(!3746, work by Evan Welsh)

preferred way for third parties to access those APIs in future; although

changed (!3892, work by Philip Withnall)

Overview of changes in GLib 2.79.0, 2023-12-22
==============================================
* Port to gi-docgen and drop gtk-doc support — dependencies have changed, and
Meson needs `-Ddocumentation` now rather than `-Dgtk_doc` (#3037, work by
multiple people)
* Move libgirepository into glib.git from gobject-introspection.git — but tools
like `g-ir-scanner` are currently still in gobject-introspection.git. For the
moment, glib.git needs to be built twice, once with `-Dintrospection=false`,
then build gobject-introspection.git, then re-build glib.git with
`-Dintrospection=true`. This process will evolve throughout the GLib 2.80
cycle. The API and ABI of libgirepository has changed, and accordingly its
version number has been bumped from 1.0 to 2.0 (note: the version number of
`GIRepository-*.gir` has been bumped from 2.0 to 3.0; see !3786). The GIR and
typelib file formats have not been changed, and are still at version 1.0.
(#3155, work by multiple people)
* Match behaviour for `GAppInfo` searches has changed (#3082, work by Nelson
Benítez León)
* Rename `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable to `GIO_USE_PORTALS` (#3107,
work by Philip Withnall)
* Bump Meson dependency to 1.2.0 and depend on Python `packaging` module
(!3666, !3752)
