This is the first development release loading up to GLib-2.6. This release contains new g_debug() macros and a number of bug and portability fixes.

Notes:

* This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production.

* Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GLib-2.4. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib-2.4.4.

* GLib-2.6 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib-2.4.x series; however, the new API additions in GLib-2.5.0 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibities between this release and the final 2.6 release.

* Remaining API issues for GLib-2.6 can be found with following bugzilla query:
