This is the second development release leading up to GLib 2.20.

It’s great they include the changelog with fixed bugs:

* Bugs fixed:
562538 GObject interface tutorial shouldn’t finalise with
“Please forget everything”

This one is great (among others, including multiple mem-leaks fixed).

Until this last release, the GObject tutorial had the following comment at the end of the “Non-instantiable classed types: interfaces” section:

“Now that you have read this section, you can forget about it. Please, forget it as soon as possible. “

What I am not sure about is: did they remove it because now interfaces are great? or just to skip publishing the idea that even GObject developers think that interfaces suck? Who knows…
