--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glib2
Product : Fedora 8
Version : 2.14.6
Release : 1.fc8
URL : http://www.gtk.org
Summary : A library of handy utility functions
Description :
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis
for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure
handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime
functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an
object system.
This package provides version 2 of GLib.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
PCRE 7.6 fixed following bug: A character class containing a very large
number of characters with codepoints greater than 255 (in UTF-8 mode, of
course) caused a buffer overflow. The GLib release 2.14.6 updates the
included copy of PCRE to version 7.6.
