+ Various maintenance
+ Add type checking job
+ Write g-i regression tests for flags and enum values with gaps
- Update to version 1.83.4 (Unstable):
+ The gjs-console REPL is now asynchronous. You can, for example,
create a window with a button, connect a signal handler, click
the button, and the signal handler will run when the button is
clicked. Previously, the signal handler wouldn't run because it
was blocked by the console waiting for input. This doesn't yet
make `await` work in the console, but it is a prerequisite.
+ Usually for C APIs that use GValue, GJS transparently
substitutes native JS values. However, in some cases you need
to use the GObject.Value wrapper in JS. There is now a new API
to construct GObject.Value. Instead of constructing an empty
Value object, calling `init()` with the type, and then
`set_...` to fill it, you can now do it in one: `new
GObject.Value(String, 'a string')`. (The old way still works.)
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- interactive interpreter + mainloop
- object: Add support for static virtual functions
- "%Id" support in format strings for alternative digits
disabled due to error in detection at configure/build time
- null-prototype objects should be pretty-printed less
confusingly
- Missing property with gjs 1.83.2
- arg-types-inl: Replace `<T, TAG>` pairs with a single TAG
- Introduce simpler override for GObject.Value
- Use Meson 1.4 and full_path() feature
- Update gobject-introspection-tests
- Update to version 1.83.2 (Unstable):
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- profiler: only build dynamic string for profiler label if
profiling
- object: Fix missing static_type_name template parameter
- Disable meson_test, OK while we are in unstable branch.
- Update to version 1.83.1 (Unstable):
+ GJS now supports source maps. If you use build tools such as
TypeScript for source code transformation, you can ship source
map files alongside your built JS files and make sure your
build tool adds the magic source map comment. You will then get
the original source locations printed in stack traces and in
the debugger.
+ In the interactive interpreter (gjs-console), command history
is now saved between runs. You can set the environment variable
GJS_REPL_HISTORY to save the command history to a custom file,
or set it to an empty string to switch this feature off.
+ The debugger now supports examining private fields.
+ Some performance and memory usage improvements around calling
GNOME platform functions and accessing properties of GNOME
platform objects.
+ Backwards-incompatible change: Gettext.setlocale() now only
affects the locale of the current thread. This will not affect
your JS code, but it may affect your app if you use a C library
with worker threads and you relied on being able to set the
locale in those worker threads from JS.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Rewrite arguments cache using C++ inheritance
- package: Try to load resource module name if available
- object, args-cache: Improve performance with properties basic
types
- Use property accessors and setters directly
- gjs-util: make gjs_setlocale thread-safe
- Support Source Maps
- Fix return value of load_contents_async
- Various maintenance
- Add history support to REPL
- Some prep for type safety refactors

- ci: Switch to GNOME GitLab mirror of ci-templates
- Connecting to signal of a GstElement errors with "too much
recursion"
- Update to use GNOME Release Service
- Enable inspecting symbol properties and private fields in the
debugger

- Update to version 3.32.0:
+ Stable release version bump.
- Update to version 1.55.92:
+ Possible memory allocation/deallocation bug (possibly in
js_free() in GJS).
+ cairo-context: Special-case 0-sized vector.
+ Add some more eslint rules.
+ NMake/libgjs-private: Export all the public symbols there.
- Update to version 1.55.91:
+ The problem of freezing while running the tests using GCC's
sanitizers was determined to be a bug in GCC, which was fixed
in GCC 9.0.1.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- gnome-sound-recorder crashes deep inside libgjs.
- Various maintenance.
- wrapperutils: Define $gtype property as non-enumerable.
- Update to version 1.55.90:
+ New JS API: It's now possible to call and implement DBus
methods whose parameters or return types include file
descriptor lists (type signature 'h'). This involves passing or
receiving a Gio.UnixFDList instance along with the parameters
or return values.
+ To call a method with a file descriptor list, pass the
Gio.UnixFDList along with the rest of the parameters, in any
order, the same way you would pass a Gio.Cancellable or async
callback.
+ For return values, things are a little more complicated, in
order to avoid breaking existing code. Previously,
synchronously called DBus proxy methods would return an
unpacked GVariant. Now, but only if called with a
Gio.UnixFDList, they will return [unpacked GVariant,
Gio.UnixFDList]. This does not break existing code because it
was not possible to call a method with a Gio.UnixFDList before,
and the return value is unchanged if not calling with a
Gio.UnixFDList. This does mean, unfortunately, that if you have
a method with an 'h' in its return signature but not in its
argument signatures, you will have to call it with an empty
FDList in order to receive an FDList with the return value,
when calling synchronously.
+ On the DBus service side, when receiving a method call, we now
pass the Gio.UnixFDList received from DBus to the called
method. Previously, sync methods were passed the parameters,
and async methods were passed the parameters plus the
Gio.DBusInvocation object. Appending the Gio.UnixFDList to
those parameters also should not break existing code.
+ See the new tests in installed-tests/js/testGDBus.js for
examples of calling methods with FD lists.
+ We have observed on the CI server that GJS 1.55.90 will hang
forever while running the test suite compiled with GCC 9.0.0
and configured with the --enable-asan and --enable-ubsan
arguments. This should be addressed in one of the following
1.55.x releases.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- GDBus proxy overrides should support
Gio.DBusProxy.call_with_unix_fd_list().
- Add regression tests for GObject vfuncs.
- GjsPrivate: Sources should be C files.
- build: Vendor last-good version of AX_CODE_COVERAGE.
- Update to version 1.55.4:
+ Various maintenance.
+ Boxed copy constructor should not be called, split Boxed into
prototype and instance structs.
- Update to version 1.55.3:
+ Manually constructed ByteArray toString segfaults.
+ signals: Add _signalHandlerIsConnected method.
+ Various maintenance.
- Changes from version 1.55.2:
+ Gnome-shell crashes on destroying cached param specs.
+ Various maintenance.
+ Auto pointers builder.
+ configure.ac: Update bug link.
+ SIGSEGV when exiting gnome-shell.
+ Fix build with --enable-dtrace and create CI job to ensure it
doesn't break in the future.
+ Delay JSString-to-UTF8 conversion.
+ Annotate return values.
+ Fix a regression with GError toString().
+ GType memleak fixes.
+ Atoms refactor.
+ Write a "Code Hospitable" README file.
+ object: Method lookup repeatedly traverses introspection.
+ Handler of GtkEditable::insert-text signal is not run.
- Changes from version 1.55.1:
+ object: Implement newEnumerate hook for GObject.
+ Various maintenance.
+ ByteArray.toString should stop at null bytes.
+ Byte arrays that represent encoded strings should be
0-terminated.
+ context: Defer and therefore batch forced GC runs.
+ context: use timeout with seconds to schedule a gc trigger.
+ arg: Add special-case for byte arrays going to C.

Add patches lined up in the next unstable release aswell.
- Update to version 1.52.3:
+ Include calc.js example from Seed (glgo#gnome/gjs#130).
+ CI: Un-pin the Fedora Docker image (glgo#gnome/gjs#141,
(glgo#gnome/gjs#131).

+ Various CI changes (glgo#gnome/gjs#134, (glgo#gnome/gjs#136).
- Add gjs-Add-API-to-force-GC-schedule.patch: context: Add API to
force GC schedule. There are situations where we cannot run the
GC right away, but we also cannot ignore the need of running it.
For those cases, add a new private function that forces GC to
happen on idle (glgo"GNOME/gjs#140).
- Add gjs-Queue-forced-GC.patch: object: Queue a forced GC when
toggling down. Since we cannot know how many more wrapped
GObjects are going be marked for garbage collection after the
owner is destroyed, always queue a garbage collection when a
toggle reference goes down (glgo"GNOME/gjs#140). (forwarded request 604654 from iznogood)

- Update to version 1.50.4:
+ Gnome Shell crash with places-status extension when you plug an
USB device (glgo#gjs#33 and glgo#gjs#38).
- Changes from version 1.50.3:
+ GJS will now log a warning when a GObject is accessed in
Javascript code after the underlying object has been freed in
C. (This used to work most of the time, but crash
unpredictably.) We now prevent this situation which, is usually
by caused a memory management bug in the underlying C library.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Add checks for GObjects that have been finalized
(glgo#gjs#21, glgo#gjs#23, glgo#gjs#25, glgo#gjs#28,
glgo#gjs#33).
- Test "Cairo context has methods when created from a C
function" fails (glgo#gjs#27, glgo#gjs#35).
- Various fixes from the master branch for rare crashes.
- Update to version 1.50.2:
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- tweener: Fix a couple of warnings.
- legacy: Allow ES6 classes to inherit from abstract Lang.Class
class.
+ Minor bugfixes.
- Update Url to https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Gjs: current Gjs'
project web page.
- Alignment BuildRequires with configure:
+ Add pkgconfig(*): cairo-gobject, gio-2.0, gobject-2.0 and
gthread-2.0.
+ Drop pkgconfig(libmozjs-52) and libxml2-tools.
- Update to version 1.50.1:
+ As a debugging aid, gjs_dumpstack() now works even during
garbage collection.
+ Code coverage tools did not work so well in the last few 1.49
releases. The worst problems are now fixed, although even more
improvements will be released in the next unstable version.
Fixes include:
- Specifing prefixes for code coverage files now works again.
- Code coverage now works on lines inside ES6 class
definitions.
- The detection of which lines are executable has been improved
a bit.
- Rectify summaries.
- Update to version 1.50.0:
+ Relicense coverage.cpp and coverage.h to the same license as
the rest of GJS (bgo#787263).
- Change license back to MIT.
- Update to version 1.49.92:
+ It's now possible to build GJS with sanitizers (ASan and
UBSan) enabled; add "--enable-asan" and "--enable-ubsan" to
your configure flags.
+ There's also a "make check-valgrind" target which will run
GJS's test suite under Valgrind to catch memory leaks and
threading races.
+ Many of the crashes in GNOME 3.24 were caused by GJS's closure
invalidation code which had to change from the known-working
state in 1.46 because of changes to SpiderMonkey's garbage
collector. This code has been refactored to be less
complicated, which will hopefully improve stability and
debuggability.
+ Docs tweaks.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#783220, bgo#786668, bgo#786995, bgo#787113.
- Temporariliy change license to GPL-2.0+: there are a couple files
in the source tree, that link into libgjs and bring the code to
GPL-2.0+ level; upstream is working on relicensing them
(bgo#787263).
- Update to version 1.49.91:
+ Deprecation: The private "__name__" property on Lang.Class
instances is now discouraged. Code should not have been using
this anyway, but if it did then it should use the "name"
property on the class (this.__name__ should become
this.constructor.name), which is compatible with ES6 classes.
+ Closed bugs:
- Use ES6 classes (bgo#785652).
- A few fixes for stack traces and error reporting
(bgo#786183).
- /proc/self/stat is read for every frame if GC was not needed
(bgo#786017).
+ Build fix.
- Update to version 1.49.90:
+ New API: GObject.registerClass(), intended for use with ES6
classes.
+ Misc 1.49 and mozjs52 enhancements (bgo#785040).
+ Switch to native promises (bgo#784713).
+ Can't call exports using top-level variable toString
(bgo#781623).
+ Properties no longer recognized when shadowed by a method
(bgo#785091).
+ Backport of changes required for use with mozjs-55.
- Changes from version 1.49.6:
+ GJS crash in needsPostBarrier, possible access from wrong
thread (bgo#783935).
- Changes from version 1.49.4:
+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 52.
+ New language features
- ES6 classes.
- Async functions and await operator.
- Reflect - built-in object with methods for interceptable
operations.
+ Backwards-incompatible changes
- Non-standard "let expressions" and "let blocks" (e.g.,
`let (x = 5) { use(x) }`) are not supported any longer
- Non-standard flags argument to String.match(),
String.replace(), and String.search() (e.g.
`str.replace('foo', 'bar', 'g')`) is now ignored.
- Non-standard WeakSet.clear() method has been removed.
- Variables declared with let and const are now 'global lexical
bindings', as per the ES6 standard, meaning that they will
not be exported in modules.
+ Closed bugs:
- Prepare for SpiderMonkey 45 and 52 (bgo#781429).
- Add a static analysis tool as a make target (bgo#783214).
- Fix the build with debug logs enabled (bgo#784469).
- Switch to SpiderMonkey 52 (bgo#784196).

- Add libxml2-tools BuildRequires: new dependency.
- Update to version 1.49.3:
+ Fixes in preparation for SpiderMonkey 52.
+ Use the Centricular fork of libffi to build on Windows.
+ Use a C++ auto pointer instead of g_autofree (bgo#777597).
+ Build failure in GNOME Continuous (bgo#783031).
- Update to version 1.49.2:
+ New feature: When building an app with the Package module,
using the Meson build system, you can now run the app with
"ninja run" and all the paths will be set up correctly.
+ New feature: Gio.ListStore is now iterable.
+ New API: Package.requireSymbol(), a companion for the already
existing Package.require(), that not only checks for a GIR
library but also for a symbol defined in that library.
+ New API: Package.checkSymbol(), similar to
Package.requireSymbol() but does not exit if the symbol was not
found. Use this to support older versions of a GIR library with
fallback functionality.
+ New API: System.dumpHeap(), for debugging only. Prints the
state of the JS engine's heap to standard output. Takes an
optional filename parameter which will dump to a file instead
if given.
+ Fixes in preparation for SpiderMonkey 52.
+ Misc fixes.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#775868, bgo#781882, bgo#781882, bgo#782065,
bgo#782069, bgo#779593, bgo#782310, bgo#781219, bgo#780106.
- Update to version 1.49.1:

+ Enable incremental GCs (bgo#724797).
+ Don't silently accept extra arguments to C functions
(bgo#680215).
+ Special case GValues in signals and properties (bgo#688128).
+ [cairo]: Instantiate wrappers properly (bgo#614413).
+ Warn if we're importing an unversioned namespace (bgo#689654).
+ Fixes in preparation for SpiderMonkey 45.
- Update to version 1.48.6:
+ GJS crash in needsPostBarrier, possible access from wrong
thread - more fixes for bgo#783935.
- Update to version 1.48.5:
+ GJS crash in needsPostBarrier, possible access from wrong
thread (bgo#783935).
+ Fix format string, caught by static analysis.
+ Fixes for regression in 1.48.4.
- Update to version 1.48.4:
+ gnome-shell 3.24.1 crash on wayland (bgo#781799).
- Update to version 1.48.3:

- Update to version 1.48.1:
+ gjs crashed with SIGSEGV in gjs_object_from_g_object
(bgo#779918).
+ Misc bug fixes.
- Drop redundant %clean section.
- Update to version 1.48.0:
+ Memory leak in object_instance_resolve() (bgo#780171).
- Drop gjs-object-Fix-memory-leak-in-resolve.patch: fixed upstream.
- Add patch gjs-object-Fix-memory-leak-in-resolve.patch: The "name"
string, allocated in gjs_get_string_id(), wasn't getting freed at
every exit point of the function (bgo#780171).
- Update to version 1.47.92:
+ gjs 1.47.91 configure fails with Fedora's mozjs38 (bgo#779412).
+ tests: Don't fail when Gtk+-4.0 is available (bgo#779594).
+ gjs 1.47.91 test failures on non-amd64 (bgo#779399).
+ gjs_eval_thread should always be set (bgo#779693).
+ System.exit() should exit even across main loop iterations
(bgo#779692).
+ Fix a typo in testCommandLine.sh (bgo#779772).
+ arg: Fix accidental fallthrough (bgo#779838).
+ jsUnit: Explicitly check if tempTop.parent is defined
(bgo#779871).

per default together with mozjs-devel.
- Update to version 1.47.90:
+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 38.
+ Syntax enhancements.
+ Various API additions.
+ Backwards-incompatible changes:
- It is now a syntax error to declare the same variable twice
with "let" or "const" in the same scope. Existing code may
need to be fixed, but the fix is trivial.
+ SpiderMonkey is now extra vocal about warning when you access
an undefined property, and this causes some false positives.
You can turn this warning off by setting
GJS_DISABLE_EXTRA_WARNINGS=1.
+ When enumerating the importer object (i.e.,
"for (let i in imports) {...}") you will now get the names of
any built-in modules that have previously been imported.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#776966, bgo#777205, bgo#642506, bgo#776549,
bgo#777962.
- Replace pkgconfig(mozjs-31) BuildRequires with
pkgconfig(mozjs-38), following upstreams port.
- Update to version 1.47.4:
+ News for GJS embedders such as gnome-shell:
- New API: The GjsCoverage type and its methods are now
exposed. Use this if you are embedding GJS and need to output
code coverage statistics.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#563391, bgo#619710, bgo#636283, bgo#697020,
bgo#730101, bgo#737607, bgo#742852, bgo#751146, bgo#760057,
bgo#775444, bgo#775776, bgo#776193, bgo#776938.
- Update to version 1.47.3:
+ New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on
SpiderMonkey 31, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended
Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 24.
+ New syntax:
- Spread operator in function calls: someFunction(arg1, arg2,
...iterableObj).
- Generator functions: yield, function*, yield*.
- Binary and octal numeric literals: 0b10011100, 0o377.
- Function arguments without defaults can now come after those
with defaults: function f(x=1, y) {}.
+ New standard library module: Intl - Locale-sensitive formatting
and string comparison.
+ New behaviour:
- -0 and +0 are now considered equal as Map keys and Set
values.
- On typed arrays, numerical indexed properties ignore the
prototype object:
Int8Array.prototype[20] = 'foo';(new Int8Array(32))[20] == 0.
+ New non-standard Mozilla extensions:
- Array comprehensions.
- Generator comprehensions; both were originally proposed for
ES6 but removed.

JavaScript values are marshalled into GObject introspection 32
or 64-bit signed integer values, to match the ECMA standard.
+ Backwards-incompatible change: we have changed the way
gjs-console interprets command-line arguments.
- Add pkgconfig(gtk+-3.0) BuildRequires: enable GTK+ support.
- Update to version 1.46.0:

- Add dbus-1-glib-devel BuildRequires.
- Initial package. (forwarded request 571234 from iznogood)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/572081
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/gjs?expand=0&rev=70
- Update to version 1.50.4:
+ Gnome Shell crash with places-status extension when you plug an
USB device (glgo#gjs#33 and glgo#gjs#38).
- Changes from version 1.50.3:
+ GJS will now log a warning when a GObject is accessed in
Javascript code after the underlying object has been freed in
C. (This used to work most of the time, but crash
unpredictably.) We now prevent this situation which, is usually
by caused a memory management bug in the underlying C library.
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- Add checks for GObjects that have been finalized
(glgo#gjs#21, glgo#gjs#23, glgo#gjs#25, glgo#gjs#28,
glgo#gjs#33).
- Test "Cairo context has methods when created from a C
function" fails (glgo#gjs#27, glgo#gjs#35).
- Various fixes from the master branch for rare crashes.
- Update to version 1.50.2:
+ Closed bugs and merge requests:
- tweener: Fix a couple of warnings.
- legacy: Allow ES6 classes to inherit from abstract Lang.Class
class.
+ Minor bugfixes.
- Update Url to https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Gjs: current Gjs'
project web page.
- Alignment BuildRequires with configure:
+ Add pkgconfig(*): cairo-gobject, gio-2.0, gobject-2.0 and
gthread-2.0.
+ Drop pkgconfig(libmozjs-52) and libxml2-tools.
- Update to version 1.50.1:
+ As a debugging aid, gjs_dumpstack() now works even during
garbage collection.
+ Code coverage tools did not work so well in the last few 1.49
releases. The worst problems are now fixed, although even more
improvements will be released in the next unstable version.
Fixes include:
- Specifing prefixes for code coverage files now works again.
- Code coverage now works on lines inside ES6 class
definitions.
- The detection of which lines are executable has been improved
a bit.
- Rectify summaries.
- Update to version 1.50.0:
+ Relicense coverage.cpp and coverage.h to the same license as
the rest of GJS (bgo#787263).
- Change license back to MIT.
- Update to version 1.49.92:
+ It's now possible to build GJS with sanitizers (ASan and
UBSan) enabled; add "--enable-asan" and "--enable-ubsan" to
your configure flags.
+ There's also a "make check-valgrind" target which will run
GJS's test suite under Valgrind to catch memory leaks and
threading races.
+ Many of the crashes in GNOME 3.24 were caused by GJS's closure
invalidation code which had to change from the known-working
state in 1.46 because of changes to SpiderMonkey's garbage
collector. This code has been refactored to be less
complicated, which will hopefully improve stability and
debuggability.
+ Docs tweaks.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#783220, bgo#786668, bgo#786995, bgo#787113.
- Temporariliy change license to GPL-2.0+: there are a couple files
in the source tree, that link into libgjs and bring the code to
GPL-2.0+ level; upstream is working on relicensing them
(bgo#787263).
- Update to version 1.49.91:
+ Deprecation: The private "__name__" property on Lang.Class
instances is now discouraged. Code should not have been using
this anyway, but if it did then it should use the "name"
property on the class (this.__name__ should become
this.constructor.name), which is compatible with ES6 classes.
+ Closed bugs:
- Use ES6 classes (bgo#785652).
- A few fixes for stack traces and error reporting
(bgo#786183).
- /proc/self/stat is read for every frame if GC was not needed
(bgo#786017).
+ Build fix.
- Update to version 1.49.90:
+ New API: GObject.registerClass(), intended for use with ES6
classes.
+ Misc 1.49 and mozjs52 enhancements (bgo#785040).
+ Switch to native promises (bgo#784713).
+ Can't call exports using top-level variable toString
(bgo#781623).
+ Properties no longer recognized when shadowed by a method
(bgo#785091).
+ Backport of changes required for use with mozjs-55.
- Changes from version 1.49.6:
+ GJS crash in needsPostBarrier, possible access from wrong
thread (bgo#783935).
- Changes from version 1.49.4:
+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 52.
+ New language features
- ES6 classes.
- Async functions and await operator.
- Reflect - built-in object with methods for interceptable
operations.
+ Backwards-incompatible changes
- Non-standard "let expressions" and "let blocks" (e.g.,
`let (x = 5) { use(x) }`) are not supported any longer
- Non-standard flags argument to String.match(),
String.replace(), and String.search() (e.g.
`str.replace('foo', 'bar', 'g')`) is now ignored.
- Non-standard WeakSet.clear() method has been removed.
- Variables declared with let and const are now 'global lexical
bindings', as per the ES6 standard, meaning that they will
not be exported in modules.
+ Closed bugs:
- Prepare for SpiderMonkey 45 and 52 (bgo#781429).
- Add a static analysis tool as a make target (bgo#783214).
- Fix the build with debug logs enabled (bgo#784469).
- Switch to SpiderMonkey 52 (bgo#784196).
- Test suite fails when run with JIT enabled (bgo#616193).

- Update to version 1.49.3:
+ Fixes in preparation for SpiderMonkey 52.
+ Use the Centricular fork of libffi to build on Windows.
+ Use a C++ auto pointer instead of g_autofree (bgo#777597).
+ Build failure in GNOME Continuous (bgo#783031).
- Update to version 1.49.2:
+ New feature: When building an app with the Package module,
using the Meson build system, you can now run the app with
"ninja run" and all the paths will be set up correctly.
+ New feature: Gio.ListStore is now iterable.
+ New API: Package.requireSymbol(), a companion for the already
existing Package.require(), that not only checks for a GIR
library but also for a symbol defined in that library.
+ New API: Package.checkSymbol(), similar to
Package.requireSymbol() but does not exit if the symbol was not
found. Use this to support older versions of a GIR library with
fallback functionality.
+ New API: System.dumpHeap(), for debugging only. Prints the
state of the JS engine's heap to standard output. Takes an
optional filename parameter which will dump to a file instead
if given.
+ Fixes in preparation for SpiderMonkey 52.
+ Misc fixes.
+ Bugs fixed: bgo#775868, bgo#781882, bgo#781882, bgo#782065,
bgo#782069, bgo#779593, bgo#782310, bgo#781219, bgo#780106.
- Update to version 1.49.1:

string, allocated in gjs_get_string_id(), wasn't getting freed at
every exit point of the function (bgo#780171).
- Update to version 1.47.92:
+ gjs 1.47.91 configure fails with Fedora's mozjs38 (bgo#779412).
+ tests: Don't fail when Gtk+-4.0 is available (bgo#779594).
+ gjs 1.47.91 test failures on non-amd64 (bgo#779399).

+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 38.
+ Syntax enhancements.
+ Various API additions.
+ Backwards-incompatible changes:
- It is now a syntax error to declare the same variable twice
with "let" or "const" in the same scope. Existing code may
need to be fixed, but the fix is trivial.
+ SpiderMonkey is now extra vocal about warning when you access
an undefined property, and this causes some false positives.
You can turn this warning off by setting
GJS_DISABLE_EXTRA_WARNINGS=1.

"for (let i in imports) {...}") you will now get the names of
any built-in modules that have previously been imported.

bgo#730101, bgo#737607, bgo#742852, bgo#751146, bgo#760057,
bgo#775444, bgo#775776, bgo#776193, bgo#776938.
- Update to version 1.47.3:
+ New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on
SpiderMonkey 31, an upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended
Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 24.
+ New syntax:
- Spread operator in function calls: someFunction(arg1, arg2,
...iterableObj).
- Generator functions: yield, function*, yield*.

+ Backwards-incompatible change: we have changed the way certain
JavaScript values are marshalled into GObject introspection 32
or 64-bit signed integer values, to match the ECMA standard.
+ Backwards-incompatible change: we have changed the way
gjs-console interprets command-line arguments.
- Add pkgconfig(gtk+-3.0) BuildRequires: enable GTK+ support.

- Update to version 1.49.91:
+ Deprecation: The private "__name__" property on Lang.Class
instances is now discouraged. Code should not have been using
this anyway, but if it did then it should use the "name"
property on the class (this.__name__ should become
this.constructor.name), which is compatible with ES6 classes.
+ Closed bugs:
- Use ES6 classes (bgo#785652).
- A few fixes for stack traces and error reporting
(bgo#786183).
- /proc/self/stat is read for every frame if GC was not needed
(bgo#786017).

(bgo#785091).
+ Backport of changes required for use with mozjs-55.
- Changes from version 1.49.6:
+ GJS crash in needsPostBarrier, possible access from wrong
thread (bgo#783935).
- Changes from version 1.49.4:
+ This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 52.
+ New language features
