I have updated GLib, the low-level core library that forms the basis for
projects such as GTK+ and GNOME.
NEWS
====
Cygwin: Use GLib 2.4.5, latest gettext, libiconv & binutils releases.
General: This is a bug fix release and is source and binary compatible
with 2.4.0. The main reason for this release is a bug in the
routines converting between filenames and URIs, which can cause
problems when used with filenames which are not encoded in
UTF-8.

system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'glib2' from the 'Libs' category, if you install it for the first
time, click on the 'skip' field next to 'glib2' until '2.4.5-1' is
displayed.
