
* GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
of a boolean property on another object
* GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
* GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
* g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
* GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
* GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.
* Support thread names on OS X
* g_simple_action_set_state_hint: New function to set the state hint
of GSimpleActions
* g_win32_check_windows_version: New function to check Windows version
* g_settings_schema_list_children and g_settings_schema_key_get_name
* add g_set_object() convenience function
* GNetworkMonitor: check if NM is not running and don't crash
* fix some races with g_mkdir_with_parents
* fix some warnings in MSVC
* avoid use of G_STRLOC in G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PSPEC in order to save
on static strings
* fix some content type vs. mime issues
* documentation improvements
* GSocket: avoid unnecessary g_socket_wait_condition() for blocking sockets
* Implement GContentType on OSX
* New function: g_strv_contains
* New function: g_network_address_new_loopback
* New function: g_socket_send_messages
* A new GNetworkMonitor implementation using NetworkManager provides
more detailed connectivity information
* GQueue now accepts NULL as a sibling in g_queue_insert_before() and
g_queue_insert_after()
* Need to disable SSLv3 in glib-networking
* GObject gained a debug option to provide instance counts. To use it,
set GOBJECT_DEBUG=instance-count and call g_type_get_instance_count().
* GOption now has a strict POSIX mode in which it stops parsing arguments
as soon as a non-option argument is encountered.
* ... and many other bug fixes.
* Many translations updated.

Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.1 to 2.38.2
===============================================
* GCancellableSource will now dispatch for each time a cancellable is

What's new in Glib 2.38
========================
* Application support
- GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
desktop entry specification
- GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
- GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
to launch other applications
- GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
to allow the shell to show that it is busy
* GObject
- the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
(ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
any problems that this may have caused.
- a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
(allowing memory savings)
- new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
private structures and their (now constant) offsets
- installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
has returned.
- it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
without destroying one of the objects involved
* Icons
- the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
with a finite number of cases
- a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
- new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
have GdkPixbuf
- support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
* Actions and menus
- GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
"visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
- new API g_menu_remove_all()
- we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
and an API to check them
- a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
- for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
with most functions, but this is not recommended
* Other GIO
- GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
interface
- GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
particular directory (akin to 'du').
- asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
have been added
* Other new API
- GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
allow for regexp matching on streams
- GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
g_variant_new_printf()
* Testing
- we can now generate TAP output
- new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
- g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
g_test_trap_fork()
* Other
- GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
activated.

Among many bugfixes, changes and translations:
* GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
* GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
particular, are incompatible.
See NEWS file http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/plain/NEWS?id=2.36.1 for details.

the Google Summer of Code 2011 program. Congratulations, Dmitry! :-)
This comes in the form of a new 'kqueue' build-time option. This should NOT
be an option, but it is for two reasons:
- I consider this still experimental for it to be enabled on everyone's
machines, and the code is not "official".
- The patch requires us to run automake/autoconf during the pre-configure
stage, and I don't want to add these dependencies on the default package
build.
When these patches get integrated upstream, we can get rid of the option
altogether.
Also note that I had to backport some of our custom changes to Makefile.in
files and some to configure to the original Makefile.am files and
configure.ac. This is to prevent our custom patches from being lost during
the automake/autoconf invocations we now do when 'kqueue' is enabled.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
