[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

[ Description ]

Take this new upstream stable release.

* Fix a crash in `GKeyFile` when parsing a file which contains translations
  using a `GKeyFile` instance which has loaded another file previously (#2361)

* Pin GIO DLL in memory on Windows (!2016)

* Bugs fixed:
 - #2361 g_key_file_load_from_file segfaults on "Key[*]="like lines
 - !1997 Backport !1996 “Include glibconfig.h to get the G_OS_UNIX token” to glib-2-68
 - !2016 GIO W32: Pin gio DLL
 - !2021 Backport MR !2016 (GIO W32: Pin gio DLL) into glib-2-68
 - !2022 Few fixes and notes for building on Visual Studio 2012 and earlier
 - !2034 Backport MR !2032 (gkeyfile: Drop a redundant check) into glib-2-68
 - !2035 Backport !2026 “Split g_test_log() messages that contain multiple lines” to glib-2-68

[ QA ]

Upstream release, so QA already performed by maintainers

This upload will trigger many autopkgtests that we expect to not be
regressed by this upload.

[ What could go wrong ]

This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be
affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some
functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime
implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time.

Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop
that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop,
that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like
GNOME terminal, Files and Epiphany.
