gjs

1.67.1

Version 1.67.1
--------------

- The debugger now has a "backtrace full" command which works very similarly to
  its GDB equivalent.

- The GObject.ParamFlags.CONSTRUCT_ONLY flag is now correctly enforced, when
  using it on GObject classes defined in JavaScript. This might break code that
  was incorrectly trying to set a property that it had previously defined as
  construct-only. The workaround is to remove the CONSTRUCT_ONLY flag.

- Fixed exception when calling GObject.Type().

- Several performance improvements.

- Progress on ES Modules.

- Closed bugs and merge requests:

  * gobject: Handle CONSTRUCT_ONLY flag [!377, Florian Müllner]
  * Add native module registry to global (Part 2) [!456, Evan Welsh]
  * testGIMarshalling: Expand test coverage for flags [!479, Simon McVittie]

- Various refactors for type safety [Marco Trevisan]

- Various maintenance [Philip Chimento]

1.67.2

Version 1.67.2
--------------

- New language features: Importing ES modules is now supported, both statically
  with import statements and dynamically with the import() function. For more
  information on how to use modules, see:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import
  Four built-in modules exist: cairo, gettext, gi, and system. Except for gi,
  they work similarly to the old-style modules imports.cairo, imports.gettext,
  and imports.system. Consult the documentation in doc/Modules.md on how to use
  them.

- The debugger now has a "list" command which works very similarly to its GDB
  equivalent.

- New API: GObject.ParamSpec.jsobject() works like the other GObject.ParamSpec
  types, and allows you to have a GObject property whose value is a JavaScript
  object (plain object, Date, Array, etc.)

- New API: System.programPath is the name of the JS program that GJS is running,
  or null if there isn't one (for example, in the interactive interpreter.)

- New API: System.programArgs is an array of arguments given to the JS program.
  It is the same as ARGV but is consistently always present. (ARGV was not
  defined in the interactive interpreter or when embedding GJS in a C program.)

- Closed bugs and merge requests:

  * Support Native JSObject GType for Signals and Properties [!305, Marco
    Trevisan, Philip Chimento]
  * Add 'system.programPath' API. [!443, Evan Welsh]
  * ESM: Enable static imports. (Part 3) [!450, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento]
  * Refactor ARGV handling and add `system.programArgs` [!455, Evan Welsh,
    Philip Chimento]
  * Function make the object more C++ friendly [!514, Marco Trevisan]
  * ESM: Enable dynamic imports. [!525, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento]
  * Remove JSClass macros from Ns, GType, and Cairo types [!549, Philip
    Chimento]
  * various documentation improvements [!551, Sonny Piers]
  * Replace remaining mentions of window with globalThis [!552, Sonny Piers]
  * add .editorconfig file [!553, Sonny Piers]
  * Display current line of source code when displaying current frame in
    debugger [!554, Nasah Kuma]
  * doc: add Clapper and Flatseal to thirty party applications written in GJS
    [!555, Sonny Piers]
  * Multiline template literals are missing newlines when entered at interactive
    prompt [#371, !556, Ales Huzik]
  * function: Remove JSClass macros [!558, Philip Chimento, Marco Trevisan]
  * Missing classes on global. [#372, !559, Philip Chimento]
  * arg: fix build failure with glib master [!560, Michael Catanzaro]
  * Update to Jasmine 2.9.1 [!561, Evan Welsh]
  * Various maintenance [!562, Philip Chimento]
  * Add list command to debugger [!563, Nasah Kuma]
  * Upgrade to Jasmine 3.6.0 [!564, Evan Welsh]

  * 1.67.2: build fails with gcc 11 [#376, !568, Philip Chimento]

    Philip Chimento]

[Douglas R. Reno]

GJS's tests uncovered a bug in our installation of glibc when using "make localedata/install-locales". Pierre has filed ​http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/4844 for this

- Translation updates

=============
 * Fixes for newer valac

[Douglas R. Reno]

libgweather

40.alpha

================
Version 40.alpha
================

This version contains a number of API and ABI changes that applications
will need to be modified for, including:
- An application-id as well as contact information must be provided for
  every application to use online weather services. For GApplication-based
  applications, the application ID is prefilled.
- All online weather providers are disabled by default, applications
  should enable those that it has verified it can follow the terms of
  service for. Note, for example, the requirement to subscribe to the
  met.no API users mailing-list.
- A lot of the getter functions for the location database now return
  references to objects which the application will need to handle. Applications
  that use JavaScript or Python bindings should not require special handling
  for this change.

The library was also modified to use a more-efficient Location database
format, reducing I/O when instantiated, online weather fetching uses a
maximum of 4 decimals in coordinates for queries to enhance caching, and
the yr.no backend was renamed to Met.no.

40.alpha.1

==================
Version 40.alpha.1
==================

This version fixes a few major issues that slipped into the last release:
- Fix warnings related to the new application-id and contact-info properties
- Fix use-after-free issues when detached locations are used
- Fix vala binding issues by removing a left over struct definition

40.beta

==================
Version 40.beta
==================
- Fix gweather_location_next_child annotations
- metno: Use alphabetical 2.0 symbol codes

40.0

==================
Version 40.0
==================

- Fix possible uninitialized variable in location entry
- Translations updates

libgweather definitely received a major update this cycle. I suspect dropping this in will temporarily break gnome-weather, evolution{,-data-server}, and gnome-settings-daemon - evolution{,-data-server} and gnome-settings-daemon especially since they both use the C API instead of the JavaScript or Vala APIs.
