+ *** IMPORTANT ***
+
+This is a development version of GLib. You should be using a stable
+version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/. This
+version is meant for developers of GLib only:
+
+ * You should not base stable software on this version of GLib.
+ * GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib.
+
+*** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. ***
+
+

+
+How to report bugs
+==================
+
+Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
+(http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product glib.) You will need
+to create an account for yourself.
+
+In the bug report please include:
+
+* Information about your system. For instance:
+
+ - What operating system and version
+ - For Linux, what version of the C library
+
+ And anything else you think is relevant.
+
+* How to reproduce the bug.
+
+ If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program that is built
+ in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
+ please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
+ As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
+ of software that can be downloaded.
+
+* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
+ when the crash occured.
+
+* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
+ is not necessary.
+
+Patches
+=======
+
+Patches should also be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org. If the
+patch fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment
+to that bug report.
+
+Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch,
+and attach the patch to that bug report.
+
+Bug reports containing patches should include the PATCH keyword
+in their keyword fields. If the patch adds to or changes the GLib
+programming interface, the API keyword should also be included.
+
+Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -u option to GNU
+diff.)
