Overview of changes in GLib 2.76.1, 2023-03-22

• Fix build failures in third party C++ projects using g_strdup() via C++
  qualified symbol lookup (#2936, work by Xi Ruoyao)

• Downgrade critical warnings from GFileInfo about missing attributes to debug
  messages, as it was affecting too many apps; the critical warnings will be
  reinstated early in the 2.78 cycle, so apps should continue to fix their
  ambiguous use of GFileInfo API (#2948, work by Philip Withnall)

    (Philip Withnall)
