Version 1.75.2
--------------

- There are new `Gio.Application.prototype.runAsync()` and
  `GLib.MainLoop.prototype.runAsync()` methods which do the same thing as
  `run()` but return a Promise which resolves when the main loop ends, instead
  of blocking while the main loop runs. Use one of these methods (by awaiting
  it) if you use async operations with Promises in your application. Previously,
  it was easy to get into a state where Promises never resolved if you didn't
  run the main loop inside a callback. [Evan Welsh]

- There are new `Gio.InputStream.prototype.createSyncIterator()` and
  `Gio.InputStream.prototype.createAsyncIterator()` methods which allow easy
  iteration of input streams in consecutive chunks of bytes, either with a
  for-of loop or a for-await-of loop. [Sonny Piers]

- DBus proxy wrapper classes now have a static `newAsync()` method, which
  returns a Promise that resolves to an instance of the proxy wrapper class on
  which `initAsync()` has completed. [Marco Trevisan]

- DBus property getters can now return GLib.Variant instances directly, if they
  have the correct type, instead of returning JS values and having them be
  packed into GLib.Variants. [Andy Holmes]

- Dramatic performance improvements in the legacy `imports.signals` module,
  which has also gained a `connectAfter()` method that works like the same-named
  method in GObject signals. (However, the signals module remains legacy, and is
  mostly there for historical reasons with GNOME Shell. Don't use it in new
  code.) [Marco Trevisan]

- For years we have had a typo in `Cairo.LineCap.SQUARE`, incorrectly naming it
  `SQUASH`. This is fixed and the typoed name is retained as an alias. [Vítor
  Vasconcellos]

- Also in Cairo, the value of `Cairo.Format.RGB16_565` was wrong. This was fixed
  with a breaking change, because anyone using it was probably already not
  getting the results they expected. [Vítor Vasconcellos]

- Continuing the Cairo improvements, SVG surfaces have gained
  `Cairo.SVGSurface.prototype.finish()` and `Cairo.SVGSurface.prototype.flush()`
  because previously SVG surfaces were only written to disk when the SVGSurface
  object was garbage collected, making it uncertain to rely on them. [tuberry]

- The debugger now handles Symbol values and Symbol property keys of objects.
  Previously, these were not displayed correctly. [Philip Chimento]

- Various type-safety refactors [Marco Trevisan]

- Many bug fixes and performance improvements.

Version 1.72.3
--------------

- Fix for crash after build against libffi 3.4.2 ported from the development
  branch.

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]

Version 1.72.2
--------------

- Various fixes ported from the development branch.

- Closed bugs and merge requests:
  * gi/arg-cache.cpp: Fix building on Visual Studio [!772, Chun-wei Fan]
  * doc: Reflect support for constructor with GObject [!773, Sonny Piers]

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]

  * 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]

    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]

    function [!746, msizanoen1]
  * arg-cache: Do not leak an interface info structures on Callbacks [!751,
    Marco Trevisan]

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/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.

- Build fixes [Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento]

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.

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]

- Various refactors in preparation for BigInt support in gobject-introspection
  [Marco Trevisan]

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.
