+Version 1.57.2
+--------------
+
+- There are now overrides for Gio.SettingsSchema and Gio.Settings which avoid
+ aborting the whole process when trying to access a nonexistent key or child
+ schema. The original API from GLib was intended for apps, since apps should
+ have complete control over which settings keys they are allowed to access.
+ However, it is not a good fit for shell extensions, which may need to access
+ different settings keys depending on the version of GNOME shell they're
+ running on.
+
+ This feature is based on code from Cinnamon which the copyright holders have
+ kindly agreed to relicense to GJS's license.
+
+- New JS API: It is now possible to pass GObject.TypeFlags to
+ GObject.registerClass(). For example, passing
+ `GTypeFlags: GObject.TypeFlags.ABSTRACT` in the class info object, will create
+ a class that cannot be instantiated. This functionality was present in
+ Lang.Class but has been missing from GObject.registerClass().
+
+- Closed bugs and merge requests:
+ * Document logging features [#230, !288, Andy Holmes]
+ * Support optional GTypeFlags value in GObject subclasses [!290, Florian
+ Müllner]
+ * Ensure const-correctness in C++ objects [#105, !291, Onur Åžahin]
+ * Programmer errors with GSettings cause segfaults [#205, !284, Philip
+ Chimento]
+ * Various maintenance [!292, Philip Chimento]
+ * debugger: Fix summary help [!293, Florian Müllner]
+ * context: Use Heap pointers for GC objects stored in vectors [!294, Philip
+ Chimento]
