+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
+===================================================
+
+* Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead 
+  of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation 
+  significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and 
+  no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it 
+  also uses less memory overall.
+
+* Make g_poll available as public api
+
+* New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert 
+  that a GError is set or unset
+
+* g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
+
+* g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
+  New functions to clean up app infos and content types
+
+* When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
+  and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
