1.57.4
Version 1.57.4 - Closed bugs and merge requests: * gjs 1.57 requires a recent sysprof version for sysprof-capture-3 [#258, !309, Olivier Fourdan] - Misc documentation changes [Philip Chimento] -
1.57.3
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 [#253, !300, Philip Chimento] * build: Bump glib requirement [!302, Florian Müllner] * profiler: avoid clearing 512 bytes of stack [!304, Christian Hergert] * system: add addressOfGObject method [!296, Marco Trevisan] * Add support for GJS_TRACE_FD [!295, Christian Hergert] * Gio: Make possible to pass DBusProxyFlags to proxy wrapper [!297, Marco Trevisan] * Various maintenance [!301, Philip Chimento] * Marshalling of GPtrArray broken [#9, !307, Stéphane Seng] * Build fix [!308, Philip Chimento] * Gio: sync dbus wrapper properties flags [!298, Marco Trevisan] * GjsMaybeOwned: Reduce allocation when used as Object member [!303, Marco Trevisan] -
1.57.2
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 [#230, !288, Andy Holmes] * Support optional GTypeFlags value in GObject subclasses [!290, Florian Müllner] * Ensure const-correctness in C++ objects [#105, !291, Onur Şahin] * Programmer errors with GSettings cause segfaults [#205, !284, Philip Chimento] * Various maintenance [!292, Philip Chimento] * debugger: Fix summary help [!293, Florian Müllner] * context: Use Heap pointers for GC objects stored in vectors [!294, Philip Chimento] -

1.55.92
Version 1.55.92 - Closed bugs and merge requests: * Fix CI failures [!269, Philip Chimento] * Possible memory allocation/deallocation bug (possibly in js_free() in GJS) [!270, Chun-wei Fan, Philip Chimento] * cairo-context: Special-case 0-sized vector [!271, Florian Müllner] * Add some more eslint rules [!272, Florian Müllner] * win32/NMake: Fix introspection builds [!274, Chun-wei Fan] * NMake/libgjs-private: Export all the public symbols there [!275, Chun-wei Fan] -
1.55.91
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 [#223, !266, Philip Chimento] * Various maintenance [!267, Philip Chimento] * wrapperutils: Define $gtype property as non-enumerable [!268, Philip Chimento] -
1.55.90
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() [#204, !263, Philip Chimento] * Add regression tests for GObject vfuncs [!259, Jason Hicks] * GjsPrivate: Sources should be C files [!262, Philip Chimento] * build: Vendor last-good version of AX_CODE_COVERAGE [!264, Philip Chimento] -

1.52.5
Version 1.52.5 - This release includes the "Big Hammer" patch from GNOME 3.30 to reduce memory usage. For more information, read the blog post at https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/ It was not originally intended to be backported to GNOME 3.28, but in practice several Linux distributions already backported it, and it has been working well to reduce memory usage, and the bugs have been ironed out of it. It does decrease performance somewhat, so if you don't want that then don't install this update. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * Ensure not to miss the force_gc flag [#150, !132, Carlos Garnacho] * Make GC much more aggressive [#62, !50, Giovanni Campagna, Georges Basile Stavracas Neto, Philip Chimento] * Queue GC when a GObject reference is toggled down [#140, !114, !127, Georges Basile Stavracas Neto] * Reduce memory overhead of g_object_weak_ref() [#144, !122, Carlos Garnacho, Philip Chimento] * context: Defer and therefore batch forced GC runs [performance] [!236, Daniel van Vugt] * context: use timeout with seconds to schedule a gc trigger [!239, Marco Trevisan] * Use compacting GC on RSS size growth [!133, #151, Carlos Garnacho] * GType memleak fixes [!244, Marco Trevisan] -
