Version 1.75.2
--------------

- There are new `Gio.Application.prototype.runAsync()` and
  `GLib.MainLoop.prototype.runAsync()` methods which do the same thing as
  `run()` but return a Promise which resolves when the main loop ends, instead
  of blocking while the main loop runs. Use one of these methods (by awaiting
  it) if you use async operations with Promises in your application. Previously,
  it was easy to get into a state where Promises never resolved if you didn't
  run the main loop inside a callback. [Evan Welsh]

- There are new `Gio.InputStream.prototype.createSyncIterator()` and
  `Gio.InputStream.prototype.createAsyncIterator()` methods which allow easy
  iteration of input streams in consecutive chunks of bytes, either with a
  for-of loop or a for-await-of loop. [Sonny Piers]

- DBus proxy wrapper classes now have a static `newAsync()` method, which
  returns a Promise that resolves to an instance of the proxy wrapper class on
  which `initAsync()` has completed. [Marco Trevisan]

- DBus property getters can now return GLib.Variant instances directly, if they
  have the correct type, instead of returning JS values and having them be
  packed into GLib.Variants. [Andy Holmes]

- Dramatic performance improvements in the legacy `imports.signals` module,
  which has also gained a `connectAfter()` method that works like the same-named
  method in GObject signals. (However, the signals module remains legacy, and is
  mostly there for historical reasons with GNOME Shell. Don't use it in new
  code.) [Marco Trevisan]

- For years we have had a typo in `Cairo.LineCap.SQUARE`, incorrectly naming it
  `SQUASH`. This is fixed and the typoed name is retained as an alias. [Vítor
  Vasconcellos]

- Also in Cairo, the value of `Cairo.Format.RGB16_565` was wrong. This was fixed
  with a breaking change, because anyone using it was probably already not
  getting the results they expected. [Vítor Vasconcellos]

- Continuing the Cairo improvements, SVG surfaces have gained
  `Cairo.SVGSurface.prototype.finish()` and `Cairo.SVGSurface.prototype.flush()`
  because previously SVG surfaces were only written to disk when the SVGSurface
  object was garbage collected, making it uncertain to rely on them. [tuberry]

- The debugger now handles Symbol values and Symbol property keys of objects.
  Previously, these were not displayed correctly. [Philip Chimento]

- Various type-safety refactors [Marco Trevisan]
