+Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
+==================================
+
+* Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
+ - `g_array_copy()`
+ - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
+ - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
+ - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
+ - `g_array_binary_search()`
+
+* Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
+
+* Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
+  called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
+  rather than silently leaking. (#787)
+
+* Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
+  long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
+
+* Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
+  Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
+
+* Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
+  third-party code should now be using
+  `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
+
+* Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
+
+* Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
+
+* Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
+  function (#1791)
+
+* Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
+
+* Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
+  of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
+
+* More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
+
+* Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
+
+* Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
+  higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
+
+* Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
+
+* Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
+  of packaged libraries (!951)
+
+* Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support
+  on Windows (!979)

+ - #1270 g_get_charset always returns 8-bit codepage on Windows, crippling UTF-8 output
+ - #1438 Deprecate GTimeVal- and GTime-based APIs
+ - #1635 g_socket_join_multicast_group iface parameter fails on win32/64
+ - #1648 2.58.2: Assorted asserts fail in Arch Linux when built statically

+ - #1811 Introspection info for g_unichar_compose's 3rd arg should be OUT
