|
| 1 | +Version 1.52.1 |
| 2 | +-------------- |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +- This version has more changes than would normally be expected from a stable |
| 5 | + version. The intention of 1.52.1 is to deliver a version that runs cleaner |
| 6 | + under performance tools, in time for the upcoming GNOME Shell performance |
| 7 | + hackfest. We also wanted to deliver a stable CI pipeline before branching |
| 8 | + GNOME 3.28 off of master. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +- Claudio André's work on the CI pipeline deserves a spotlight. We now have |
| 11 | + test jobs that run linters, sanitizers, Valgrind, and more; the tests are |
| 12 | + run on up-to-date Docker images; and the reliability errors that were plaguing |
| 13 | + the test runs are solved. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- In addition to System.dumpHeap(), you can now dump a heap from a running |
| 16 | + Javascript program by starting it with the environment variable |
| 17 | + GJS_DEBUG_HEAP_OUTPUT=some_name, and sending it SIGUSR1. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- heapgraph.py is a tool in the repository (not installed in distributions) for |
| 20 | + analyzing and graphing heap dumps, to aid with tracking down memory leaks. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- The linter CI jobs will compare your branch against GNOME/gjs@master, and fail |
| 23 | + if your branch added any new linter errors. There may be false positives, and |
| 24 | + the rules configuration is not perfect. If that's the case on your merge |
| 25 | + request, you can skip the appropriate linter job by adding the text |
| 26 | + "[skip (linter)]" in your commit message: e.g., "[skip cpplint]". |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- We welcomed first merge requests from several new contributors for this |
| 29 | + release. |

| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Version 1.52.0 |
| 67 | +-------------- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +- No changes from 1.51.92 except for the continuous integration configuration. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + * Various CI improvements [!84, !85, !86, !87, Claudio André] |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Version 1.51.92 |
| 76 | +--------------- |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + * abort if we are called back in a non-main thread [#75, !72, Philip Chimento] |

| 85 | + |
| 86 | +Version 1.51.91 |
| 87 | +--------------- |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +- Promises now resolve with a higher priority, so asynchronous code should be |
| 90 | + faster. [Jason Hicks] |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | + * New build 'warnings' [#117, !62, !63, Claudio André, Philip Chimento] |
| 95 | + * Various CI maintenance [!64, !65, !66, Claudio André, Philip Chimento] |
| 96 | + * profiler: Don't include alloca.h when disabled [!69, Ting-Wei Lan] |
| 97 | + * GNOME crash with fatal error "Finalizing proxy for an object that's |
| 98 | + scheduled to be unrooted: Gio.Subprocess" in gjs [#26, !70, Philip Chimento] |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Version 1.51.90 |
| 101 | +--------------- |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +- Note that all the old Bugzilla bug reports have been migrated over to GitLab. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +- GJS now, once again, includes a profiler, which outputs files that can be |
| 106 | + read with sysprof. To use it, simply run your program with the environment |
| 107 | + variable GJS_ENABLE_PROFILER=1 set. If your program is a JS script that is |
| 108 | + executed with the interpreter, you can also pass --profile to the |
| 109 | + interpreter. See "gjs --help" for more info. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +- New API: For programs that want more control over when to start and stop |
| 112 | + profiling, there is new API for GjsContext. When you create your GjsContext |
| 113 | + there are two construct-only properties available, "profiler-enabled" and |
| 114 | + "profiler-sigusr2". If you set profiler-sigusr2 to TRUE, then the profiler |
| 115 | + can be started and stopped while the program is running by sending SIGUSR2 to |
| 116 | + the process. You can also use gjs_context_get_profiler(), |
| 117 | + gjs_profiler_set_filename(), gjs_profiler_start(), and gjs_profiler_stop() |
| 118 | + for more explicit control. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +- New API: GObject.signal_connect(), GObject.signal_disconnect(), and |
| 121 | + GObject.signal_emit_by_name() are now available in case a GObject-derived |
| 122 | + class has conflicting connect(), disconnect() or emit() methods. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | + * Handle 0-valued GType gracefully [#11, !10, Philip Chimento] |
| 127 | + * Profiler [#31, !37, Christian Hergert, Philip Chimento] |
| 128 | + * Various maintenance [!40, !59, Philip Chimento, Giovanni Campagna] |
| 129 | + * Rename GObject.Object.connect/disconnect? [#65, !47, Giovanni Campagna] |
| 130 | + * Better debugging output for uncatchable exceptions [!39, Simon McVittie] |
| 131 | + * Update Docker images and various CI maintenance [!54, !56, !57, !58, |
| 132 | + Claudio André] |
| 133 | + * Install GJS suppression file for Valgrind [#2, !55, Philip Chimento] |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +Version 1.50.4 |
| 136 | +-------------- |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | + * Gnome Shell crash with places-status extension when you plug an USB device |
| 141 | + [#33, !38, Philip Chimento] |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +Version 1.50.3 |
| 144 | +-------------- |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +- GJS will now log a warning when a GObject is accessed in Javascript code |
| 147 | + after the underlying object has been freed in C. (This used to work most of |
| 148 | + the time, but crash unpredictably.) We now prevent this situation which, is |
| 149 | + usually caused by a memory management bug in the underlying C library. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | + * Add checks for GObjects that have been finalized [#21, #23, !25, !28, !33, |
| 154 | + Marco Trevisan] |
| 155 | + * Test "Cairo context has methods when created from a C function" fails [#27, |
| 156 | + !35, Valentín Barros] |
| 157 | + * Various fixes from the master branch for rare crashes [Philip Chimento] |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Version 1.51.4 |
| 160 | +-------------- |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +- We welcomed code and documentation from several new contributors in this |
| 163 | + release! |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +- GJS will now log a warning when a GObject is accessed in Javascript code |
| 166 | + after the underlying object has been freed in C. (This used to work most of |
| 167 | + the time, but crash unpredictably.) We now prevent this situation which, is |
| 168 | + usually caused by a memory management bug in the underlying C library. |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +- APIs exposed through GObject Introspection that use the GdkAtom type are now |
| 171 | + usable from Javascript. Previously these did not work. On the Javascript side, |
| 172 | + a GdkAtom translates to a string, so there is no Gdk.Atom type that you can |
| 173 | + access. The special atom GDK_NONE translates to null in Javascript, and there |
| 174 | + is also no Gdk.NONE constant. |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +- The GitLab CI tasks have continued to gradually become more and more |
| 177 | + sophisticated. |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | + * Add checks for GObjects that have been finalized [#21, #23, !22, !27, Marco |
| 182 | + Trevisan] |
| 183 | + * Fail static analyzer if new warnings are found [!24, Claudio André] |
| 184 | + * Run code coverage on GitLab [!20, Claudio André] |
| 185 | + * Amend gtk.js and add gtk-application.js with suggestion [!32, Andy Holmes] |
| 186 | + * Improve GdkAtom support that is blocking clipboard APIs [#14, !29, makepost] |
| 187 | + * Test "Cairo context has methods when created from a C function" fails [#27, |
| 188 | + !35, Valentín Barros] |
| 189 | + * Various CI improvements [#6, !26, !34, Claudio André] |
| 190 | + * Various maintenance [!23, !36, Philip Chimento] |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +Version 1.51.3 |
| 193 | +-------------- |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +- This release was made from an earlier state of master, before a breaking |
| 196 | + change was merged, while we decide whether to revert that change or not. |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | + * CI improvements on GitLab [!14, !15, !19, Claudio André] |
| 201 | + * Fix CI build on Ubuntu [#16, !18, !21, Claudio André, Philip Chimento] |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +Version 1.51.2 |
| 204 | +-------------- |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +- Version 1.51.1 was skipped. |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +- The home of GJS is now at GNOME's GitLab instance: |
| 209 | + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs |
| 210 | + From now on we'll be taking GitLab merge requests instead of Bugzilla |
| 211 | + patches. If you want to report a bug, please report it at GitLab. |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +- Closed bugs and merge requests: |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | + * Allow throwing GErrors from JS virtual functions [#682701, Giovanni |
| 216 | + Campagna] |
| 217 | + * [RFC] bootstrap system [#777724, Jasper St. Pierre, Philip Chimento] |
| 218 | + * Fix code coverage (and refactor it to take advantage of mozjs52 features) |
| 219 | + [#788166, !1, !3, Philip Chimento] |
| 220 | + * Various maintenance [!2, Philip Chimento] |
| 221 | + * Get GitLab CI working and various improvements [#6, !7, !9, !11, !13, |
