GLib 2.37.5 Implements the Desktop Action Specification

What’s new in GLib 2.37.5? Well, the development team implemented the Desktop Action specification, which means that in the case that the app is a DBusActivatable and GApplication, actions from the desktop file are automatically translated into GActions that have been already added to the app using the g_action_map_add_action() API. GLib 2.37.5 also introduces GPropertyAction, a new type of GAction, designed in such a way that it represents the value of a property on an object, allowing value changes when activated. Moreover, GNetworkMonitorNetlink has been improved and its now able to handle default routes via a device.
