What’s new in GLib 2.37.7? Well, GDateTime has been modified to support %:z formatting variations for timezones. Keep in mind, though, that this is a GNU date extension. Among the fixed bugs, we can mention a segfault with GObject.signal_handler_disconnect() and GObject.signal_handler_is_connected(), g_socket_get_available_bytes() issues on Windows and Mac OS X, GSocket GSource issues on Windows, defective G_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE documentation, Gir annotations on g_loadable_icon_load_finish, a no-op assertion on gtype, and atomic opts detection on configure.ac.
