1.73.2
Version 1.73.2 - New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 102, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 91. Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features. For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io. * New APIs + The `Object.hasOwn()` static method can be used as an easier replacement for `Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(...)`. + `Intl.supportedValuesOf()` lets you enumerate which calendars, currencies, collation strategies, numbering systems, time zones, and units are available for internationalization. - It's now possible to use `GObject.BindingGroup.prototype.bind_full()` with JS functions. Previously this method was unusable in JS. - Gio.FileEnumerator is now iterable, both synchronously (with for-of or array spread syntax) and asynchronously (with for-await-of). - Performance improvements in the built-in `imports.signals` module. - Many improvements to the examples and documentation. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * Spidermonkey 102 [#487, !765, !785, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento] * Object connections / signal emissions optimizations [#485, !758, Marco Trevisan] * tests/Gio: Cleanup Gio._promisify [!767, Marco Trevisan] * Include JUnit reports in builds [!768, Marco Trevisan] * Integrate pretty print to the debugger [!769, Nasah Kuma] * doc: Edit GJS description [!771, Sonny Piers] * doc: note the version `constructor()` became supported [!774, Andy Holmes] * build: disable sysprof agent for subproject fallback [!775, Christian Hergert] * Update CI images [!776, !777, !778, Philip Chimento] * GListModel.get_n_items returns garbage value [#493, !779, Florian Müllner] * Add override for g_binding_group_bind_full() [!780, Florian Müllner] * doc: Modernize examples [!781, Sonny Piers] * doc: Document byteArray deprecation and migration [!782, Sonny Piers] * doc: add simple Gtk.TickCallback example [!783, Andy Holmes] * Make GFileEnumerator iterable and async iterable [!784, Sonny Piers] -

1.73.1
Version 1.73.1 - The interactive interpreter now displays its output more intelligently, pretty-printing the properties and values of objects based on their type. This improvement also applies to the log() and logError() functions. - New API: DBus proxy classes now include methods named with the suffix 'Async', which perform async calls to DBus APIs and return Promises. This is in addition to the existing suffixes 'Sync' (for blocking calls) and 'Remote' (for async calls with callbacks.) - There is an override for Gio.ActionMap.prototype.add_action_entries(). Previously this method wouldn't work because it required an array of Gio.ActionEntry objects, which are not possible to construct in GJS. Now it can be used with an array of plain objects. (e.g. `this.add_action_entries([{name: 'open', activate() { ... }}]);` - GJS is now compatible with libffi 3.4.2 and later. All earlier versions of GJS are not compatible with libffi 3.4.2 and later unless libffi is built with the --disable-exec-static-tramp flag. - GJS now requires Meson 0.54 to build. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * Verbose Object Print Output [#107, !587, Nasah Kuma] * Add support for JS async calls in DBusProxyWrapper [!731, Sergio Costas] * Crash after build against libffi 3.4.2 [#428, !737, Evan Welsh] * Handle reference cycles in new console pretty print function [#469, !739, Nasah Kuma] * Gnome-Shell 42 - crash after login (general protection fault) [#479, !740, Xi Ruoyao] * Various maintenance [!741, Philip Chimento] * jsapi-util-strings: Ignore locale to compute the upper case of a char (i.e. fix implicit properties on Turkish locale) [!742, Marco Trevisan] * Dockerfile: Install Turkish locale in CI for UTF-8 locale too [!743, Marco Trevisan] * Improve pretty-print output for GObject-introspected objects [#476, !744, Nasah Kuma] * Expose pretty print function to tests [!745, Nasah Kuma] * build: track changes to Sysprof meson options [!747, Christian Hergert] * Make Gio.ActionMap.add_action_entries work [#407, !749, Sonny Piers] * Make DBus session and system props non-enumerable [!750, Sonny Piers] * gi/arg-inl: Mark the arg functions as constexpr [!752, Marco Trevisan] * build: Do not use verbose GJS debug logging in tests by default [!753, Marco Trevisan] * minijasmine: Print test JS errors output if any [!754, Marco Trevisan] * doc: document the existence of the console object in GJS [!759, Andy Holmes] * arg-cache: Use a switch to select the not-introspectable error [!762, Marco Trevisan] * log_set_writer_func is not safe to use [#481, !766, Evan Welsh] -

1.71.1
Version 1.71.1 - New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 91, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 78. Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features. For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io. * New syntax + Private class fields and methods are now supported. They start with `#` and are not accessible outside the class in which they are defined. + The `??=` logical nullish assignment operator, which assigns the right-hand side value to the left-hand side variable if the variable is null or undefined. + The `&&=` logical-and assignment operator, which assigns the right-hand side value to the left-hand side variable if the variable is truthy. + The `||=` logical-or assignment operator, which assigns the right-hand side value to the left-hand side variable if the variable is falsey. + `export * as ... from ...` can be used to aggregate modules. + Regular expressions add the `d` flag, which if defined causes the resulting match object to have an `indices` property giving the positions in the string where capturing and named groups matched. + `static { ... }` blocks in classes allow initialization of classes at the time of creation of the class. * New APIs + Arrays, strings, and typed arrays have gained the `at()` method, which does the same thing as indexing with square brackets but also allows negative numbers, which count from the end, as in Python. + `Promise.any()`, which is similar to `Promise.race()` but resolves on the first successful sub-promise, instead of the first to resolve. + `Error()` now takes an options object as its second parameter, which may contain a `cause` property. This option is used to indicate when an error is caused by another error, but the first error is caught during error handling. + `WeakRef`, which allows you to hold a reference to an object while still allowing it to be garbage collected. + `dateStyle`, `timeStyle`, `fractionalSecondDigits`, and `dayPeriod` are now accepted as options in `Intl.DateTimeFormat()` and `Date.prototype.toLocaleString()`. + `collation` is now accepted as an option in `Intl.Collator()`. + `Intl.DisplayNames` has been added, which allows you to get translations of language, region, currency, and script names. + `Intl.DateTimeFormat` has gained the `formatRange()` and `formatRangeToParts()` methods. * New behaviour + More numbering systems are supported in `Intl.NumberFormat`. + Top-level await (https://v8.dev/features/top-level-await) allows you to use `await` statements outside of an `async` function in an ES module. + There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS implementation conforms ever closer to existing ECMAScript standards and adopts new ones. For complete information, read the Firefox developer release notes: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/79#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/80#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/81#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/82#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/83#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/84#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/85#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/86#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/87#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/88#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/89#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/90#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/91#JavaScript - It's now possible to pass BigInt values to GObject-introspected functions with 64-bit parameters. This way, you can finally work with large numbers that cannot be accurately stored as a JS Number value and pass them correctly into C. For example, `GLib.Variant.new_int64(2n ** 62n)`. - New API: GJS now has a standards-compliant `setTimeout()` and `setInterval()`. These can now be used as in web browsers, while still integrating with GLib's main loop. - New API: `Cairo.Context.prototype.textExtents()` which makes the `cairo_text_extents()` C function available to JavaScript. - New overrides: `GLib.MAXINT64_BIGINT`, `GLib.MININT64_BIGINT`, and `GLib.MAXUINT64_BIGINT` are BigInt-typed versions of `GLib.MAXINT64` etc. - It's now possible to use a regular `constructor()` in GObject classes instead of an `_init()` method. - It's now possible to use class fields in GObject classes. - `Gio._promisify()` now tries to guess the name of the finish function, if it is omitted. - It's now possible to monkeypatch methods on the prototype of a GObject interface. The most common use case for this is probably promisifying methods on `Gio.File`, so you can now do things like `Gio._promisify(Gio.File.prototype, 'read_async')` without resorting to the `Gio._LocalFilePrototype` workaround. - GObject interfaces are now enumerable, so you can now do things like `Object.keys(Gio.File.prototype)` and get a list of the methods, like you can with other GObject types. - Improvements to the performance of promises, making them more predictable under higher load. - Several performance and type-safety improvements. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * [Mainloop 1/3] Add custom GSource for promise queueing [#1, !557, Evan Welsh, Marco Trevisan] * Upgrade to SpiderMonkey 91 [#413, !632, !687, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento, Chun-wei Fan] * Promise rejections from signal handlers are silent [#417, !632, Philip Chimento] * Add a binding for GObject.Object.new [#48, !664, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento] * Object resolve should consider prototypes of GObject interfaces [#189, !665, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento] * File corruption on file.replace_contents_async [#192, !665, Evan Welsh] * Overriding inherited interface vfuncs clobbers base class implementation [#89, !671, Evan Welsh] * Errors in __init__.js are silenced [#343, !672, Evan Welsh] * Allocate structs which contain pointers [!674, Evan Welsh] * [Mainloop 3/3] WHATWG Timers [!677, Evan Welsh] * [Mainloop 2/3] Implement "implicit" mainloop which only blocks on unresolved imports [!678, Evan Welsh] * Correctly chain constructor prototypes to enable static inheritance [!679, Evan Welsh] * Upgrade CI to Fedora 34 [!683, !684, Philip Chimento] * Various maintenance [!685, !691, !709, !719, Philip Chimento] * doc: Add Junction to applications written in GJS [!688, Sonny Piers] * C++ argument cache [!689, Marco Trevisan, Philip Chimento] * Gio: Make _promisify to guess the finish function by default [!692, Marco Trevisan] * Fails to build with Meson 0.60.2 [#446, !694, !705, Jan Beich, Eli Schwartz] * doc: Add Oh My SVG to standalone applications [!695, Sonny Piers] * ci: Ensure forever callbacks do not leak [!698, Evan Welsh] * gi: Refactor resolving prototypes in GIWrapperInstance constructors [!699, Evan Welsh] * Class fields don't work with GObject classes [#331, !700, Evan Welsh] * gi: Add enumeration hook for Interface prototypes [!701, Evan Welsh] * Fix Visual Studio builds on master [!706, Chun-wei Fan] * tools: Add iwyu-tool as a binary name for iwyu [!707, Evan Welsh] * gi: Allow GObject.Value boxed type in nested contexts [!708, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento] * Implemented check for null out-params in some functions in context.cpp [!710, Nasah Kuma] * Broken links on the doc/Home.md file [#458, !711, Andy Holmes] * Accept BigInt values as input for 64-bit parameters to introspected functions [!712, Marco Trevisan, Philip Chimento] * Enable top-level await [!713, Evan Welsh] * modules: Remove double '//' from internal module URIs [!714, Evan Welsh] * modules: Ensure ImportError is an instance of globalThis.Error [!715, Evan Welsh] * global: Enable WeakRefs [!716, Evan Welsh] * global: Enable static class blocks [!717, Evan Welsh] * overrides: Allow users to implement construct-only props with getters [!718, Evan Welsh] * cairo: Add binding for cairo_text_extents() [!720, Philip Chimento] * Non-integer numbers can not be converted to (u)int64 [#459, !721, Philip Chimento] * Print error cause when logging an error [#454, !722, Philip Chimento] * GtkCustomSorter callbacks receives undefined params [#460, !723, Philip Chimento] -

1.69.2
Version 1.69.2 - The TextEncoder and TextDecoder global objects are now available. In most cases, these will be able to replace usage of the imports.byteArray module. We recommend that new code use TextEncoder and TextDecoder to convert strings to UTF-8 encoded Uint8Arrays and vice versa. MDN is a good source of information on how to use these APIs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextEncoder https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder - The 'console' global object is now available. This is for compatibility with Node.js and browser environments, and for familiarity for developers accustomed to them. The previously existing print(), printerr(), log(), logError() functions continue to exist, and are not deprecated. The console methods use GLib structured logging as their backend. - Cairo.Surface has gained getDeviceScale(), setDeviceScale(), getDeviceOffset(), and setDeviceOffset() methods. These wrap the corresponding C functions. - GLib.log_set_writer_func() and GObject.Object.bind_property_full() now work. Previously, they had introspection problems. - There is also a 'console' built-in module which exports functions setConsoleLogDomain() and getConsoleLogDomain(), for controlling the GLib log domain that the console methods use. - The debugger has gained a 'set ignoreCaughtExceptions (true/false)' option. Previously, when an exception was thrown, the debugger would stop, even if the exception was thrown intentionally in order to be caught. With this option, which is now the default, the debugger will keep going on exceptions that are thrown while inside the scope of a try-catch block. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * Implement WHATWG Encoding specification. [!534, Evan Welsh] * cairo-surface: Add setDevice{Offset,Scale} functions [!605, Daniel van Vugt, Philip Chimento] * WHATWG Console Implementation [!634, Evan Welsh] * Add support for GLib.log_set_writer_func [!637, Evan Welsh] * Various maintenance [!649, Philip Chimento] * examples: improve the gettext example [!651, Sonny Piers] * Unable to use bind_property_full [#241, !653, Florian Müllner] * Allow continuing for handled exceptions [#431, !655, Florian Müllner] * text-encoding.cpp: Fix builds on 64-bit Windows [!656, Chun-wei Fan] -
