- math/big: panic during recursive division of very large numbers
A number of math/big.Int <https://pkg.go.dev/math/big#Int> methods (Div,
Exp, DivMod, Quo, Rem, QuoRem, Mod, ModInverse, ModSqrt, Jacobi, and GCD)
can panic when provided crafted large inputs. For the panic to happen, the
divisor or modulo argument must be larger than 3168 bits (on 32-bit
architectures) or 6336 bits (on 64-bit architectures). Multiple math/big.Rat
<https://pkg.go.dev/math/big#Rat> methods are similarly affected.
crypto/rsa.VerifyPSS <https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/rsa#VerifyPSS>,
crypto/rsa.VerifyPKCS1v15 <https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/rsa#VerifyPKCS1v15>,
and crypto/dsa.Verify <https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/dsa#Verify> may panic when
provided crafted public keys and signatures. crypto/ecdsa and
crypto/elliptic operations may only be affected if custom CurveParams
<https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/elliptic#CurveParams> with unusually large field
sizes (several times larger than the largest supported curve, P-521) are in
use. Using crypto/x509.Verify on a crafted X.509 certificate chain can lead
to a panic, even if the certificates don’t chain to a trusted root. The
chain can be delivered via a crypto/tls connection to a client, or to a
server that accepts and verifies client certificates. net/http clients can
be made to crash by an HTTPS server, while net/http servers that accept
client certificates will recover the panic and are unaffected.
Moreover, an application might crash invoking
crypto/x509.(*CertificateRequest).CheckSignature on an X.509 certificate
request or during a golang.org/x/crypto/otr conversation. Parsing a
golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp Entity or verifying a signature may crash.
Finally, a golang.org/x/crypto/ssh client can panic due to a malformed host
key, while a server could panic if either PublicKeyCallback accepts a
malformed public key, or if IsUserAuthority accepts a certificate with a
malformed public key.
This issue is CVE-2020-28362 and Go issue golang.org/issue/42552.
- cmd/go: arbitrary code execution at build time through cgo
The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when cgo is in use.
This may occur when running go get on a malicious package, or any other
command that builds untrusted code.
This can be caused by malicious gcc flags specified via a #cgo directive,
or by a malicious symbol name in a linked object file.
These issues are CVE-2020-28367 and CVE-2020-28366, and Go issues
golang.org/issue/42556 and golang.org/issue/42559 respectively.

Version 1.65.90
---------------
- GJS now has an optional, Linux-only, dependency on libsysprof-capture-4
instead of libsysprof-capture-3 for the profiler functionality.
- New API: gjs_coverage_enable() allows the collection of code coverage metrics.
If you are using GjsCoverage, it is now required to call gjs_coverage_enable()
before you create the first GjsContext. Previously this was not necessary, but
due to changes in SpiderMonkey 78 you must now indicate in advance if you want
to collect code coverage metrics.
- New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 78, an
upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 68.
Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features.
For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io.
* New language features
+ A new regular expression engine, supporting lookbehind and named capture
groups, among other things
* New syntax
+ The ?? operator ("nullish coalescing operator") is now supported
+ The ?. operator ("optional chaining operator") is now supported
+ Public static class fields are now supported
+ Separators in numeric literals are now supported: for example, 1_000_000
* New APIs
+ String.replaceAll() for replacing all instances of a string inside another
string
+ Promise.allSettled() for awaiting until all Promises in an array have
either fulfilled or rejected
+ Intl.Locale
+ Intl.ListFormat
+ Intl.RelativeTimeFormat.formatToParts()
* New behaviour
+ There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS
implementation conforms ever closer to existing ECMAScript standards and
adopts new ones. For complete information, read the Firefox developer
release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/69#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/70#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/71#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/72#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/73#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/74#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/75#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/76#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/77#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/78#JavaScript
* Backwards-incompatible changes
+ The Object.toSource() method has been removed
+ The uneval() global function has been removed
+ A leading zero is now never allowed for BigInt literals, making 08n and
09n invalid similar to the existing error when legacy octal numbers like
07n are used
+ The Function.caller property now has the value of null if the caller is a
strict, async, or generator function, instead of throwing a TypeError
- Backwards-incompatible change: Paths specified on the command line with
the --coverage-prefix argument, are now always interpreted as paths. If they
are relative paths, they will be resolved relative to the current working
directory. In previous versions, they would be treated as string prefixes,
which led to unexpected behaviour when the path of the script was absolute
and the coverage prefix relative, or vice versa.

* Can not access GObject properties of classes without GI information [Juan
Pablo Ugarte, !385, #299]
Version 1.63.90
---------------
- New JS API: The GObject module has gained new overrides:
GObject.signal_handler_find(), GObject.signal_handlers_block_matched(),
GObject.signal_handlers_unblock_matched(), and
GObject.signal_handlers_disconnect_matched(). These overrides replace the
corresponding C API, which was not idiomatic for JavaScript and was not fully
functional because it used bare C pointers for some of its functionality.
See modules/overrides/GObject.js for API documentation.
- New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 68, an
upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 60.
Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features.
For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io.
* New language features
+ The BigInt type, currently a stage 3 proposal in the ES standard, is now
available.
* New syntax
+ `globalThis` is now the ES-standard supported way to get the global
object, no matter what kind of JS environment. The old way, `window`, will
still work, but is no longer preferred.
+ BigInt literals are expressed by a number with "n" appended to it: for
example, `1n`, `9007199254740992n`.
* New APIs
+ String.prototype.trimStart() and String.prototype.trimEnd() now exist and
are preferred instead of trimLeft() and trimRight() which are nonstandard.
+ String.prototype.matchAll() allows easier access to regex capture groups.
+ Array.prototype.flat() flattens nested arrays, well-known from lodash and
similar libraries.
+ Array.prototype.flatMap() acts like a reverse filter(), allowing adding
elements to an array while iterating functional-style.
+ Object.fromEntries() creates an object from iterable key-value pairs.
+ Intl.RelativeTimeFormat is useful for formatting time differences into
human-readable strings such as "1 day ago".
+ BigInt64Array and BigUint64Array are two new typed array types.
* New behaviour
+ There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS
implementation conforms ever closer to existing ECMAScript standards and
adopts new ones. For complete information, read the Firefox developer
release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/61#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/62#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/63#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/64#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/65#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/66#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/67#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/68#JavaScript
* Backwards-incompatible changes
+ The nonstandard String generics were removed. These had only ever been
implemented by Mozilla and never made it into a standard. (An example of a
String generic is calling a string method on something that might not be a
string like this: `String.endsWith(foo, 5)`. The proper way is
`String.prototype.endsWith.call(foo, 5)` or converting `foo` to a string.)
This should not pose much of a problem for existing code, since in the
previous version these would already print a deprecation warning whenever
they were used.
You can use `moz68tool` from mozjs-deprecation-tools
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/ptomato/moz60tool) to scan your code for this
nonstandard usage.

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
--------------
- There is an option for changing the generated GType name for GObject classes
created in GJS to a new scheme that is less likely to have collisions. This
scheme is not yet the default, but you can opt into it by setting
`GObject.gtypeNameBasedOnJSPath = true;` as early as possible in your
prograṁ. Doing this may require some changes in Glade files if you use
composite widget templates.
We recommend you make this change in your codebase as soon as possible, to
avoid any surprises in the future.
- New JS API: GObject.Object has gained a stop_emission_by_name() method which
is a bit more idiomatic than calling GObject.signal_stop_emission_by_name().
- It's now supported to use the "object" attribute in a signal connection in a
composite widget template in a Glade file.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* CI: Tweak eslint rule for unneeded parentheses [Florian Müllner, !353]
* Smarter GType name computation [Marco Trevisan, !337]
* Meson CI [Philip Chimento, !354]
* Visual Studio builds using Meson [Chun-wei Fan, !355]
* Hide internal symbols from ABI [Marco Trevisan, #194, !352]
* Allow creating custom tree models [Giovanni Campagna, #71]
* build: Fix dist files [Florian Müllner, !357]
* GObject: Add convenience wrapper for signal_stop_emission_by_name() [Florian
Müllner, !358]
* Various maintenance [Philip Chimento, !356]
* object_instance_props_to_g_parameters should do more check on argv [Philip
Chimento, #63, !359]
* Support flat C arrays of structures [Philip Chimento, !361]
* Gtk Templates: support connectObj argument [Andy Holmes, !363]
- Various build fixes [Philip Chimento]
Version 1.58.2
--------------

* GObject based class initialization checks [Marco Trevisan, Philip Chimento,
!336]
* Silently leaked return value of callbacks [Xavier Claessens, Philip
Chimento, #86, !44]
* Crash when calling Gio.Initable.async_init with not vfunc_async_init
implementation [Philip Chimento, #287, !362]
* [cairo] insufficient checking [Philip Chimento, #49, !360]
- Various crash fixes backported from the development branch that didn't close
a bug or merge request.
Version 1.63.1
--------------
- Note that the 1.59, 1.60, 1.61, and 1.62 releases are hereby skipped, because
we are calling the next stable series 1.64 to match gobject-introspection and
GLib.
- GJS now includes a Meson build system. This is now the preferred way to build
it; however, the old Autotools build system is still available for a
transitional period.

* tests: Enable regression test cases for GPtrArrays and GArrays of structures
[Stéphane Seng, !334]

Version 1.57.91
---------------
- GJS no longer links to libgtk-3. This makes it possible to load the Gtk-4.0
typelib in GJS and write programs that use GTK 4.
- The heapgraph tool has gained some improvements; it is now possible to print a
heap graph of multiple targets. You can also mark an object for better
identification in the heap graph by assigning a magic property: for example,
myObject.__heapgraph_name = 'Button' will make that object identify itself as
"Button" in heap graphs.

* Remove usage of Lang in non legacy code [Sonny Piers, !322]
* GTK4 [Florian Müllner, #99, !328, !330]

* Implement all GObject-introspection test suites [Philip Chimento, !327,
!332]
* Heapgraph improvements [Philip Chimento, !325]
Version 1.57.90
---------------
- New JS API: GLib.Variant has gained a recursiveUnpack() method which
transforms the variant entirely into a JS object, discarding all type
information. This can be useful for dealing with a{sv} dictionaries, where
deepUnpack() will keep the values as GLib.Variant instances in order to
preserve the type information.
- New JS API: GLib.Variant has gained a deepUnpack() method which is exactly the
same as the already existing deep_unpack(), but fits with the other camelCase
APIs that GJS adds.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Marshalling of GPtrArray broken [#9, !311, Stéphane Seng]
* Fix locale chooser [!313, Philip Chimento]
* dbus-wrapper: Remove interface skeleton flush idle on dispose [!312, Marco

Version 1.57.4
--------------
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* gjs 1.57 requires a recent sysprof version for sysprof-capture-3 [#258,
!309, Olivier Fourdan]
- Misc documentation changes [Philip Chimento]
Version 1.57.3
--------------
- The GJS profiler is now integrated directly into Sysprof 3, via the
GJS_TRACE_FD environment variable. Call stack information and garbage
collector timing will show up in Sysprof. See also GNOME/Initiatives#10
- New JS API: System.addressOfGObject(obj) will return a string with the hex
address of the underlying GObject of `obj` if it is a GObject wrapper, or
throw an exception if it is not. This is intended for debugging.
- New JS API: It's now possible to pass a value from Gio.DBusProxyFlags to the
constructor of a class created by Gio.DBusProxy.makeProxyWrapper().
- Backwards-incompatible change: Trying to read a write-only property on a DBus
proxy object, or write a read-only property, will now throw an exception.
Previously it would fail silently. It seems unlikely any code is relying on
the old behaviour, and if so then it was probably masking a bug.

Trevisan]
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

Version 1.55.91
---------------
- The problem of freezing while running the tests using GCC's sanitizers was
determined to be a bug in GCC, which was fixed in GCC 9.0.1.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* gnome-sound-recorder crashes deep inside libgjs [#223, !266, Philip
Chimento]
* Various maintenance [!267, Philip Chimento]
* wrapperutils: Define $gtype property as non-enumerable [!268, Philip
Chimento]
Version 1.55.90
---------------
- New JS API: It's now possible to call and implement DBus methods whose
parameters or return types include file descriptor lists (type signature 'h'.)
This involves passing or receiving a Gio.UnixFDList instance along with the
parameters or return values.
To call a method with a file descriptor list, pass the Gio.UnixFDList along
with the rest of the parameters, in any order, the same way you would pass a
Gio.Cancellable or async callback.
For return values, things are a little more complicated, in order to avoid
breaking existing code. Previously, synchronously called DBus proxy methods
would return an unpacked GVariant. Now, but only if called with a
Gio.UnixFDList, they will return [unpacked GVariant, Gio.UnixFDList]. This
does not break existing code because it was not possible to call a method with
a Gio.UnixFDList before, and the return value is unchanged if not calling with
a Gio.UnixFDList. This does mean, unfortunately, that if you have a method
with an 'h' in its return signature but not in its argument signatures, you
will have to call it with an empty FDList in order to receive an FDList with
the return value, when calling synchronously.
On the DBus service side, when receiving a method call, we now pass the
Gio.UnixFDList received from DBus to the called method. Previously, sync
methods were passed the parameters, and async methods were passed the
parameters plus the Gio.DBusInvocation object. Appending the Gio.UnixFDList to
those parameters also should not break existing code.
See the new tests in installed-tests/js/testGDBus.js for examples of calling
methods with FD lists.
- We have observed on the CI server that GJS 1.55.90 will hang forever while
running the test suite compiled with GCC 9.0.0 and configured with the
--enable-asan and --enable-ubsan arguments. This should be addressed in one of
the following 1.55.x releases.

Version 1.52.5
--------------
- This was a release consisting only of backports from the GNOME 3.30 branch to
the GNOME 3.28 branch.
- This release includes the "Big Hammer" patch from GNOME 3.30 to reduce memory
usage. For more information, read the blog post at
https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/
It was not originally intended to be backported to GNOME 3.28, but in practice
several Linux distributions already backported it, and it has been working
well to reduce memory usage, and the bugs have been ironed out of it.
It does decrease performance somewhat, so if you don't want that then don't
install this update.

code.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* byteArray: Add compatibility toString property [Philip Chimento, !227]
Version 1.53.92
---------------
- Technology preview of a GNOME 3.32 feature: native Promises for GIO-style
asynchronous operations. This is the result of Avi Zajac's summer internship.
To use it, you can opt in once for each specific asynchronous method, by
including code such as the following:
Gio._promisify(Gio.InputStream.prototype, 'read_bytes_async',
'read_bytes_finish');
After executing this, you will be able to use native Promises with the
Gio.InputStream.prototype.read_async() method, simply by not passing a
callback to it:
try {
let bytes = await stream.read_bytes_async(count, priority, cancel);
} catch (e) {
logError(e, 'Failed to read bytes');
}
Note that any "success" boolean return values are deleted from the array of
return values from the async method. That is,
let [contents, etag] = file.load_contents_async(cancel);
whereas the callback version still returns a useless [ok, contents, etag]
that can never be false, since on false an exception would be thrown. In the
callback version, we must keep this for compatibility reasons.
Note that due to a bug in GJS (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/issues/189),
promisifying methods on Gio.File.prototype and other interface prototypes will
not work. We provide the API Gio._LocalFilePrototype on which you can
promisify methods that will work on Gio.File instances on the local disk only:
Gio._promisify(Gio._LocalFilePrototype, 'load_contents_async',
'load_contents_finish');
We estimate this will cover many common use cases.
Since this is a technology preview, we do not guarantee API stability with
the version coming in GNOME 3.32. These APIs are marked with underscores to
emphasize that they are not stable yet. Use them at your own risk.

* Added promisify to GJS GIO overrides [!225, Avi Zajac]

* Fix --enable-installed-tests when built from a tarball [!224, Simon
McVittie]
Version 1.53.90
---------------
- GJS now depends on SpiderMonkey 60 and requires a compiler capable of C++14.
- GJS includes a simple debugger now. It has basic stepping, breaking, and
printing commands, that work like GDB. Activate it by running the GJS console
interpreter with the -d or --debugger flag before the name of the JS program
on the command line.
- New API for programs that embed GJS: gjs_context_setup_debugger_console().
To integrate the debugger into programs that embed the GJS interpreter, call
this before executing the JS program.
- New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 60, an
upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 52.
Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features.
For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io.
* New syntax
+ `for await (... of ...)` syntax is used for async iteration.
+ The rest operator is now supported in object destructuring: e.g.
`({a, b, ...cd} = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4});`
+ The spread operator is now supported in object literals: e.g.
`mergedObject = {...obj1, ...obj2};`
+ Generator methods can now be async, using the `async function*` syntax,
or `async* f() {...}` method shorthand.
+ It's now allowed to omit the variable binding from a catch statement, if
you don't need to access the thrown exception: `try {...} catch {}`
* New APIs
+ Promise.prototype.finally(), popular in many third-party Promise
libraries, is now available natively.
+ String.prototype.toLocaleLowerCase() and
String.prototype.toLocaleUpperCase() now take an optional locale or
array of locales.
+ Intl.PluralRules is now available.
+ Intl.NumberFormat.protoype.formatToParts() is now available.
+ Intl.Collator now has a caseFirst option.
+ Intl.DateTimeFormat now has an hourCycle option.
* New behaviour
+ There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS
implementation conforms ever closer to ECMAScript standards. For complete
information, read the Firefox developer release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/53#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/54#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/55#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/56#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/57#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/58#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/59#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/60#JavaScript
* Backwards-incompatible changes
+ Conditional catch clauses have been removed, as they were a Mozilla
extension which will not be standardized. This requires some attention in
GJS programs, as previously we condoned code like `catch (e if
e.matches(Gio.IOError, Gio.IOError.EXISTS))` with a comment in
overrides/GLib.js, so it's likely this is used in several places.
+ The nonstandard `for each (... in ...)` loop was removed.
+ The nonstandard legacy lambda syntax (`function(x) x*x`) was removed.
+ The nonstandard Mozilla iteration protocol was removed, as well as
nonstandard Mozilla generators, including the Iterator and StopIteration
objects, and the Function.prototype.isGenerator() method.
+ Array comprehensions and generator comprehensions have been removed.
+ Several nonstandard methods were removed: ArrayBuffer.slice() (but not
the standard version, ArrayBuffer.prototype.slice()),
Date.prototype.toLocaleFormat(), Function.prototype.isGenerator(),
Object.prototype.watch(), and Object.prototype.unwatch().
- Many of the above backwards-incompatible changes can be caught by scanning
your source code using https://gitlab.gnome.org/ptomato/moz60tool, or
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1455/spidermonkey-60-migration-validator/
- Deprecation: the custom ByteArray is now discouraged. Instead of ByteArray,
use Javascript's native Uint8Array. The ByteArray module still contains
functions for converting between byte arrays, strings, and GLib.Bytes
instances.
The old ByteArray will continue to work as before, except that Uint8Array
will now be returned from introspected functions that previously returned a
ByteArray. To keep your old code working, change this:
let byteArray = functionThatReturnsByteArray();
to this:
let byteArray = new ByteArray.ByteArray(functionThatReturnsByteArray());
To port to the new code:
* ByteArray.ByteArray -> Uint8Array
* ByteArray.fromArray() -> Uint8Array.from()
* ByteArray.ByteArray.prototype.toString() -> ByteArray.toString()
* ByteArray.ByteArray.prototype.toGBytes() -> ByteArray.toGBytes()
* ByteArray.fromString(), ByteArray.fromGBytes() remain the same
* Unlike ByteArray, Uint8Array's length is fixed. Assigning an element past
the end of a ByteArray would lengthen the array. Now, it is ignored.
Instead use Uint8Array.of(), for example, this code:
let a = ByteArray.fromArray([97, 98, 99, 100]);
a[4] = 101;
should be replaced by this code:
let a = Uint8Array.from([97, 98, 99, 100]);
a = Uint8Array.of(...a, 101);
The length of the byte array must be set at creation time. This code will
not work anymore:
let a = new ByteArray.ByteArray();
a[0] = 255;
Instead, use "new Uint8Array(1)" to reserve the correct length.

Changelog extracted from https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/16/version-140-released.html
Standard library additions and changes
Added some enhancements to std/jsonutils module.
Added a possibility to deserialize JSON arrays directly to
HashSet and OrderedSet types and respectively to serialize
those types to JSON arrays via jsonutils.fromJson and
jsonutils.toJson procedures.
Added a possibility to deserialize JSON null objects to Nim
option objects and respectively to serialize Nim option object
to JSON object if isSome or to JSON null object if isNone via
jsonutils.fromJson and jsonutils.toJson procedures.
Added a Joptions parameter to jsonutils.fromJson currently
containing two boolean options allowExtraKeys and
allowMissingKeys.
If allowExtraKeys is true Nim’s object to which the JSON
is parsed is not required to have a field for every JSON
key.
If allowMissingKeys is true Nim’s object to which JSON is
parsed is allowed to have fields without corresponding
JSON keys.
Added bindParams, bindParam to db_sqlite for binding parameters
into a SqlPrepared statement.
Added tryInsert,insert procs to db_* libs which accept primary key
column name.
Added xmltree.newVerbatimText support create style’s,script’s
text.
uri module now implements RFC-2397.
Added DOM Parser to the dom module for the JavaScript target.
The default hash for Ordinal has changed to something more
bit-scrambling. import hashes; proc hash(x: myInt): Hash =
hashIdentity(x) recovers the old one in an instantiation context
while -d:nimIntHash1 recovers it globally.
deques.peekFirst and deques.peekLast now have var Deque[T] -> var T
overloads.
File handles created from high-level abstractions in the stdlib
will no longer be inherited by child processes. In particular,
these modules are affected: asyncdispatch, asyncnet, system,
nativesockets, net and selectors.
For asyncdispatch, asyncnet, net and nativesockets, an inheritable
flag has been added to all procs that create sockets, allowing the
user to control whether the resulting socket is inheritable. This
flag is provided to ease the writing of multi-process servers,
where sockets inheritance is desired.
For a transition period, define nimInheritHandles to enable file
handle inheritance by default. This flag does not affect the
selectors module due to the differing semantics between operating
systems.
asyncdispatch.setInheritable, system.setInheritable and nativesockets.setInheritable are also introduced for setting file handle or socket inheritance. Not all platforms have these procs defined.
The file descriptors created for internal bookkeeping by
ioselector_kqueue and ioselector_epoll will no longer be leaked to
child processes.
strutils.formatFloat with precision = 0 has been restored to the
version 1 behaviour that produces a trailing dot,
e.g. formatFloat(3.14159, precision = 0) is now 3., not 3.
Added commonPrefixLen to critbits.
relativePath(rel, abs) and relativePath(abs, rel) used to silently
give wrong results (see #13222); instead they now use
getCurrentDir to resolve those cases, and this can now throw in
edge cases where getCurrentDir throws. relativePath also now works
for js with -d:nodejs.
JavaScript and NimScript standard library changes:
streams.StringStream is now supported in JavaScript, with the
limitation that any buffer pointers used must be castable to ptr
string, any incompatible pointer type will not work. The lexbase
and streams modules used to fail to compile on NimScript due to a
bug, but this has been fixed.
The following modules now compile on both JS and NimScript:
parsecsv, parsecfg, parsesql, xmlparser, htmlparser and
ropes. Additionally supported for JS is cstrutils.startsWith and
cstrutils.endsWith, for NimScript: json, parsejson, strtabs and
unidecode.
Added streams.readStr and streams.peekStr overloads to accept an
existing string to modify, which avoids memory allocations,
similar to streams.readLine (#13857).
Added high-level asyncnet.sendTo and asyncnet.recvFrom UDP functionality.
dollars.$ now works for unsigned ints with nim js.
Improvements to the bitops module, including bitslices,
non-mutating versions of the original masking functions,
mask/masked, and varargs support for bitand, bitor, and bitxor.
sugar.=> and sugar.-> changes: Previously (x, y: int) was
transformed into (x: auto, y: int), it now becomes (x: int, y:
int) for consistency with regular proc definitions (although you
cannot use semicolons).
Pragmas and using a name are now allowed on the lefthand side of =>.
Here is an example of these changes:
import sugar
foo(x, y: int) {.noSideEffect.} => x + y
# is transformed into
proc foo(x: int, y: int): auto {.noSideEffect.} = x + y
The fields of times.DateTime are now private, and are accessed
with getters and deprecated setters.
The times module now handles the default value for DateTime more
consistently. Most procs raise an assertion error when given an
uninitialized DateTime, the exceptions are == and $ (which returns
"Uninitialized DateTime"). The proc times.isInitialized has been
added which can be used to check if a DateTime has been
initialized.
Fix a bug where calling close on io streams in osproc.startProcess was a noop and led to hangs if a process had both reads from stdin and writes (e.g. to stdout).
The callback that is passed to system.onThreadDestruction must now be .raises: [].
The callback that is assigned to system.onUnhandledException must now be .gcsafe.
osproc.execCmdEx now takes an optional input for stdin, workingDir and env parameters.
Added a ssl_config module containing lists of secure ciphers as recommended by Mozilla OpSec
net.newContext now defaults to the list of ciphers targeting “Intermediate compatibility” per Mozilla’s recommendation instead of ALL. This change should protect users from the use of weak and insecure ciphers while still provides adequate compatibility with the majority of the Internet.
A new module std/jsonutils with hookable jsonTo,toJson,fromJson operations for json serialization/deserialization of custom types was added.
A new proc heapqueue.find[T](heap: HeapQueue[T], x: T): int to get index of element x was added.
Added rstgen.rstToLatex a convenience proc for renderRstToOut and initRstGenerator.
Added os.normalizeExe.
macros.newLit now preserves named vs unnamed tuples.
Added random.gauss, that uses the ratio of uniforms method of sampling from a Gaussian distribution.
Added typetraits.elementType to get the element type of an iterable.
typetraits.$ changes: $(int,) is now "(int,)" instead of "(int)"; $tuple[] is now "tuple[]" instead of "tuple"; $((int, float), int) is now "((int, float), int)" instead of "(tuple of (int, float), int)"
Added macros.extractDocCommentsAndRunnables helper.
strformat.fmt and strformat.& support specifier =. fmt"{expr=}" now expands to fmt"expr={expr}".
Deprecations: instead of os.existsDir use dirExists, instead of os.existsFile use fileExists.
Added the jsre module, Regular Expressions for the JavaScript target..
Made maxLines argument Positive in logging.newRollingFileLogger, because negative values will result in a new file being created for each logged line which doesn’t make sense.
Changed log in logging to use proper log level for JavaScript, e.g. debug uses console.debug, info uses console.info, warn uses console.warn, etc.
Tables, HashSets, SharedTables and deques don’t require anymore that the passed initial size must be a power of two - this is done internally. Proc rightSize for Tables and HashSets is deprecated, as it is not needed anymore. CountTable.inc takes val: int again not val: Positive; i.e. it can “count down” again.
Removed deprecated symbols from macros module, some of which were deprecated already in 0.15.
Removed sugar.distinctBase, deprecated since 0.19. Use typetraits.distinctBase.
asyncdispatch.PDispatcher.handles is exported so that an external low-level libraries can access it.
std/with, sugar.dup now support object field assignment expressions:
import std/with
type Foo = object
x, y: int
var foo = Foo()
with foo:
x = 10
y = 20
echo foo
Proc math.round is no longer deprecated. The advice to use strformat instead cannot be applied to every use case. The limitations and the (lack of) reliability of round are well documented.
Added getprotobyname to winlean. Added getProtoByname to nativesockets which returns a protocol code from the database that matches the protocol name.
Added missing attributes and methods to dom.Navigator like deviceMemory, onLine, vibrate(), etc.
Added strutils.indentation and strutils.dedent which enable indented string literals:
import strutils
echo dedent """
This
is
cool!
"""
Added initUri(isIpv6: bool) to uri module, now uri supports parsing ipv6 hostname.
Added readLines(p: Process) to osproc.
Added the below toX procs for collections. The usage is similar to procs such as sets.toHashSet and tables.toTable. Previously, it was necessary to create the respective empty collection and add items manually.
critbits.toCritBitTree, which creates a CritBitTree from an openArray of items or an openArray of pairs.
deques.toDeque, which creates a Deque from an openArray.
heapqueue.toHeapQueue, which creates a HeapQueue from an openArray.
intsets.toIntSet, which creates an IntSet from an openArray.
Added progressInterval argument to asyncftpclient.newAsyncFtpClient to control the interval at which progress callbacks are called.
Added os.copyFileToDir.
Language changes
The =destroy hook no longer has to reset its target, as the compiler now automatically inserts wasMoved calls where needed.
The = hook is now called =copy for clarity. The old name = is still available so there is no need to update your code. This change was backported to 1.2 too so you can use the more readable =copy without loss of compatibility.
In the newruntime it is now allowed to assign to the discriminator field without restrictions as long as the case object doesn’t have a custom destructor. The discriminator value doesn’t have to be a constant either. If you have a custom destructor for a case object and you do want to freely assign discriminator fields, it is recommended to refactor the object into 2 objects like this:
type
MyObj = object
case kind: bool
of true: y: ptr UncheckedArray[float]
of false: z: seq[int]
proc `=destroy`(x: MyObj) =
if x.kind and x.y != nil:
deallocShared(x.y)
Refactor into:
type
MySubObj = object
val: ptr UncheckedArray[float]
MyObj = object
case kind: bool
of true: y: MySubObj
of false: z: seq[int]
proc `=destroy`(x: MySubObj) =
if x.val != nil:
deallocShared(x.val)
getImpl on enum type symbols now returns field syms instead of idents. This helps with writing typed macros. The old behavior for backwards compatibility can be restored with --useVersion:1.0.
The typed AST for proc headers will now have the arguments be syms instead of idents. This helps with writing typed macros. The old behaviour for backwards compatibility can be restored with --useVersion:1.0.
let statements can now be used without a value if declared with importc/importcpp/importjs/importobjc.
The keyword from is now usable as an operator.
Exceptions inheriting from system.Defect are no longer tracked with the .raises: [] exception tracking mechanism. This is more consistent with the built-in operations. The following always used to compile (and still does):
proc mydiv(a, b): int {.raises: [].} =
a div b # can raise an DivByZeroDefect
Now also this compiles:
proc mydiv(a, b): int {.raises: [].} =
if b == 0: raise newException(DivByZeroDefect, "division by zero")
else: result = a div b
The reason for this is that DivByZeroDefect inherits from Defect and with --panics:on Defects become unrecoverable errors.
Added the thiscall calling convention as specified by Microsoft, mostly for hooking purposes.
Deprecated the {.unroll.} pragma, because it was always ignored by the compiler anyway.
Removed the deprecated strutils.isNilOrWhitespace.
Removed the deprecated sharedtables.initSharedTable.
Removed the deprecated asyncdispatch.newAsyncNativeSocket.
Removed the deprecated dom.releaseEvents and dom.captureEvents.
Removed sharedlists.initSharedList, was deprecated and produces undefined behaviour.
There is a new experimental feature called “strictFuncs” which makes the definition of .noSideEffect stricter. See here for more information.
“for-loop macros” (see the manual) are no longer an experimental feature. In other words, you don’t have to write pragma {.experimental: "forLoopMacros".} if you want to use them.
Added the .noalias pragma. It is mapped to C’s restrict keyword for the increased performance this keyword can enable.
items no longer compiles with enums with holes as its behavior was error prone, see #14004.
system.deepcopy has to be enabled explicitly for --gc:arc and --gc:orc via --deepcopy:on.
Added the std/effecttraits module for introspection of the inferred effects. We hope this enables async macros that are precise about the possible exceptions that can be raised.
The pragma blocks {.gcsafe.}: ... and {.noSideEffect.}: ... can now also be written as {.cast(gcsafe).}: ... and {.cast(noSideEffect).}: .... This is the new preferred way of writing these, emphasizing their unsafe nature.
Compiler changes
Specific warnings can now be turned into errors via --warningAsError[X]:on|off.
The define and undef pragmas have been de-deprecated.
New command: nim r main.nim [args...] which compiles and runs main.nim, and implies --usenimcache so that the output is saved to $nimcache/main$exeExt, using the same logic as nim c -r to avoid recompilations when sources don’t change. Example:
nim r compiler/nim.nim --help # only compiled the first time
echo 'import os; echo getCurrentCompilerExe()' | nim r - # this works too
nim r compiler/nim.nim --fullhelp # no recompilation
nim r --nimcache:/tmp main # binary saved to /tmp/main
--hint:processing is now supported and means --hint:processing:on (likewise with other hints and warnings), which is consistent with all other bool flags. (since 1.3.3).
nim doc -r main and nim rst2html -r main now call openDefaultBrowser.
Added the new hint --hint:msgOrigin will show where a compiler msg (hint|warning|error) was generated; this helps in particular when it’s non obvious where it came from either because multiple locations generate the same message, or because the message involves runtime formatting.
Added the new flag --backend:js|c|cpp|objc (or -b:js etc), to change the backend; can be used with any command (e.g. nim r, doc, check etc); safe to re-assign.
Added the new flag --doccmd:cmd to pass additional flags for runnableExamples, e.g.: --doccmd:-d:foo --threads use --doccmd:skip to skip runnableExamples and rst test snippets.
Added the new flag --usenimcache to output binary files to nimcache.
runnableExamples "-b:cpp -r:off": code is now supported, allowing to override how an example is compiled and run, for example to change the backend.
nim doc now outputs under $projectPath/htmldocs when --outdir is unspecified (with or without --project); passing --project now automatically generates an index and enables search. See docgen for details.
Removed the --oldNewlines switch.
Removed the --laxStrings switch for mutating the internal zero terminator on strings.
Removed the --oldast switch.
Removed the --oldgensym switch.
$getType(untyped) is now “untyped” instead of “expr”, $getType(typed) is now “typed” instead of “stmt”.
Sink inference is now disabled per default and has to enabled explicitly via --sinkInference:on. Note: For the standard library sink inference remains enabled. This change is most relevant for the --gc:arc, --gc:orc memory management modes.
Tool changes
nimsuggest now returns both the forward declaration and the implementation location upon a def query. Previously the behavior was to return the forward declaration only.

It seems to be a generally useful feature. If a package supports
optional cargo dependencies then you may now (instead of messing with
CARGO_ARGS directly) set in your Makefile for example:
CARGO_NO_DEFAULT_FEATURES= YES
CARGO_FEATURES+= dbus pulseaudio
"Over the last releases, the Elixir team has been focusing on the compiler, both in terms of catching more mistakes at compilation time and making it faster. Elixir v1.11 has made excellent progress on both fronts. This release also includes many other goodies, such as tighter Erlang integration, support for more guard expressions, built-in datetime formatting, and other calendar enhancements."

Install the new interchangeable BLAS system created by Thomas Orgis,
currently supporting Netlib BLAS/LAPACK, OpenBLAS, cblas, lapacke, and
Apple's Accelerate.framework. This system allows the user to select any
BLAS implementation without modifying packages or using package options, by
setting PKGSRC_BLAS_TYPES in mk.conf. See mk/blas.buildlink3.mk for details.
This commit should not alter behavior of existing packages as the system
defaults to Netlib BLAS/LAPACK, which until now has been the only supported
implementation.
Details:
Add new mk/blas.buildlink3.mk for inclusion in dependent packages
Install compatible Netlib math/blas and math/lapack packages
Update math/blas and math/lapack MAINTAINER approved by adam@
OpenBLAS, cblas, and lapacke will follow in separate commits
Update direct dependents to use mk/blas.buildlink3.mk
Perform recursive revbump
3.9.0 Release highlights
New syntax features:
PEP 584, union operators added to dict;
PEP 585, type hinting generics in standard collections;
PEP 614, relaxed grammar restrictions on decorators.
New built-in features:
PEP 616, string methods to remove prefixes and suffixes.
New features in the standard library:
PEP 593, flexible function and variable annotations;
os.pidfd_open() added that allows process management without races and signals.
Interpreter improvements:
PEP 573, fast access to module state from methods of C extension types;
PEP 617, CPython now uses a new parser based on PEG;
a number of Python builtins (range, tuple, set, frozenset, list, dict) are now sped up using PEP 590 vectorcall;
garbage collection does not block on resurrected objects;
a number of Python modules (_abc, audioop, _bz2, _codecs, _contextvars, _crypt, _functools, _json, _locale, math, operator, resource, time, _weakref) now use multiphase initialization as defined by PEP 489;
a number of standard library modules (audioop, ast, grp, _hashlib, pwd, _posixsubprocess, random, select, struct, termios, zlib) are now using the stable ABI defined by PEP 384.
New library modules:
PEP 615, the IANA Time Zone Database is now present in the standard library in the zoneinfo module;
an implementation of a topological sort of a graph is now provided in the new graphlib module.
Release process changes:
PEP 602, CPython adopts an annual release cycle.
This release contains no new language features, though it does add one
long-awaited standard library feature. It is mostly quality of life
improvements, library stabilizations and const-ifications, and toolchain
improvements.
