'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
support ELF visibility attributes.
+* The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
+ allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
+
+* A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
+ intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
+ concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
+ inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
+ bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
+ system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
+ carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
+ to help with the transition.
