News
====

- The interactive interpreter now displays its output more intelligently,
  pretty-printing the properties and values of objects based on their type. This
  improvement also applies to the log() and logError() functions.

- New API: DBus proxy classes now include methods named with the suffix 'Async',
  which perform async calls to DBus APIs and return Promises. This is in
  addition to the existing suffixes 'Sync' (for blocking calls) and 'Remote'
  (for async calls with callbacks.)

- There is an override for Gio.ActionMap.prototype.add_action_entries().
  Previously this method wouldn't work because it required an array of
  Gio.ActionEntry objects, which are not possible to construct in GJS. Now it
  can be used with an array of plain objects. (e.g. `this.add_action_entries([
  {name: 'open', activate() { ... }}]);`

- GJS is now compatible with libffi 3.4.2 and later. All earlier versions of GJS
  are not compatible with libffi 3.4.2 and later unless libffi is built with the
  --disable-exec-static-tramp flag.

- GJS now requires Meson 0.54 to build.
