+Version 1.58.4
+--------------
+
+- Now prints a warning when constructing an unregistered object inheriting from
+ GObject (i.e. if you forgot to use GObject.registerClass.) In 1.58.2 this
+ would throw an exception, which broke some existing code, so that change was
+ reverted in 1.58.3. In this version the check is reinstated, but we log a
+ warning instead of throwing an exception, so that people know to fix their
+ code, but without breaking things.
+ NOTE: In 1.64 (the next stable release) the warning will be changed back into
+ an exception, because code with this problem can be subtly broken and cause
+ unexpected errors elsewhere. So make sure to fix your code if you get this
+ warning.
+
+- Closed bugs and merge requests:
+ * GSettings crash fixes [Andy Holmes, !373]
+
+- Memory savings for Cairo objects [Philip Chimento, !374]
+
+- Fix for crash in debug functions [Philip Chimento, !374]
+
Version 1.63.2
