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.

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] * Private Objects: Use native allocators and structs [!494, Marco Trevisan] * Pass-by-reference GValue arguments do not work right [#74, !496, !507, Marco Trevisan] * Templated-data-only GjsAutoPointer (and use it more around) [!504, Marco Trevisan] * Error in function "_init()" in module "modules/overrides/GObject.js" [#238, !508, Nina Pypchenko] * fails to build on 32-bit [#357, !511, Michael Catanzaro] * Revert "arg-cache: Save space by not caching GType" [!512, Jonas Dreßler] * gi/wrapperutils: Move gjs_get_string_id() into resolve() implementations [!513, Jonas Dreßler] * updates on eslint configuration [!517, Nasah Kuma] * Update CONTRIBUTING.md about the runner system failure [!518, Nasah Kuma] * Switch to eslint-plugin-jsdoc and remove lint-condo [!520, #359, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento] * gi: Check property before access [!521, Florian Müllner] * testGIMarshalling: Actually run the GPtrArray utf8 tests [!522, Marco Trevisan] * Add more documents for "imports" and "imports.gi" [!526, wsgalaxy] * overrides/Gtk: Set BuilderScope in class init [!527, Florian Müllner] * gi/arg-cache: Only skip array length parameter once [!528, Florian Müllner] * Copyright conformance with Reuse Software spec [!529, Philip Chimento, Evan Welsh] * Remove JSClass macros [!530, !533, !537, Philip Chimento] * Avoid pulling from DockerHub in CI [!531, Philip Chimento, Marco Trevisan] * Use GNOME-specific rules with cppcheck [!532, Philip Chimento] * Fedora 33 CI images [!535, Philip Chimento] * Fix IWYU bugs [!536, Philip Chimento] * Reduce bandwidth usage in CI, and pick a more accurate base for diff checks [!538, Philip Chimento] * debugger: Make '$$' mean the last value [!539, Philip Chimento] * Add codespell CI job [#362, !540, !541, !547, Björn Daase] * Various maintenance [!542, !548, Philip Chimento] * fix readline build on certain systems [!543, Jakub Kulík] * build: Require gobject-introspection 1.66.0 [!546, Philip Chimento] * Add backtrace full command to debugger [#208, !550, Nasah Kuma] - Various refactors for type safety [Marco Trevisan] - Various maintenance [Philip Chimento] -

1.65.90
Version 1.65.90 - GJS now has an optional, Linux-only, dependency on libsysprof-capture-4 instead of libsysprof-capture-3 for the profiler functionality. - New API: gjs_coverage_enable() allows the collection of code coverage metrics. If you are using GjsCoverage, it is now required to call gjs_coverage_enable() before you create the first GjsContext. Previously this was not necessary, but due to changes in SpiderMonkey 78 you must now indicate in advance if you want to collect code coverage metrics. - New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 78, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 68. Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features. For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io. * New language features + A new regular expression engine, supporting lookbehind and named capture groups, among other things * New syntax + The ?? operator ("nullish coalescing operator") is now supported + The ?. operator ("optional chaining operator") is now supported + Public static class fields are now supported + Separators in numeric literals are now supported: for example, 1_000_000 * New APIs + String.replaceAll() for replacing all instances of a string inside another string + Promise.allSettled() for awaiting until all Promises in an array have either fulfilled or rejected + Intl.Locale + Intl.ListFormat + Intl.RelativeTimeFormat.formatToParts() * New behaviour + 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/69#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/70#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/71#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/72#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/73#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/74#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/75#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/76#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/77#JavaScript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/78#JavaScript * Backwards-incompatible changes + The Object.toSource() method has been removed + The uneval() global function has been removed + A leading zero is now never allowed for BigInt literals, making 08n and 09n invalid similar to the existing error when legacy octal numbers like 07n are used + The Function.caller property now has the value of null if the caller is a strict, async, or generator function, instead of throwing a TypeError - Backwards-incompatible change: Paths specified on the command line with the --coverage-prefix argument, are now always interpreted as paths. If they are relative paths, they will be resolved relative to the current working directory. In previous versions, they would be treated as string prefixes, which led to unexpected behaviour when the path of the script was absolute and the coverage prefix relative, or vice versa. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * Port to libsysprof-capture-4.a [!457, Philip Withnall, Philip Chimento] * CI: Switch ASAN jobs to runners tagged so [!461, Bartłomiej Piotrowski] * Rework global code to support multiple global "types".

1.65.2
Version 1.65.2 - It's now possible to omit the getter and setter for a GObject property on your class, if you only need the default behaviour (reading and writing the property, respecting the default value if not set, and implementing property notifications if the setter changes the value.) This should cut down on boilerplate code and any mistakes made in it. - The log level of exception messages has changed. Previously, some exceptions would be logged as critical-level messages even when they were logged intentionally with logError(). Now, critical-level messages are only logged when an exception goes uncaught (programmer error) and in all other cases a warning-level message is logged. - Closed bugs and merge requests: * build: Use '!=' instead of 'is not' to compare string [Robert Mader, !414] * Various maintenance [Philip Chimento, !413, !425] * doc fixes [Sonny Piers, !415, !416] * jsapi-util: Make log levels of exceptions consistent [Philip Chimento, !418] * Too much recursion error accessing overrided gobject interface property from a subclass [Philip Chimento, #306, !408] * JS: migrate from the global `window` to `globalThis` [Andy Holmes, !423] * doc: Fix a typo [Matthew Leeds, !424] -
