@@ -1,3 +1,50 @@ +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] + Version 1.68.3 -------------- |
