-== Seed 0.8.5, "Self Portrait" (2009.07.10) ==
+2009-04-17  Your Name  <your name gnome org>
 
-* Significant reorganization and expansion of the reference documentation
-
-* New native modules:
-	* gettext
-	* MPFR (partially complete)
-
-* Same Seed has moved to the gsoc-seed-games branch of Gnome Games
-  (and will eventually move to master)
-
-* Add seed-module.h, which includes a handful of macros to make writing modules
-  slightly more attractive. Look at gettext or the reference docs for examples.
-
-* Prefix native modules with seed_ (libseed_readline.so, etc.); this fixes the
-  need to incessantly 'make clean' seed and cuts down on ambiguity in naming.
-
-* Add 'seed_value_is_string', 'seed_value_is_number', and
-  'seed_value_is_object_of_class' to libseed
-
-* Update examples to latest (now frozen) Clutter API changes.
-
-* Fixes a bug with the importer search path which resulted in the search path
-  being overwritten each time something was imported
- 
-* The importer now also searches the directory in which the script being
-  executed is located by default.
-
-== Seed 0.8, "Bringing It All Back Home" (2009.05.27) ==
-
-* Importer now supports constructing directory objects, to avoid manipulation
-  of search path. Importer directory objects now support property enumeration.
-
-* Fix small leak in GObject wrapper initialization. (and also simplify
-  the process).
-
-* GtkBuilder module to handle GtkBuilder automatic signal connection.
-
-* *_init methods now take normal arrays (by value) in addition to the special
-  Seed.argv array.
-
-* GObject constructors (init methods) now take "self" as a parameter.
-
-* Passing non gobject-properties to a GObject constructor will set the
-  properties on the GObject wrapper.
-  
-* Module documentation rewritten in docbook, and builds one nice manual.
-
-* New Cairo module, supports most of the cairo API, with automatic memory
-  management and everything you would expect.
-
-* Fix a reference count leak introduced in the last few releases.
-  in some cases with non INITIALLY_UNOWNED objects.
-
-* Some work on ClutterPad examples, and writing examples which live inside of it
-  (lots of fun to play with!, cairo example...fun spring example...ClutterBox2D)
-
-* Working around a WebKit bug (which is actually fixed in SVN now), should
-  prevent a crash that happened sometimes with C modules.
-
-* Clutter animatev wrapper looks up property type wrapper now, so as to avoid
-  having to pass [GObject.TYPE_FOO, bar]
-
-* Implement some varargs functions which can be implemented on top of non-vararg
-  variants in JavaScript extensions.
-
-* JSON stuff (stringify,parse) is now in gnome-js-common.
-
-* Add seed_value_to_format to API, for converting an Array of SeedValue based
-  on a format string.
-  
-* Install seed-debug.h so modules can make use of it.
-
-* Search path now works in nonstandard prefix, default search path includes
-  gnome-js-common moduledir (from pkgconfig).
-  
-* Support to/from Date objects to time_t.
-
-== Seed 0.7, "Another Side of Bob Dylan" (2009.05.13) ==
-
-* Support for library init methods.
-
-* The REPL now supports multi-line entry.
-
-* Signal disconnection.
-
-* Significant Gtk-Doc reorganization.
-
-* New C modules:
-	* sandbox - provides sandboxed JavaScriptCore contexts.
-	* DBus - Client side DBus bindings.
-	* libxml - XML parsing, XPath, etc.
-
-* Examples:
-	* New: ClutterPad (initially by Johan Euphrosine).
-	* New: dbus-banshee, dbus-consolekit, dbus-networkmanager
-	* New: xml-dom.js xml-tree.js, xml-xpath.js.
-	* Pango examples have returned.
-	* Same Seed performance is increased significantly.
-	* Many examples now use "recent" style; some were completely rewritten
-	
-* Improvements to test system, and quite a few more tests.
-
-* Improvements to error checking/handling in signal code.
-
-* Reorganization of API related to GClosure handling, much cleaner and easier.
-
-* Several new API methods.
-
-* GC related crash fixes.
-
-* Improvements to seed_value_to_string (mostly formatting improvements).
-
-* Void methods now properly return undefined instead of null.
-
-* seed_make_exception takes format strings now.
-
-== Seed 0.6, "Beatles for Sale" (2009.04.29) ==
-
-* Significant build fixes and cleanups. Should build on more distros
-  with weird libffis now.
-
-* Depend on GObject-introspection from GIT.
-
-* Some API additions.
-
-* Reimplement Seed.import_namespace in terms of the new imports system,
-  will be entirely deprecated for 0.6.
-
-* Improve memory management in signals and closures.
-
-* Rewrite the GType subclassing to avoid using FFI, 
-  saves memory and improves performance.
-
-* GType "init" now means "constructor" and not "instance init".
-
-* Signal installation, is now handled by an array on the type definition
-  rather than in class_init (which was clunky and C-like).
-
-* Lots of new documentation, including a documentation index, a description
-  of the mapping from C to JavaScript, an example index, and updates to
-  the rest of the documentation.
-
-* Significant cleanup of all of the examples, a lot of them had bit
-  rotted a bit, being written months ago.
-	
- 
-== Seed 0.5, "Transformer" (2009.04.16) ==
-
-* Many, many crash fixes.
-
-* Significantly better base memory usage (on the order of MB) for some apps.
-
-* Enums use Gtk.WindowType.NORMAL instead of Gtk.WindowType.Normal.
-  This may break existing code in subtle ways (as Gtk.WindowType.Normal
-  will now be JavaScript null).
-
-* instance_init is now just init when creating new GTypes. This will require 
-  changes in any code using subclassing.
-
-* Enum types are validated when passed in to functions now.
-
-* Complete rewrite of import system, spanning GObject Introspection namespaces, 
-  native modules, and JavaScript files, which is compatible with Gjs.
-
-* Along with above, deprecate Seed.import_namespace.
-
-* New 'os' module, similar to that of Python. Provides access to a significant
-  quantity of low-level system features unavailable from GLib.
-
-* Significant updates to Canvas module - most features are compatible with the
-  Mozilla/WebKit implementations at this point.
-
-* Clutter 0.9 animation API wrappers.
-
-* Add seed_repl_expose; gives the ability to drop to a JavaScript REPL from
-  within C, and magically expose JSValueRefs to JS in a simple way.
-
-* Seed.readline history persists between sessions (stored in ~/.seed_history)
-
-* Support for several more array types.
-
-* Added Seed.breakpoint(), which inserts a breakpoint instruction.
-
-* API additions: Lots of API additions. Including a significant amount 
-of API documentation.
-
-* New examples:
-    * opengl-glib examples (teapot, gears, triangle)
-    * Gtk Twitter client (from the Ars Technica article)
-    * Same Seed (Clutter 0.9 rewrite of Same Gnome)
-    * Clutter-COGL example
-    * Reddit client (Gio and JSON)
-    * Library of Clutter "slide transitions"
-    * Rewrote clutter example for 0.9
-
-* The Lights Off example now lives in Gnome Games.
-
-== Seed 0.3, "Wednesday Morning 3AM" (2008.12.31) ==
-
-* Lots of memory changes. Memory usage isn't bad anymore, 
-  reference counting actually works (no big leaks or anything anymore
-  ...there are still a few very small ones you can trigger). 
-  Memory usage of most of the examples after they've loaded,
-  has about halved (or more in cases like the browser) since 0.1, 
-  and now compares very favorably to other
-  dynamic languages. Lots of g_slice_alloc, which comes off
-  quite nicely when creating bunches of small structs like ClutterColor.
-
-* Innumerable bug fixes.
-
-* Structs work now! Things like GdkRectangle: you can allocate them,
-  get at their members, etc.
-    * Including struct "literals, i.e." stage.set_color({red: 255, alpha: 220}).
-
-* GObject subclassing, which was rushed in to a 0.1 point release,
-  is reliable now! signal installation too.
-
-* Multiple context support, rather than the silly global context.
-
-* Support for string array argument conversion.
-
-* C extension Modules
-    * readline
-    * Multiprocessing -- Simple IPC pipes. Just an example, really.
-    * sqlite
-    * canvas -- A little, toy, mostly functional but incomplete HTML Canvas
-                implementation. May be useful until we have cairo bindings.
-                Supports SVG/PDF output.
-
-* Signals use userdata now. The 'this' argument was removed,
-  as it really just lead to organizational issues.
-
-* object.signal.connect is defined for connecting by strings
-  (allows for connecting to detailed signals, like property notifications)
-
-* 'out' arguments of methods work, granted in a rather poor fashion,
-  not sure of the best way to do this yet.
-
-* Enums use Gtk.WindowType.Normal instead of Gtk.WindowType.normal,
-  may break existing code in subtle ways (as Gtk.WindowType.normal
-  will now be JavaScript null).
-
-* Licensing update - libseed is LGPL. The trivial examples are BSD,
-  the more complete ones are GPL.
-
-* Lots of leaks fixed, and also some reference bugs that lead to crashing.
-
-* External API is pretty usable now.
-
-* External API example (Turtle Graphics)
-
-* Threading sort of works now. It's rather unpredictable,
-  but async callbacks and stuff are fine.
-
-* Many more Seed examples. Ranging from Gnio Server, to threading. The
-  browser example is pretty neat now, and has sqlite bookmarks, WebInspector,
-  and a few other tidbits. lightsoff and browser are the two highlight examples
-  to play with.
-
-* Skeleton GTK-Doc for API 
-
-* New builtins: Seed.spawn, Seed.repl/glib_repl/thread_repl.
-  Kind of useful for debugging. 
-
-* Removed builtins: Seed.prototype: Now use Gtk.Window.prototype 
-                    Seed.closure, Automatically handled now.
-                    Seed.closure_native, automagic.
-                    Seed.readline, moved in to module.
+        * *: The ChangeLog is auto-generated when releasing. If you
+        are seeing this, use 'git log' for a detailed list of changes.
