Version 0.3 (03-Jul-2009)
------------------------- Changes: - DBus support At a high level there are three pieces. First, the "gjs-dbus" library is a C support library for DBus. Second, the modules/dbus*.[ch] implement parts of the JavaScript API in C. Third, the modules/dbus.js file fills out the rest of the JavaScript API and implementation. - Support simple fields for boxed types - Support "copy construction" of boxed types - Support simple structures not registered as boxed - Allow access to nested structures - Allow direct assignment to nested structure fields - Allow enum and flag structure fields - Allow creating boxed wrapper without copy - Support for non-default constructor (i.e. constructors like GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file(file)) - Add a Lang.bind function which binds the meaning of 'this' - Add an interactive console gjs-console - Allow code in directory modules (i.e. the code should reside in __init__.js files) - Fix handling of enum/flags return values - Handle non-gobject-registered flags - Add Tweener.registerSpecialProperty to tweener module - Add profiler for javascript code - Add gjs_context_get_all and gjs_dumpstack - useful to invoke from a debugger such as gdb - Support GHashTable - GHashTable return values/out parameters - Support GHashTable 'in' parameters - Convert JSON-style object to a GHashTable - Add support for UNIX shebang (i.e. #!/usr/bin/gjs-console) - Support new introspection short/ushort type tags - Support GI_TYPE_TAG_FILENAME - Improve support for machine-dependent integer types and arrays of integers - Fix several memory leaks Contributors: Colin Walters, C.
