+Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.2, 12-07-2022
+==============================================
+
+* Replace PCRE1 with PCRE2: This is a major change to drop the libpcre1
+  dependency and use libpcre2 instead, while preserving the behaviour and API of
+  GRegex. G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE and G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT are now deprecated
+  and became a no-op, while other flags are adapted accordingly to the new API
+  (work by Aleksei Rybalkin, Philipp Withnall) (!2529, #1085)
+
+* Preserve destruction order in gdataset, fixing various crashes during
+  objects disposal (work by Peter Bloomfield) (!2776, #2672, #2676)
+
+* Require C99 __VA_ARGS__ (work by Emmanuele Bassi) (!2791, #2681)
+
+* Add NONE or DEFAULT members to most flags types (work by Simon McVittie) (!2576)
+
+* GFile: Add some missing async APIs (work by Marco Trevisan) (!2717)
+
+* Improve internal and process documentation (work by Philipp Withnall) (!2763)
+
+* Add atomic compare-and-exchange APIs returning previous value (work by Marco
+  Trevisan) (!2766)
+
+* Add G_DEFINE_ENUM_TYPE and G_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE macros (work by Emmanuele Bassi)
+  (!2788)
+
+* Add platform-independent G_ALWAYS_INLINE and G_NO_INLINE (work by Marco Trevisan)
+  (!2781)
+
+* Use waitid() on pidfds rather than a global SIGCHLD handler (work by Philip
+  Withnall) (!2408)
