GLib 2.38.2 adds a workaround for buggy D-Bus daemons, adds a fallback for ‘-symbolic’ icons to the non-symbolic form, fixes a crash that occurred when replacing a symlink with another, while using GIO, and fixes another crash that occurred when loading a DBusActivatable application from a keyfile. Moreover, GCancellableSource will now dispatch for each time a function is reset, g_file_copy() now works on gvfs filesystems that don’t implement query_info_on_read(), and g_source_add_child_source() thread safety issues were repaired.
