Overview of changes in GLib 2.83.4, 2025-02-20
==============================================

* Fix Python shebang paths so they work on Windows again (#3331, work by
  Dan Yeaw and others)

* Fix refcounting semantics of `g_dbus_connection_register_object_with_closures()`
  by adding a replacement API (#3560, work by Philip Withnall)

* Support static vfuncs in GIRepository (!4457, work by Philip Chimento)

* Add support for QNX8.0 (!4466, work by Felix Xing)

  six months to tell us before this becomes a hard dependency (!4473)
