[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: glib2-2.4.5-1, glib2-devel-2.4.5-1, glib2-doc-2.4.5-1, glib2-runtime-2.4.5-1


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.

DESCRIPTION
===========
The GLib library 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.  Canonical
website: http://www.gtk.org/


UPDATE
======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
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.

=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
