Just wanted to give everyone a head's-up about a change that appeared
in Vala 0.23. Previously you could do this in Vala:
uint8[] ar = new uint8[10];
// ... fill ar with interesting bytes ...
process((owned) ar, ar.length);
... where process() takes an array and a length field (sometimes
because an array might have a "filled" count versus it's allocated
length). Before 0.23 the above worked, but now ar.length will be
zeroed out before it's passed to process():

I found a few instances of this pattern in our code and thought others
might want to be alerted about it as well.
