Version 0.3 (03-Jul-2009)
-------------------------

Changes:
    - DBus support
      At a high level there are three pieces. First, the "gjs-dbus" library is
      a C support library for DBus.  Second, the modules/dbus*.[ch] implement
      parts of the JavaScript API in C.  Third, the modules/dbus.js file fills
      out the rest of the JavaScript API and implementation.
    - Support simple fields for boxed types
    - Support "copy construction" of boxed types
    - Support simple structures not registered as boxed
      - Allow access to nested structures
      - Allow direct assignment to nested structure fields
      - Allow enum and flag structure fields
      - Allow creating boxed wrapper without copy
    - Support for non-default constructor (i.e. constructors like
      GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file(file))
    - Add a Lang.bind function which binds the meaning of 'this'
    - Add an interactive console gjs-console
    - Allow code in directory modules (i.e. the code should reside in
      __init__.js files)
    - Fix handling of enum/flags return values
    - Handle non-gobject-registered flags
    - Add Tweener.registerSpecialProperty to tweener module
    - Add profiler for javascript code
    - Add gjs_context_get_all and gjs_dumpstack - useful to invoke from a
      debugger such as gdb
    - Support GHashTable
      - GHashTable return values/out parameters
      - Support GHashTable 'in' parameters
      - Convert JSON-style object to a GHashTable
    - Add support for UNIX shebang (i.e. #!/usr/bin/gjs-console)
    - Support new introspection short/ushort type tags
    - Support GI_TYPE_TAG_FILENAME
    - Improve support for machine-dependent integer types and arrays of
      integers
    - Fix several memory leaks
