'''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]

'''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

* 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.

Chimento]
