Changelog of @hackage/haskell-gi 0.26.12

0.26.12

• Add support for the .gir format dialect generated by vala.

0.26.11

• Don't try to guess which callback arguments are user_data arguments, as this can lead to problems, as in issue 447.

0.26.9

• Add a workaround for a GHC issue stopping parallel compilation in GHC >= 9.6.
• Fix compilation issues regarding time_t and similar types in introspection data.

0.26.8

• Add support for scope type "forever": see this issue.

0.26.7

• Work around changing conventions on how to annotate user_data arguments in callbacks, see this gobject introspection issue for background.

0.26.6

• Work around changing conventions about what the closure n annotation means: many annotations appear on the callback, pointing to the user_data argument, but sometimes it also appears on the user_data argument, pointing to the callback. See issue 407 for a place where this becomes a problem.

0.26.5

• Add a reference to ?self argument in signals. See issue 408 for the motivation.

0.26.0

• Support for 'HasField' methods, which allows the syntax 'widget.show' or 'widget.add child' for invoking methods using the new RecordDotSyntax in ghc 9.2.

• And an implicit '?self' parameter for callbacks, for accessing the calling object. See issue 346 where this is necessary in practice in gtk4 to use event controllers.

• Add an 'After' attribute to connect to signals after the default handler on constructors/setters using attribute syntax, similar to On.

• Add resolveSignal for showing what an overloaded signal resolves to: resolveSignal button #notify will output GI.GObject.Objects.Object.Object::notify.

0.25.0

• Support non-GObject object attributes.

• Support for ghc 9.0.1.

• Improvements in the generated Haddocks.

• Remove the command line version of the bindings generator.

• Remove support for non-IsLabel overloading.

• Add resolveMethod for showing what an overloaded method resolves to: resolveMethod #show widget will output GI.Gtk.Objects.Widget.widgetShow.

0.24.5

• Fix an accidental double free for GValues, see issue 320.

• Accept docsections in gir files, although they are currently ignored. See issue 318.

0.24.4

• Relax bound on ansi-terminal.

0.24.3

• Provide type init functions for GParamSpec types. This solves a puzzling linker error saying that the "intern" symbol could not be resolved, see issue 297 and issue 298.

0.24.2

• Support for allocating GArrays of known size structs in caller-allocates arguments.

0.24.1

• Add support for delete-attr override, to remove attributes.

• Allow (but ignore) destroyers in scope async callbacks.

0.24.0

• Added support for non-GObject objects

0.23.2

• Fix a possible segfault in functions that return an out pointer to a dynamically allocated array, but do not initialize the array if it has zero size. See #289 for an example.

0.23.1

• Check whether symbols exist in the dynamic library before trying to generate bindings for them, in order to avoid linker errors.

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.
