Overview of changes in GLib 2.81.1, 2024-08-02

• Add g_sort_array() and deprecate g_qsort_with_data(), to ensure that
  it can be used with GArray without truncating the data set.

• Continue the port of the documentation over from gtk-doc to gi-docgen.

• Add network monitor implementation for macOS.

• Use per-instance locking in GCancellable, and fix races when disposing
  of a GCancellable.

  and similar functions.
