Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
==================================
* Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
with Meson or autotools. See:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
* Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
* Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
* Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
* Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
* Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
Bugs fixed:
!280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
!266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
!279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
!265 Network monitor again
!274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
!239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
!195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
#1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
!270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
!267 ci: Add an autotools job

Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
==================================
* G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
* Many minor documentation fixes.
* Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
* Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
* Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
* Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
* Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
* MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
See #1476.
* Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
* Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
Bugs fixed:
!263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
!262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
#1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

#1472 Test for BROKEN_IP_MREQ_SOURCE_STRUCT is broken on Windows / Mingw
!220 date test: Use g_test_skip(), not g_test_incomplete()

#1433 test_posix_parse: assertion failed (g_time_zone_get_abbreviation (tz, 0) == "UTC"): ("LMT" == "UTC")
#1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
!206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
#1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error
