Overview of changes in GLib 2.86.0, 2025-09-05
==============================================
* Rework how platform-specific introspected GIO APIs have to be imported to fix
problems with backwards-compatibility provision for it, by removing duplicate
platform-specific symbols from `Gio-2.0`. Users of platform-specific GIO APIs
should be unaffected, as `GIRepository` will now automatically import
`GioWin32-2.0` or `GioUnix-2.0` when asked to import `Gio-2.0`. However,
projects generating introspection data which depends on types from either of
those platform-specific GIRs must make sure they depend on those GIRs
explicitly, rather than just transitively depending on them through `Gio-2.0`
(#3744, work by Emmanuele Bassi, Marco Trevisan, Florian Müllner, and others)
* Fix file existence queries on Solaris, broken due to unexpected flags handling
within `faccessat()` (#3770, work by Niveditha Rau)
