+Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.2 to GLib 2.39.3
+===================================================
+
+No major changes this release -- mostly lots of small fixes and
+improvements in test coverage.
+
+ * fix a crasher in code from gdbus-codegen
+
+ * improvements to gobject gdb helper script
+
+ * portability:
+
+   - fix a deadlock issue with kqueue on FreeBSD
+
+   - work around a quirk in the sunstudio compiler
+
+   - rename a variable to avoid clashing with a macro definition of
+     'environ' on some platforms (like mingw)
+
+   - use POSIX-specified <poll.h> over <sys/poll.h>
+
+   - many improvements to Visual Studio projects and and some build
+     fixes for Windows
+
+ * tests
+   - a very large number of improvements in test coverage
+
+   - don't report skipped tests as failures
+
+   - return 77 if we skip all tests in an executable
+
+   - improve gtest documentation and fix some minor issues
+
+   - fix g_test_trap_reached_timeout() return value
+
+   - remove some dead code uncovered during test coverage expansion
+
+   - Use tap mode for installed tests too, when using tap
+
+ * fix races in unix signal handling
+
+ * make our GVariant-based commandline tools (glib-compile-schemas,
+   gdbus, gapplication) print out GVariant parse errors in context
+
+ * GApplication now has a --gapplication-service command line switch to
+   turn any GApplication into a service
+
+ * improve compatibility of GApplication and GOptionContext
+
+ * fix gsettings.m4 wrt. builddir != srcdir with non-recursive make
+
+ * use a directory monitor in GKeyfileSettingsBackend
+
+ * improve robustness of some GIcon classes
+
