Changelog of @hackage/haskell-gi 0.23.0

0.23.0

  • gobjectType now does not require a proxy argument, it needs to be used with TypeApplications instead.

  • Annotated signals are supported: on widget (signal ::: "detail").

  • Safe coercions to parent types supported, with asA.

  • Support for GObject subclassing, and registering custom properties.

  • Use TypeApplications in AttrInfo implementation, and inherited methods implementation.

  • Add an allocating setting operator (:&=).

  • Support for exporting class structs.

  • IsGValue instances for GObjects and boxed objects.

0.22.6

  • Fix generated IsX typeclasses for non-GObject interfaces.

0.22.5

  • Add support for inheriting overloading info.

0.22.4

  • Do not generate bindings for struct/union fields pointing to private/class structs, which we do not bind.

0.22.3

  • Sometimes struct fields marked as not introspectable contain invalid introspection info. We are lenient in these cases with parsing errors, and simply ignore the fields.

0.21.5

  • Add support for callback-valued properties.

0.21.4

  • Try to guess signedness of enums and flags on the C side, fixes #184.

0.21.3

  • Do not add nodes in overrides if a node with the same name already exists, fixes #171.

0.21.2

  • Do not free Ptr Word8 types after performing the call to C, since they only get passed along. Otherwise one could easily double free in functions such as GdkPixbuf.pixbufNewFromData.

  • Fix a leak on optional ScopeTypeAsync callbacks.

0.20.4

  • Improve marshaling of array arguments with no specified size. This improves the generated bindings for various functions, for instance GObject.signalEmitv.

  • Replace the enable-overloading flags with a explicit CPP check of the version of haskell-gi-overloading we are being compiled against, see issue 124 for the rationale.

0.20.3

  • Make the overloading code protected by a CPP conditional, depending on ENABLE_OVERLOADING being defined. See issue 107.

  • Wrap boxed structs/unions as transient ManagedPtrs in callbacks. This is needed to fix a number of issues, including issue 96 and issue 97.

0.20.2

  • Fixes for GHC 8.2.1.

0.20.1

  • gtk-doc parser and haddock generator: while by no means perfect, now the autogenerated bindings come with some reasonable autogenerated documentation.

  • Many bugfixes. A particularly important one is for issue 82, which made compilation of gi-glib fail, for the latest version of gobject-introspection.
