About PyGObject
===============

GObject is a object system used by GTK+,  GStreamer and other
libraries.

PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs
when accessing GObject libraries.

Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the GNU
LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from
small single purpose scripts up to large full featured applications.

PyGObject now dynamically accesses any GObject libraries that uses
GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for separate modules such
as PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full GNOME 3.0 application.
Once new functionality is added to gobject library it is instantly
available as a Python API without the need for intermediate Python
glue.

News
====

	- [API change] Drop almost all static GLib bindings and replace them
	  with proper introspection. This gets rid of several cases where the
	  PyGObject API was not matching the real GLib API, makes the full GLib
	  API available through introspection, and makes the code smaller,
	  easier to maintain. For backwards compatibility, overrides are
	  provided to emulate the old static binding API, but this will throw a
	  PyGIDeprecationWarning for the cases that diverge from the official
	  API (in particular, GLib.io_add_watch() and GLib.child_watch_add()
	  being called without a priority argument). (Martin Pitt, Simon Feltman)
	- [API change] Deprecate calling GLib API through the GObject
	  namespace. This has always been a misnomer with introspection, and
	  will be removed in a later version; for now this throws a
	  PyGIDeprecationWarning.
        - [API change] Do not bind gobject_get_data() and gobject_set_data().
	  These have been deprecated for a cycle, now dropped entirely.
	  (Steve Frécinaux) (#641944)
	- [API change] Deprecate void pointer fields as general PyObject
	  storage. (Simon Feltman) (#683599)
        - Add support for GVariant properties (Martin Pitt)
        - Add type checking to GVariant argument assignment (Martin Pitt)
        - Fix marshalling of arrays of struct pointers to Python (Carlos Garnacho) (#678620)
        - Fix Gdk.Atom to have a proper str() and repr() (Martin Pitt) (#678620)
        - Make sure g_value_set_boxed does not cause a buffer overrun with GStrvs (Simon Feltman) (#688232)
        - Fix leaks with GValues holding boxed and object types (Simon Feltman) (#688137)
        - Add doc strings showing method signatures for gi methods (Simon Feltman) (#681967)
        - Set Property instance doc string and blurb to getter doc string (Simon Feltman) (#688025)
        - Add GObject.G_MINSSIZE (Martin Pitt)
        - Fix marshalling of GByteArrays (Martin Pitt)
        - Fix marshalling of ssize_t to smaller ints (Martin Pitt)
	- Add support for lcov code coverage, and add a lot of missing
	  GIMarshallingTests and g-i Regress tests. (Martin Pitt)
        - pygi-convert: remove deprecated GLib → GObject conversions (Jose Rostagno)
        - Add support for overriding GObject.Object (Simon Feltman) (#672727)
        - Add --with-python configure option (Martin Pitt)
	- Do not prefer unversioned "python" when configuring, as some distros
	  have "python" as Python 3. Use Python 3 by default if available. Add
	  --with-python configure option as an alternative to setting $PYTHON,
	  whic is more discoverable. (Martin Pitt)
        - Fix property lookup in class hierarchy (Daniel Drake) (#686942)
        - Move property and signal creation into _class_init() (Martin Pitt) (#686149)

        - [API add] Add get_introspection_module for getting un-overridden modules (Simon Feltman) (#686828)
        - Work around wrong 64 bit constants in GLib Gir (Martin Pitt) (#685022)
        - Mark GLib.Source.get_current_time() as deprecated (Martin Pitt)
        - Fix OverflowError in source_remove() (Martin Pitt) (#684526)
