Name        : gjs
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 1.30.1
Release     : 1.fc16
URL         : http://live.gnome.org/Gjs/
Summary     : Javascript Bindings for GNOME
Description :
Gjs allows using GNOME libraries from Javascript. It's based on the
Spidermonkey Javascript engine from Mozilla and the GObject introspection
framework.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This release contains bug fixes to two crashes that are occurring with
GNOME 3.2 and certain GNOME Shell extensions.

 * If GJS attempted to create a proxy object during garbage collection,
   then that would fail in a way such that the next attempt to
   construct a new object would die with an assertion failure

 * If a GObject constructor returned an existing singleton object
   from g_object_new(), that would cause an assertion failure

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Fri Jan 13 2012 Owen Taylor <otaylor at redhat.com> - 1.30.1-1

* Fri Dec  2 2011 Karsten Hopp <karsten at redhat.com> 1.30.0-2
