+Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
+===================================================
+
+* We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
+
+* g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
+
+* GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
+ gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
+ Packagers will need to adapt to this.
+
+* Threading changes:
+ - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
+ it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
+ call.
+ - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
+ when g_type_init() is called.
+ - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
+
+* GObject:
+ - Another bunch of performance work has landed
+
