MIT AND LGPL-2.0-or-later
* Tue Feb 18 2020 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.58.5:
+ Can not access GObject properties of classes without
GI information.
* Wed Jan 08 2020 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.58.4:
+ Now prints a warning when constructing an unregistered object
inheriting from GObject (i.e. if you forgot to use
GObject.registerClass.) In 1.58.2 this would throw an
exception, which broke some existing code, so that change was
reverted in 1.58.3. In this version the check is reinstated,
but we log a warning instead of throwing an exception, so that
people know to fix their code, but without breaking things.
NOTE: In 1.64 (the next stable release) the warning will be
changed back into an exception, because code with this problem
can be subtly broken and cause unexpected errors elsewhere. So
make sure to fix your code if you get this warning.
+ GSettings crash fixes.
+ Memory savings for Cairo objects.
+ Fix for crash in debug functions.
* Wed Dec 04 2019 Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com>
- Enable systemtap support.
* Mon Nov 25 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.58.3:
+ Emergency release, intended to correct two mistakes in 1.58.2,
both coming from crash fixes that had unexpected other effects
on working code.
* Sun Nov 24 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.58.2:
+ GObject based class initialization checks.
+ Silently leaked return value of callbacks.
+ Crash when calling Gio.Initable.async_init with not
vfunc_async_init implementation.
+ [cairo] insufficient checking.
+ Various crash fixes backported from the development branch.
* Mon Oct 07 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.58.1:
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Import wiki documentation.
- Smaller CI, phase 1.
- Crashes after setting child property 'icon-name' on GtkStack
then displaying another GtkStack.
- GLib.strdelimit crashes.
* Sat Sep 07 2019 mgorse@suse.com
- Update to version 1.58.0:
+ No changes.
* Thu Sep 05 2019 luke@ljones.dev
- Update to version 1.57.92:
+ Enable regression test cases for GPtrArrays and GArrays
of structures.
* Various maintenance.
* Thu Aug 29 2019 Luke Jones <luke@ljones.dev>
- Update to version 1.57.91:
+ GJS no longer links to libgtk-3. This makes it possible to load the Gtk-4.0
typelib in GJS and write programs that use GTK 4.
+ The heapgraph tool has gained some improvements; it is now possible to print a
heap graph of multiple targets. You can also mark an object for better
identification in the heap graph by assigning a magic property: for example,
myObject.__heapgraph_name = 'Button' will make that object identify itself as
"Button" in heap graphs.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Remove usage of Lang in non legacy code.
- GTK4.
- JS syntax fixes.
- gi: Avoid infinite recursion when converting GValues.
- Implement all GObject-introspection test suites.
- Heapgraph improvements.
- Update to version 1.57.90:
+ New JS API: GLib.Variant has gained a recursiveUnpack() method which
transforms the variant entirely into a JS object, discarding all type
information. This can be useful for dealing with a{sv} dictionaries, where
deepUnpack() will keep the values as GLib.Variant instances in order to
preserve the type information.
+ New JS API: GLib.Variant has gained a deepUnpack() method which is exactly the
same as the already existing deep_unpack(), but fits with the other camelCase
APIs that GJS adds.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Marshalling of GPtrArray broken.
- Fix locale chooser.
- dbus-wrapper: Remove interface skeleton flush idle on dispose.
- gobject: Use auto-compartment when getting property as well.
- modules/signals: Use array destructuring in _emit.
- GJS can't call glibtop_init function from libgtop.
- GLib's VariantDict is missing lookup.
- toString on an object implementing an interface fails.
- Regression in GstPbutils.Discoverer::discovered callback.
- GLib.Variant.deep_unpack not working properly with a{sv} variants.
- Various maintenance.
+ Various CI fixes.
- Update to version 1.57.4:
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- gjs 1.57 requires a recent sysprof version for sysprof-capture-3.
+ Misc documentation changes.
- Update to version 1.57.3:
+ The GJS profiler is now integrated directly into Sysprof 3, via the
GJS_TRACE_FD environment variable. Call stack information and garbage
collector timing will show up in Sysprof. See also GNOME/Initiatives#10
+ New JS API: System.addressOfGObject(obj) will return a string with the hex
address of the underlying GObject of `obj` if it is a GObject wrapper, or
throw an exception if it is not. This is intended for debugging.
+ New JS API: It's now possible to pass a value from Gio.DBusProxyFlags to the
constructor of a class created by Gio.DBusProxy.makeProxyWrapper().
+ Backwards-incompatible change: Trying to read a write-only property on a DBus
proxy object, or write a read-only property, will now throw an exception.
Previously it would fail silently. It seems unlikely any code is relying on
the old behaviour, and if so then it was probably masking a bug.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Build failure on Continuous.
- build: Bump glib requirement.
- profiler: avoid clearing 512 bytes of stack.
- system: add addressOfGObject method.
- Add support for GJS_TRACE_FD.
- Gio: Make possible to pass DBusProxyFlags to proxy wrapper.
- Various maintenance.
- Marshalling of GPtrArray broken.
- Build fix.
- Gio: sync dbus wrapper properties flags.
- GjsMaybeOwned: Reduce allocation when used as Object member.
- Update to version 1.57.2:
+ There are now overrides for Gio.SettingsSchema and Gio.Settings which avoid
aborting the whole process when trying to access a nonexistent key or child
schema. The original API from GLib was intended for apps, since apps should
have complete control over which settings keys they are allowed to access.
However, it is not a good fit for shell extensions, which may need to access
different settings keys depending on the version of GNOME shell they're
running on.
This feature is based on code from Cinnamon which the copyright holders have
kindly agreed to relicense to GJS's license.
+ New JS API: It is now possible to pass GObject.TypeFlags to
GObject.registerClass(). For example, passing
`GTypeFlags: GObject.TypeFlags.ABSTRACT` in the class info object, will create
a class that cannot be instantiated. This functionality was present in
Lang.Class but has been missing from GObject.registerClass().
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Document logging features.
- Support optional GTypeFlags value in GObject subclasses.
- Ensure const-correctness in C++ objects.
- Programmer errors with GSettings cause segfaults.
- Various maintenance.
- debugger: Fix summary help.
- context: Use Heap pointers for GC objects stored in vectors.
- Update to version 1.57.1:
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Various maintenance.
- mainloop: Assign null to property instead of deleting.
- Added -d version note README.md.
- Extra help for debugger commands.
- Crash in BoxedInstance when struct could not be allocated directly.
- Cairo conversion bugs.
* Wed May 08 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.56.2:
+ Crash in BoxedInstance when struct could not be allocated
directly.
+ Cairo conversion bugs fixed.
+ Gjs crashes when binding inherited property to js added
gobject-property.
+ console: Don't accept --profile after the script name.
* Tue Apr 09 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.56.1:
+ Calling dumpHeap() on non-existent directory causes crash.
+ Using Gio.MemoryInputStream.new_from_data ("string") causes
segfault.
+ Fix gjs_context_eval() for non-zero-terminated strings.
* Tue Mar 12 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.56.0:
+ Stable release version bump.
* Tue Mar 05 2019 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.55.92:
+ Possible memory allocation/deallocation bug (possibly in
js_free() in GJS).
+ cairo-context: Special-case 0-sized vector.
+ Add some more eslint rules.
+ NMake/libgjs-private: Export all the public symbols there.
* Mon Feb 18 2019 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.55.91:
+ The problem of freezing while running the tests using GCC's
sanitizers was determined to be a bug in GCC, which was fixed
in GCC 9.0.1.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- gnome-sound-recorder crashes deep inside libgjs.
- Various maintenance.
- wrapperutils: Define $gtype property as non-enumerable.
* Wed Feb 13 2019 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.55.90:
+ New JS API: It's now possible to call and implement DBus
methods whose parameters or return types include file
descriptor lists (type signature 'h'). This involves passing or
receiving a Gio.UnixFDList instance along with the parameters
or return values.
+ To call a method with a file descriptor list, pass the
Gio.UnixFDList along with the rest of the parameters, in any
order, the same way you would pass a Gio.Cancellable or async
callback.
+ For return values, things are a little more complicated, in
order to avoid breaking existing code. Previously,
synchronously called DBus proxy methods would return an
unpacked GVariant. Now, but only if called with a
Gio.UnixFDList, they will return [unpacked GVariant,
Gio.UnixFDList]. This does not break existing code because it
was not possible to call a method with a Gio.UnixFDList before,
and the return value is unchanged if not calling with a
Gio.UnixFDList. This does mean, unfortunately, that if you have
a method with an 'h' in its return signature but not in its
argument signatures, you will have to call it with an empty
FDList in order to receive an FDList with the return value,
when calling synchronously.
+ On the DBus service side, when receiving a method call, we now
pass the Gio.UnixFDList received from DBus to the called
method. Previously, sync methods were passed the parameters,
and async methods were passed the parameters plus the
Gio.DBusInvocation object. Appending the Gio.UnixFDList to
those parameters also should not break existing code.
+ See the new tests in installed-tests/js/testGDBus.js for
examples of calling methods with FD lists.
+ We have observed on the CI server that GJS 1.55.90 will hang
forever while running the test suite compiled with GCC 9.0.0
and configured with the --enable-asan and --enable-ubsan
arguments. This should be addressed in one of the following
1.55.x releases.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- GDBus proxy overrides should support
Gio.DBusProxy.call_with_unix_fd_list().
- Add regression tests for GObject vfuncs.
- GjsPrivate: Sources should be C files.
- build: Vendor last-good version of AX_CODE_COVERAGE.
* Tue Jan 08 2019 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.55.4:
+ Various maintenance.
+ Boxed copy constructor should not be called, split Boxed into
prototype and instance structs.
* Fri Jan 04 2019 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.55.3:

- Changes from version 1.55.1:
+ object: Implement newEnumerate hook for GObject.
+ Various maintenance.
+ ByteArray.toString should stop at null bytes.
+ Byte arrays that represent encoded strings should be
0-terminated.
+ context: Defer and therefore batch forced GC runs.
+ context: use timeout with seconds to schedule a gc trigger.
+ arg: Add special-case for byte arrays going to C.
* Tue Nov 13 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.54.3:
+ object: Fix write-only properties.
+ SIGSEGV when exiting gnome-shell.
+ SelectionData.get_targets crashes with "Unable to resize
vector".
+ Gnome-shell crashes on destroying cached param specs.
+ GType memleak fixes.
+ Fix build with --enable-dtrace and create CI job to ensure it
doesn't break in the future.
* Mon Oct 22 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.54.2:
+ context:
- Defer and therefore batch forced GC runs.
- Use timeout with seconds to schedule a gc trigger.
+ fundamental: Check if gtype is valid before using it.
+ Backported a fix for a crash in the interactive interpreter
when executing something like `throw "foo"`.

* Wed Sep 26 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.54.1:
+ legacy: Ensure generated GType names are valid.
+ Fix GJS profiler with MozJS 60.
+ Regression with DBus proxies.
* Sun Sep 09 2018 antoine.belvire@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.54.0:
+ Compatibility fix for byte arrays: the legacy toString()
behaviour of byte arrays returned from GObject-introspected
functions is now restored. If you use the functionality, a
warning will be logged asking you to upgrade your code
(glgo#GNOME/gjs#227).
* Fri Aug 31 2018 luc14n0@linuxmail.org
- Update to version 1.53.92:
+ Technology preview of a GNOME 3.32 feature: native Promises for
GIO-style asynchronous operations. Since this is a technology
preview, we do not guarantee API stability with the version
coming in GNOME 3.32. These APIs are marked with underscores to
emphasize that they are not stable yet. Use them at your own
risk.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Added promisify to GJS GIO overrides (glgo#GNOME/gjs!225).
- Temporary fix for Gio.File.prototype (glgo#GNOME/gjs!226).
- Changes from version 1.53.91:

- Fix more "lost" GInterface properties.
- Changes from version 1.53.90:
+ GJS includes a simple debugger now.
+ New API for programs that embed GJS:
gjs_context_setup_debugger_console().
+ New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on
SpiderMonkey 60, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended
Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 52.
+ Fixed bugs: glgo#GNOME/gjs#178, glgo#GNOME/gjs#179,
glgo#GNOME/gjs#185, glgo#GNOME/gjs#110, CWE-126
(glgo#GNOME/gjs#174), glgo#GNOME/gjs#149, glgo#GNOME/gjs#132,
glgo#GNOME/gjs#161, glgo#GNOME/gjs#5, glgo#GNOME/gjs#186.
- Changes from version 1.53.4:
+ Refactored the way GObject properties are accessed. This should
be a bit more efficient, as property info (GParamSpec) is now
cached for every object type. There may still be some
regressions from this; please be on the lookout so we can fix
them in the next release.
+ The memory usage for each object instance has been reduced,
resulting in several dozens of megabytes less memory usage in
GNOME Shell.
+ Fixed bugs: glgo#GNOME/gjs#160, glgo#GNOME/gjs#24,
glgo#GNOME/gjs#173, glgo#GNOME/gjs#165, glgo#GNOME/gjs#171,
glgo#GNOME/gjs#177, glgo#GNOME/gjs#172, glgo#GNOME/gjs#182.
- Changes from version 1.53.3:
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Adding multiple ESLint rules for spacing.
- Various maintenance.
- Add pkgconfig(mozjs-60) BuildRequires while dropping its
predecessor pkgconfig(mozjs-52) and mozjs52-devel to reflect
upstream changes.
- Conditionalize the use of systemtap/dtrace: they are currently
failing.
* Sun Jul 08 2018 luc14n0@linuxmail.org
- Update to version 1.53.3:
+ Adding multiple ESLint rules for spacing.
+ Various small fixes.
* Sun Jul 08 2018 luc14n0@linuxmail.org
- Update to version 1.53.2:
+ The `Template` parameter passed to `GObject.registerClass()`
now accepts file:/// URIs as well as resource:/// URIs and byte
arrays.
+ New API: `gjs_get_js_version()` returns a string identifying
the version of the underlying SpiderMonkey JS engine. The
interpreter executable has also gained a `--jsversion` argument
which will print this string.
+ Several fixes for memory efficiency and performance.
+ Fixed bugs:
- Reduce memory overhead of g_object_weak_ref()
(glgo#GNOME/gjs#144).
- Use compacting GC on RSS size growth (glgo#GNOME/gjs#151).
- Segfault on enumeration of GjSFileImporter properties when a
searchpath entry contains a symlink.
* Sun Jul 08 2018 luc14n0@linuxmail.org
- Update to version 1.53.1:
+ Improvements to garbage collection performance.
+ Now, when building a class from a UI template file signals
defined in the UI template file will be automatically
connected.
+ Fixed bugs:
- Tweener: Add min/max properties;
- `ARGV` encoding issues (glgo#GNOME/gjs#22);
- Make GC much more aggressive (glgo#GNOME/gjs#62 bsc#1093541);

(glgo#GNOME/gjs#140);
- overrides: support Gtk template callbacks;
- Ensure not to miss the force_gc flag (glgo#GNOME/gjs#150).
- Append LGPL-2.0-or-later to the License tag to conform to due
source code licenses. And set LPGL-2.0-or-later License tag for
libgjs library subpackage.
- Drop fixed upstream patches:
+ gjs-Add-API-to-force-GC-schedule.patch and
+ gjs-Queue-forced-GC.patch.
+ gjs-ensure-force_gc-flag-use.patch.
* Thu Jul 05 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Add gjs-ensure-force_gc-flag-use.patch: context: Ensure force_gc
flag is not lost if the idle is scheduled (glgo#GNOME/gjs#150).
* Sun May 06 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.52.3:
+ Include calc.js example from Seed (glgo#gnome/gjs#130).
+ CI: Un-pin the Fedora Docker image (glgo#gnome/gjs#141,
(glgo#gnome/gjs#131).
+ Reduce overhead of wrapped objects (glgo#gnome/gjs#142,
(glgo#gnome/gjs#121).
+ Various CI changes (glgo#gnome/gjs#134, (glgo#gnome/gjs#136).
* Mon Apr 30 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Add gjs-Add-API-to-force-GC-schedule.patch: context: Add API to
force GC schedule. There are situations where we cannot run the
GC right away, but we also cannot ignore the need of running it.
For those cases, add a new private function that forces GC to
happen on idle (glgo"GNOME/gjs#140).
- Add gjs-Queue-forced-GC.patch: object: Queue a forced GC when
toggling down. Since we cannot know how many more wrapped
GObjects are going be marked for garbage collection after the
owner is destroyed, always queue a garbage collection when a
toggle reference goes down (glgo"GNOME/gjs#140).
* Wed Apr 18 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.52.2:
+ This is an unscheuled release in order to revert a commit that
causes a crash on exit, with some Cairo versions.

+ Bugs fixed:
- profiler: Don't include alloca.h when disabled.
- GNOME crash with fatal error "Finalizing proxy for an object
that's scheduled to be unrooted: Gio.Subprocess" in gjs
(glgo#GNOME/gjs#26).
* Tue Feb 20 2018 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.51.90:
+ GJS now, once again, includes a profiler, which outputs files
that can be read with sysprof.
+ New API: For programs that want more control over when to start
and stop profiling, there is new API for GjsContext.
+ New API: GObject.signal_connect(), GObject.signal_disconnect(),
and GObject.signal_emit_by_name() are now available in case a
GObject-derived class has conflicting connect(), disconnect()
or emit() methods.
+ Bugs fixed: glgo#GNOME/gjs#2, glgo#GNOME/gjs#10,
glgo#GNOME/gjs#11, glgo#GNOME/gjs#31, glgo#GNOME/gjs#37,

glgo#GNOME/gjs#65.
* Tue Feb 20 2018 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.51.4:
+ GJS will now log a warning when a GObject is accessed in
Javascript code after the underlying object has been freed.
+ APIs exposed through GObject Introspection that use the GdkAtom
type are now usable from Javascript.
+ The GitLab CI tasks have continued to gradually become more and
more sophisticated.

- Amend gtk.js and add gtk-application.js with suggestion.
- Improve GdkAtom support that is blocking clipboard APIs.
- Test "Cairo context has methods when created from a C
function" fails.
- Various CI improvements.
- Various maintenance.
* Tue Feb 20 2018 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.51.3:
+ CI improvements on GitLab.
* Tue Feb 20 2018 fezhang@suse.com
- Update to version 1.51.2:
+ The home of GJS is now at GNOME's GitLab instance:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Allow throwing GErrors from JS virtual functions (bgo#682701)

+ Some changes in progress to improve garbage collection when
signals are disconnected (bgo#679688).
* Mon Feb 19 2018 fcrozat@suse.com
- Do not try to build against s390 anymore, since it doesn't build
with mozjs54 and s390 is only for compability with old
applications (gjs doesn't qualifies).
* Tue Jan 30 2018 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.50.4:
+ Gnome Shell crash with places-status extension when you plug an
USB device (glgo#gjs#33 and glgo#gjs#38).
- Changes from version 1.50.3:
+ GJS will now log a warning when a GObject is accessed in
Javascript code after the underlying object has been freed in
C. (This used to work most of the time, but crash
unpredictably.) We now prevent this situation which, is usually
by caused a memory management bug in the underlying C library.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Add checks for GObjects that have been finalized
(glgo#gjs#21, glgo#gjs#23, glgo#gjs#25, glgo#gjs#28,
glgo#gjs#33).
- Test "Cairo context has methods when created from a C

- Align BuildRequires with configure:
+ Add pkgconfig(*): cairo-gobject, gio-2.0, gobject-2.0 and
gthread-2.0.
+ Drop pkgconfig(libmozjs-52) and libxml2-tools.
* Tue Oct 03 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.50.1:
+ As a debugging aid, gjs_dumpstack() now works even during
garbage collection.
+ Code coverage tools did not work so well in the last few 1.49
releases. The worst problems are now fixed, although even more
improvements will be released in the next unstable version.
Fixes include:
- Specifing prefixes for code coverage files now works again.
- Code coverage now works on lines inside ES6 class
definitions.
- The detection of which lines are executable has been improved
a bit.
* Mon Sep 11 2017 jengelh@inai.de
- Rectify summaries.
* Mon Sep 11 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.50.0:
+ Relicense coverage.cpp and coverage.h to the same license as
the rest of GJS (bgo#787263).
- Change license back to MIT.
* Tue Sep 05 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.49.92:
+ It's now possible to build GJS with sanitizers (ASan and
UBSan) enabled; add "--enable-asan" and "--enable-ubsan" to
your configure flags.
+ There's also a "make check-valgrind" target which will run
GJS's test suite under Valgrind to catch memory leaks and
threading races.
+ Many of the crashes in GNOME 3.24 were caused by GJS's closure
invalidation code which had to change from the known-working
state in 1.46 because of changes to SpiderMonkey's garbage
collector. This code has been refactored to be less
complicated, which will hopefully improve stability and
debuggability.
+ Docs tweaks.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#783220, bgo#786668, bgo#786995, bgo#787113.
* Mon Sep 04 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Temporariliy change license to GPL-2.0+: there are a couple files
in the source tree, that link into libgjs and bring the code to
GPL-2.0+ level; upstream is working on relicensing them
(bgo#787263).
* Tue Aug 22 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.49.91:
+ Deprecation: The private "__name__" property on Lang.Class
instances is now discouraged. Code should not have been using
this anyway, but if it did then it should use the "name"
property on the class (this.__name__ should become
this.constructor.name), which is compatible with ES6 classes.
+ Closed bugs:
- Use ES6 classes (bgo#785652).
- A few fixes for stack traces and error reporting
(bgo#786183).
- /proc/self/stat is read for every frame if GC was not needed
(bgo#786017).
+ Build fix.
* Mon Aug 21 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.49.90:
+ New API: GObject.registerClass(), intended for use with ES6
classes.

+ Can't call exports using top-level variable toString
(bgo#781623).
+ Properties no longer recognized when shadowed by a method
(bgo#785091).
+ Backport of changes required for use with mozjs-55.
- Changes from version 1.49.6:
+ GJS crash in needsPostBarrier, possible access from wrong
thread (bgo#783935).
- Changes from version 1.49.4:
+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 52.
+ New language features
- ES6 classes.
- Async functions and await operator.
- Reflect - built-in object with methods for interceptable
operations.
+ Backwards-incompatible changes
- Non-standard "let expressions" and "let blocks" (e.g.,
`let (x = 5) { use(x) }`) are not supported any longer
- Non-standard flags argument to String.match(),
String.replace(), and String.search() (e.g.
`str.replace('foo', 'bar', 'g')`) is now ignored.
- Non-standard WeakSet.clear() method has been removed.
- Variables declared with let and const are now 'global lexical
bindings', as per the ES6 standard, meaning that they will
not be exported in modules.
+ Closed bugs:
- Prepare for SpiderMonkey 45 and 52 (bgo#781429).
- Add a static analysis tool as a make target (bgo#783214).
- Fix the build with debug logs enabled (bgo#784469).
- Switch to SpiderMonkey 52 (bgo#784196).
- Test suite fails when run with JIT enabled (bgo#616193).
- Replace pkgconfig(mozjs-38) BuildRequires for
pkgconfig(mozjs-52), following upstreams port.
- Add libxml2-tools BuildRequires: new dependency.
* Wed Aug 16 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org

+ Build failure in GNOME Continuous (bgo#783031).
* Wed Aug 16 2017 zaitor@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.49.2:
+ New feature: When building an app with the Package module,
using the Meson build system, you can now run the app with
"ninja run" and all the paths will be set up correctly.
+ New feature: Gio.ListStore is now iterable.
+ New API: Package.requireSymbol(), a companion for the already
existing Package.require(), that not only checks for a GIR
library but also for a symbol defined in that library.
+ New API: Package.checkSymbol(), similar to
Package.requireSymbol() but does not exit if the symbol was not
found. Use this to support older versions of a GIR library with
fallback functionality.
+ New API: System.dumpHeap(), for debugging only. Prints the
state of the JS engine's heap to standard output. Takes an
optional filename parameter which will dump to a file instead
if given.
+ Fixes in preparation for SpiderMonkey 52.
+ Misc fixes.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#775868, bgo#781882, bgo#781882, bgo#782065,
bgo#782069, bgo#779593, bgo#782310, bgo#781219, bgo#780106.

* Wed Feb 15 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 1.47.90:
+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 38.
+ Syntax enhancements.
+ Various API additions.
+ Backwards-incompatible changes:
- It is now a syntax error to declare the same variable twice
with "let" or "const" in the same scope. Existing code may
need to be fixed, but the fix is trivial.

an undefined property, and this causes some false positives.
You can turn this warning off by setting
GJS_DISABLE_EXTRA_WARNINGS=1.
+ When enumerating the importer object (i.e.,
"for (let i in imports) {...}") you will now get the names of
any built-in modules that have previously been imported.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#776966, bgo#777205, bgo#642506, bgo#776549,
bgo#777962.

+ New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on
SpiderMonkey 31, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended
Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 24.

...iterableObj).
- Generator functions: yield, function*, yield*.
- Binary and octal numeric literals: 0b10011100, 0o377.
- Function arguments without defaults can now come after those
with defaults: function f(x=1, y) {}.
+ New standard library module: Intl - Locale-sensitive formatting
and string comparison.
+ New behaviour:
- -0 and +0 are now considered equal as Map keys and Set
values.
- On typed arrays, numerical indexed properties ignore the
prototype object:
Int8Array.prototype[20] = 'foo';(new Int8Array(32))[20] == 0.

- Array comprehensions.
- Generator comprehensions; both were originally proposed for
ES6 but removed.
