From: Daniel Turull <[email protected]> GLib's docs/backports.md states that only bug and documentation fixes are backported to the current stable branch, that new features and API/ABI changes must not be, and that micro stable releases are intended as drop-in replacements. So upgrades within a major.minor are stable point upgrades per the OE-Core stable release policy (ref-manual, "Stable Point Release Upgrades").
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/release-process.html#stable-point-release-upgrades https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.88.2/docs/backports.md#L18 Checked the last two point releases for feature creep: 2.88.2 (Jun 25 2026): entirely "Bugs fixed" backports plus translation updates. 2.88.1 (May 02 2026): seven fixes -- a GCC 16 miscompilation, a GRegex out-of-bounds read with security impact, and five further out-of-bounds reads. No API or behaviour changes. The series opened with 2.88.0 (Mar 16 2026), which must stay outside the regex as the feature-level release. Already tracked this way on the OE stable branches, counting only bumps made since each branch forked from master: kirkstone 2.72.0 -> 2.72.3, scarthgap 2.78.4 -> 2.78.6, and wrynose 2.88.0 -> 2.88.2.
