v0.9.7 add a libgda binding for the GNU Data Access library to access databases and other data. Improved shared library loading which no longer throws an exception if a library is missing, only if a function is called in the missing library. This makes it possible to write D applications which only use a library if it is available at runtime. Other changes include adding underscores to built in methods and Flag!"Take" argument to object constructors no longer have a default value. Both of those changes were made to decrease the chance of conflicting with GIR binding API methods. Packages now have website, D, and C API URIs. These are used to generate package README.md files and the website is also now added to the dub.json package files.

Other minor improvements and bug fixes including: missing parenthesis for return type in signal connect templates, new giD SVG logo, fix crash bugs in containerFree for GList and GSList for GidOwnership.None, add working/improved glib.global.strftime, add valType method to gobject.value.Value to get the gType of the value, and add custom gst1.init_ and initCheck methods.

Summary of changes with release v0.9.5:

• GStreamer bindings

• Object memory management improvements which fixes memory leaks and potential use after free issues

• Latest gidgen changes
  • Variable arguments with signal handler callbacks. Only those arguments which are needed, in sequence, can be specified in the callback.
  • Derived object types can be used for signal handler arguments. For example: an ApplicationWindow argument can be used instead of the native Window type for a Window signal handler, since it is a derivative type.
  • Improved signal connection template documentation with callback prototypes.

With v0.9.3 of the giD binding repository there is now support for Atk, Vte-3.91, and GtkSource-5. Module names and package namespace directories are now lowercase to conform to D coding conventions. Removed many binding rules which are now handled automatically by gidgen (arrays of strings). Other updates from latest gidgen and improvements to binding coverage.

• Update to use renamed gidgen repo command (now 'gir') and use new package version scheme (Element Green) 56eaef4
• Updates to README.md to reflect current gidgen and giD bindings (Element Green) af877e1
• Update from latest gidgen which fixes GtkSource constructors with external return types GtkSource definition: Set get_mark_attributes.priority as out direction (Element Green) 4f35d30
• Ignore many items in definitions including Interface structures, change several items from disable to ignore, ignore several additional items which are not useful to the D binding (Element Green) 12f5f51
• Remove string array zero termination rules since gidgen now handles this automatically, remove some other unnecessary rules (Element Green) e6db8cd
• Support for GtkSource-5. (#7) (Dejan Lekic) 427469e
• Lowercase package source directory and module names update (Element Green) d8577ce

giD 0.9.2 adds support for Windows, binding coverage reports, Apache Arrow binding, and many other improvements.

• Dynamic loader now supports Windows and Mac (untested)
• Dynamic symbol loader is now in Gid.loader instead of being generated per package
• GID_LOADER_DEBUG environment variable added for increasing verbosity of dynamic symbol loader
• Now using "library" instead of "dynamicLibrary" for dub targetType (seems to result in static libraries for now)
• Add binding for Apache Arrow, ArrowDataset, ArrowFlight, and Parquet as the first non-GTK binding
• Add report.txt to repository for tracking giD binding coverage
• Remove manual aliases for conflicting ancestor class methods, since they are now automatically generated by gidgen
• gidLink() of the loader is now a function instead of a template which cuts down on template instantiation overhead
• long/ulong now use versioned aliases so that they are 32 bit on Windows
• Remove dub.selections.json
• Changed several API items from "disabled" to "unsupported"

Fix building giD with the dmd compiler.

NOTE: This breaks backwards compatibility, due to the GLib.Boxed to GObject.Boxed rename.

• 089f015 Remove variant_get_gtype from GObject binding since it resulted in duplicate symbols with GLib-2.0.gir when using dmd, this seems like an error in the GObject-2.0.gir file.
• 32cebc4 Rename GLib.Boxed to GObject.Boxed and remove unnecessary localized dlsym resolution of g_boxed_copy and g_boxed_free which was causing crashes when building with the dmd compiler
