+  + Add more tests for GI marshalling
+  + Update regression test suite

+- Adapt split_name_version2 function to deal with possible argument
+  containing "pkg.require({" string before the wanted module name
+  (a case from a JS script from gnome-weather). This is a side
+  effect from the previous change to the pcre2grep regex in the
+  javascript_pkg_requires function. Now, AWK should strip this
+  string with the help of a sub() function call with the ^.*{
+  regex.

+Sun May 21 03:02:12 UTC 2023 - Luciano Santos <luc14n0@opensuse.org>
+
+- Amend gi-find-deps.sh's javascript_pkg_requires function to
+  extend GREP's filtering by passing the extended regex option flag
+  (-E) and appending ? to the first two single quotes, accounting
+  for quoted AND unquoted names before the colon. This should
+  ensure that typelib() symbols provisioning are versioned where in
+  some previous cases they weren't, but should've, causing a
+  different version than the needed to be pulled. Those changes
+  address the case where Sushi was requiring only
+  typelib(GtkSource), rather than typelib(GtkSource) = 4. And
+  without something else, in a default installation of openSUSE
+  Tumbleweed, pulling in typelib-1_0-GtkSource-4, Sushi would fail
+  to present previews in Nautilus (boo#1211546).
