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. + +- Closed bugs and merge requests: + * Promises in application.run do not fullfil until loop exit [#468, !732, Evan + Welsh] + * console: Various cleanups to tracing functions and increase structured + logging metadata [!756, Marco Trevisan] + * Legacy signals code optimizations [!757, Marco Trevisan] + * meson: Depend on g-i 1.71 and enable newly supported tests [!761, Marco + Trevisan] + * Gio: Add support for initializing a DBus Proxy via a promise [#494, !794, + Marco Trevisan, Philip Chimento] + * Make GInputStream iterable and async iterable [!573, !797, Sonny Piers] + * Gio: allow D-Bus implementations to return pre-packed variants [!796, Andy + Holmes] + * Update ESLint tooling [!798, Sonny Piers] + * Various maintenance [!804, !814, !820, Philip Chimento] + * Add legacy signals connectAfter method [!805, Marco Trevisan] + * arg-cache: Add support passing caller-allocated C-arrays [!806, Marco + Trevisan] + * Crash when passing an introspected function as a callback argument [#518, + !809, Philip Chimento] + * CI: Upgrade CI images to F37 [!810, Philip Chimento] + * Possible errors in cairo enums [#516, !811, Vítor Vasconcellos] + * ci: Only run source check jobs if relevant files have been changed [!812, + Marco Trevisan] + * cairo.SVGSurface need finish() and flush() to finalize painting [#515, !816, + tuberry] + * signals: Fix bugs when multiple handlers are connected and disconnect is + called [!818, Evan Welsh] + * Handle Symbol values in pretty-printer and debugger [!819, Philip Chimento] + Version 1.74.2 -------------- |
