2017

gjs (1.50.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   [ Adrian Bunk ]

   [ Jeremy Bicha ]

   * New upstream release
 
   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * d/rules: Actually run build-time tests. Thanks, Adrian Bunk
     (Closes: #878610)
     - d/rules: Run tests with VERBOSE=1 like dh_auto_test would
     - d/test.sh: Wrap tests in a script, making failures non-fatal on
       the same architectures as mozjs52
     - d/test.sh: Run a smoke-test (a "hello world" program) to prove
       that the interpreter has any sort of functionality at all

gjs (1.50.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   [ Jeremy Bicha ]
   * Release to unstable
 
   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * d/control.in: Add Breaks on versions of various JS apps that are
     not compatible with the ES6 syntax rules used since mozjs52
     (Closes: #874693)
     - No Breaks needed for lockstep upgrade of gnome-shell since old
       Shell depends on libgjs0e or older, new Shell depends on libgjs0g,
       and the two are already non-coinstallable

gjs (1.50.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release
   * debian/control.in:
     - Bump minimum gobject-introspection to 1.53.4
   * Drop disable-property-shadow-test.patch:
     - No longer needed with gobject-introspection 1.53.4
   * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1

gjs (1.50.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release

gjs (1.49.92-1) experimental; urgency=medium

gjs (1.49.91-1) experimental; urgency=medium

   [ Andreas Henriksson ]
   * New upstream release.
   * Update build-dependencies according to configure.ac changes.
   * Switch to mozjs52
   * Rename libgjs0e to libgjs0g and replace/conflict with the old name.
 
   [ Jeremy Bicha ]
   * debian/control.in:
     - Have libgjs-dev depend on libgtk-3-dev, discovered via autopkgtest
   * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.0
   * Drop 0001-installed-tests-Prepend-pkglibdir-to-library-path.patch:
     - Applied in new release
   * debian/control.in:

   * Add disable-property-shadow-test.patch:
     - Temporarily disable new installed test that fails

gjs (1.46.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   [ Roland Hieber ]
   * Fix typo in package description (Closes: #841138)
 
   [ Iain Lane ]
   * debian/control{,.in}: Have libgjs0e depend on gir dependencies, since the
     GjsPrivate library requires GObject, GLib and Gtk. gjs-tests depends
     transitively on this package, so remove the gir1.2-gtk-3.0 dependency from
     there.
   * d/p/0001-installed-tests-Prepend-pkglibdir-to-library-path.patch: Backport
     an upstream patch to look in pkglibdir for (private) libraries, in the
     installed test runner. Should fix the installed tests, and thus the
     autopkgtests.

2016

gjs (1.46.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release.
   * Convert from cdbs to dh.
   * Bump debhelper compat level to 10.
   * Mark test dependencies with <!nocheck>.

gjs (1.45.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * debian/control{,.in}: Have gjs-tests depend on gjs, since
     gjs/testSystemExit.test requires the gjs binary.
   * debian/tests/installed-tests: Always run in C

gjs (1.45.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release.
   * Replace Build-Depends on uuid-runtime with dbus (for dbus-uuidgen).
   * Explicitly enable tests which require dbus and Xvfb.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.8.

gjs (1.45.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Upload to unstable.
   * Make test suite failures non-fatal again and dump the log files to stdout
     if the test suite fails. There are currently known failing tests which
     might point to real issues, but there is no fix available (yet) and this
     blocks important fixes in other packages from entering testing. So this is
     the lesser of two evils.

gjs (1.45.3-1) experimental; urgency=medium

   * New upstream development release.
   * Bump glib build-dependency to >= 2.42.0 according to configure.ac changes.
   * Upload to experimental.

   [ Michael Biebl ]
   * New upstream release.
   * Drop debian/patches/0001-tests-Run-under-Xvfb.patch, merged upstream.

       g_object_class_list_properties(), are now available
     - Added full automatic support for GTK widget templates
     - Added control of JS Date caches to system module
     - Misc bug fixes and memory leak fixes
   * debian/watch: Find unstable versions too.
   * debian/rules: Run dh_install with --fail-missing
   * debian/control{,.in}: Standards-Version → 3.9.6
   * debian/patches/0001-tests-Run-under-Xvfb.patch,
     debian/rules, debian/control{,.in}: Make the testsuite fatal again. Run it
     under Xvfb (cherry-picked from upstream bug #750688).
   * debian/control{,.in}: Add missing test-dep on at-spi2-core - there's a
     warning if it can't be bus activated which fails the test.
   * debian/tests/installed-tests: Filter out successful activation messages
     from the dbus daemon which come on stderr and fail the test unnecessarily.
