 Hi everyone!
 
-This release was supposed to be a minor one and to be released a lot sooner. However, as the time passed, `gtk-rs` developers weren't happy with what they had. There was always that little (but still wonderful) thing missing that we absolutely wanted to have. Suddenly, huges improvements came in and breaking changes as well. And this, is exactly how you end up from some very little and quicky release to medium and huge one.

+date: 2022-01-16 17:00:00 +0000
+---
+
+
+Hi everyone! Happy new year!
+
+With this new year comes a new [gtk-rs][gtk-rs] release! As usual, a lot of improvements have been made. Let's check them out!
+
+One important change: the minimum supported rust version is now **1.56**.
+
+### Minimum and latest supported versions of the underlying C libraries
+
+The minimum supported versions of the underlying C libraries have not changed compared to last release but support for newer versions was added:
+
+ * GLib/GObject/GIO: minimum 2.48, latest 2.72
+ * Pango/PangoCairo: minimum 1.38, latest 1.52
+ * gdk-pixbuf: minimum 2.32, latest 2.42
+ * cairo: minimum 1.14, latest 1.16
+ * graphene: minimum 1.10
+ * ATK: minimum 2.18, latest 2.38
+ * GTK3: minimum 3.18, latest, 3.24.9
+ * GTK4: minimum 4.0, latest 4.6
+
+### Changes to derive macro names
+
+All [derive](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/index.html#derives) and [attribute](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/index.html#attributes) macros are named more consistently now. Instead of e.g. `glib::GBoxed`, the new name is just `glib::Boxed` and misses the additional `G`, which would be redundant namespacing.
+
+### GLib Variant API improvements and derive macro
+
+The [`glib::Variant`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/variant/struct.Variant.html) API was improved a lot in this release. `Variant` is a type that allows to store structured data built from basic types in a way that can be serialized into binary data efficiently.
+
+A lot of API that was missing in previous releases was added, including API for efficient conversion from/to slices of basic types, strings and other container types. The existing conversion APIs were optimized and cleaned up.
+
+To make it easier to handle custom structs (and soon [enums](https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs-core/pull/434)), a [derive macro](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/derive.Variant.html) was added that allows to directly convert between a custom Rust type and a `Variant` and back.
+
+```rust
+use glib::prelude::*;
+
+#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq, glib::Variant)]
+struct Foo {
+    some_string: String,
+    some_int: i32,
+}
+
+let v = Foo { some_string: String::from("bar"), some_int: 1 };
+let var = v.to_variant();
+assert_eq!(var.get::<Foo>(), Some(v));
+```
+
+By using the derive macro, structured data can be handled automatically instead of manually accessing each of the individual parts of the data. This can be helpful for sending structured data over DBus via the `gio` DBus API, or for dealing with [`gio::Settings`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/gio/struct.Settings.html) or for more complex states/values used in [`gio::Action`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/gio/struct.Action.html).
+
+### Stack allocated types and reducing heap allocations
+
+Various types that are usually stack-allocated in C were previously heap-allocated in the Rust bindings. With this release, these values are also stack-allocated when used from Rust unless explicitly heap-allocated, e.g. by explicitly placing them into a `Box`.
+
+Examples for this are all the [`graphene`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/graphene/index.html) types (vectors, matrices, etc), which should make calculations considerably more efficient, types like [`gdk::Rectangle`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/0.4/docs/gdk4/struct.Rectangle.html) and [`gdk::RGBA`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/0.4/docs/gdk4/struct.RGBA.html), and [`gtk::TreeIter`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/0.4/docs/gtk4/struct.TreeIter.html).
+
+Overall this brings performance of applications using the Rust bindings even closer to the same code in C.
+
+### Main context API improvements
+
+When spawning non-`Send` [futures](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.MainContext.html#method.spawn_local) or [closures](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.MainContext.html#method.invoke_local), or attaching the main context [channel](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.Receiver.html#method.attach) to the [`glib::MainContext`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.MainContext.html), it is not necessary anymore to have the main context acquired before. This was a common cause of confusion and this constraint was relaxed now. Instead it is only required that that thread default main context is not owned by a different thread yet, and if ownership is moved to a different thread at some point then it will panic at runtime.
+
+Additionally the API for pushing a main context as the [thread default](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.MainContext.html#method.with_thread_default) was refactored to reduce the risk of misusage. Instead of returning a guard value, it can only be used via a closure now to ensure proper nesting of thread default main contexts.
+
+```rust
+let ctx = glib::MainContext::new();
+ctx.with_thread_default(|| {
+    // do something with `ctx` being the thread default main context.
+}).expect("Main context already owned by another thread");
+```
+
+### GLib string builder
+
+`glib::String` was renamed to [`glib::GStringBuilder`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/git/docs/glib/struct.GStringBuilder.html) to avoid confusion with `glib::GString` and to make it clearer that this is meant for building `NUL`-terminated C strings.
+
+In addition the API was simplified considerably:
+ * All APIs that allowed to create invalid UTF-8 were removed, leaving only safe APIs to build UTF-8 strings.
+ * `GStringBuilder` directly dereferences into `&str`, so all `&str` API can be used on it.
+ * `GStringBuilder` implements the `std::fmt::Write` trait, which allows making use of various `std` Rust API. For example `write!(&mut builder, "some format string {}", some_value)` can be used directly to write formatted strings into the string builder.
+
+### Multiple improvements on `glib::ObjectExt`
+
+ - `ObjectExt::property` now return the type T directly instead of a `glib::Value` and panics in case the property is not readable or the wrong type is provided. 
+ - `ObjectExt::set_property` now panics in case the property is not writeable or doesn't exists
+ - `ObjectExt::emit_by_name` expects you to pass in the type T for the returned value by the signal. If the signal doesn't return anything, you can use `some_obj.emit_by_name::<()>("some_signal", &[]);`  and also panics if the signal doesn't exists.
+
+**Before**:
+
+```rust
+object.property("some_property").unwrap().get::<T>().unwrap();
+object.set_property("some_property", &some_value).unwrap();
+// signal that returns nothing
+object.emit_by_name("some_signal").unwrap();
+// signal that returns T
+let some_value = object.emit_by_name("some_signal").unwrap().unwrap().get::<T>().unwrap();
+```
+
+**After**:
+
+```rust
+object.property::<T>("some_property");
+object.set_property("some_property", &some_value);
+object.emit_by_name::<()>("some_signal");
+let some_value = object.emit_by_name::<T>("some_signal");
+```
+
+A `ObjectExt::try_*` variant exists if you want the old behaviour. As most of the application code unwraps the returned results, this should be one of the slight but nice improvements of the overall API.
+
+### Bindings wrapper types memory representation optimization
+
+All heap-allocated bindings types do now have a memory representation that is equivalent to the underlying raw C pointer. In addition to reducing memory usage compared to before, this also allows for other optimizations and e.g allows to borrow values from C storage in a few places instead of creating copies or increasing their reference count (e.g. in [`glib::PtrSlice`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/collections/struct.PtrSlice.html)).
+
+### GLib collection types
+
+While not used widely yet, a new [`glib::collections`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/collections/index.html) module was added that provides more efficient access to [slices](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/collections/struct.Slice.html), [pointer slices](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/collections/struct.PtrSlice.html) and [linked lists](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/collections/struct.PtrSlice.html) allocated from C. This is similar to the older [`glib::GString`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.GString.html) type, which represents an UTF-8 encoded, `NUL`-terminated C string allocated with the GLib allocator.
+
+Previously (and still for most API), these were converted from/to native Rust types at the FFI boundary, which often caused unnecessary re-allocations and memory copies. In the next release we're trying to move even more API to these new collection types for further performance improvements, and for only doing conversions between Rust and C types when actually necessary.
+
+### Cancelling futures spawned on the GLib main context
+
+[Spawning](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.MainContext.html#method.spawn) futures on the main context now returns the source id. This allows to get access to the underlying [`glib::Source`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.MainContext.html#method.find_source_by_id) and to [cancel](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/struct.Source.html#method.destroy) the future before completion.
+
+Cancelling the future by this, or by other API that drops it (e.g. by selecting on two futures and only processing the first that resolves), will cancel all asynchronous operations performed by them at the next opportunity.
+
+### Dynamic signal connections
+
+A new [`glib::closure`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/macro.closure.html) and [`glib::closure_local`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/macro.closure_local.html) was added that allows to create a [`glib::Closure`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.16/docs/glib/closure/struct.Closure.html) from a Rust closure while automatically unpacking argument [`glib::Value`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/value/struct.Value.html)s to their native Rust types and packing the return value.
+
+While this doesn't sound too exciting, it makes connecting to signals that have no static bindings more convenient.
+
+**Before**:
+
+```rust
+obj.connect(
+    "notify", false,
+    |args| {
+        let _obj = args[0].get::<glib::Object>().unwrap();
+        let pspec = args[1].get::<glib::ParamSpec>().unwrap();
+        println!("property notify: {}", pspec.name());
+    });
+```
+
+**After**:
+
+```rust
+obj.connect_closure(
+    "notify", false,
+    glib::closure_local!(|_obj: glib::Object, pspec: glib::ParamSpec| {
+        println!("property notify: {}", pspec.name());
+    }));
+```
+
+The macros support the same syntax as the [`glib::clone`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/macro.clone.html) macro for creating strong/weak references, plus a [watch](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/macro.closure.html#object-watching) feature that automatically disconnects the closure once the watched object disappears.
+
+### Object subclassing improvements
+
+`glib::ParamSpecOverride` has now two helper constructors to create an override of a class property or an interface property. For example, overriding the `hadjustment` property of the `gtk::Scrollable` interface can be done with `ParamSpecOverride::for_interface::<gtk::Scrollable>("hadjustment")`.
+
+### Passing Cairo image surfaces to other threads and getting owned access to its data
+
+`Cairo` image surfaces [can now be converted](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/cairo/struct.ImageSurface.html#method.take_data) to an owned value that behaves like an `&mut [u8]` and that can be safely sent to different threads. This allows both sending `Cairo` image surfaces to other threads safely as well as their underlying data, e.g. to fill an image surface from a compressed image via the [image](https://crates.io/crates/image) crate or saving the contents of an image surface to compressed data from a different thread.
+
+```rust
+let surface =  cairo::ImageSurface::create(cairo::Format:ARgb32, 320, 240).except("Failed to allocate memory");
+// Use Cairo API on the `surface`.
+// [...]
+let data = surface.take_data().expect("Not the unique owner of the surface");
+// Send `data` to another thread or otherwise treat it as a `&mut [u8]`.
+// [...]
+let surface = data.into_inner();
+// Use the `surface` with Cairo APIs again.
+```
+
+This solves one of the common problems when using `Cairo` in multi-threaded applications.
+
+### GIO bindings improvements
+
+The gio bindings saw many additions and improvements. Among other things it is now possible to implement the [`gio::Initable`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/gio/struct.Initable.html) interface, the [`gio::IOExtension`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/gio/struct.IOExtension.html) API is now available, and the [`gio::Task`](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/gio/struct.Task.html) bindings have been reworked to address soundness issues. More improvements to the `gio::Task` bindings are necessary for them to become nice to use from Rust.
+
+### Gdkwayland
+
+In this release, we generated the bindings for `gdkwayland`. You can now use the brand new [gdkwayland](https://crates.io/crates/gdkwayland) crate!
+
+### GTK3 child properties
+
+The GTK3 bindings had API added for generically [setting](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk3-rs/stable/0.15/docs/gtk/prelude/trait.ContainerExtManual.html#tymethod.child_set_property) and [getting](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk3-rs/stable/0.15/docs/gtk/prelude/trait.ContainerExtManual.html#tymethod.child_property) child properties.
+
+This allows to access child properties for which no static bindings are available and performs all checks at runtime instead of at compile time. The API works the same as the API for [setting](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/object/trait.ObjectExt.html#tymethod.set_property) and [getting](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.15/docs/glib/object/trait.ObjectExt.html#tymethod.property) object properties.
+
+### gtk4-rs and `BuilderScope`
+
+The most important feature that landed on this release is a Rust `BuilderScope` implementation thanks to one of the awesome contributions of [@jf2048][@jf2048]. This will allow applications to set callbacks/functions names in the UI file and define those in your Rust code. This only works with the CompositeTemplate macro. See the [documentations](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/docs/gtk4_macros/attr.template_callbacks.html) for how to make use of this new feature.
+
+We also added:
+
+ - Trust upstream return nullability: in other words, [gtk4][gtk4] crates trust the nullable annotations provided in the `GIR` file which replaces a bunch of returned Option and returns only T nowadays. Please open an issue if you find any regressions.
+ - GTK 4.6 support, use `v4_6` feature to unlock the new APIs.
+ - Functions that return a `glib::Value` have now a corresponding function that gets you inner value `T` directly. Note those will panic if you provide the wrong type.
+ - `GtkExpression` helpers to make their usage nicer from Rust:
+   ```rust
+   let button = gtk::Button::new();
+   button.set_label("Label property");
+
+   let label_expression = button.property_expression("label");
+   ```
+ - A bunch of fixed issues, documentation improvements and new book chapters!

+
+It's now time for a new Gtk-rs release! As usual, a lot of improvements in a lot of places but subclasses in particular got a lot of updates. Time to dive in on some improvements. Enjoy!
+
+### Update of minimum supported versions
+
+The minimum supported version of the C library of various crates was updated to the versions available in Ubuntu 18.04:
+
+ * GLib/GIO requires at least version 2.56 now and supports API up to version 2.74
+ * gdk-pixbuf requires at least version 2.36.8 and supports API up to version 2.42
+ * Pango requires at least version 1.40 and supports API up to version 1.52
+ * GTK3 requires at least version 3.22.30 and supports API up to version 3.24.30
+ * GTK4 requires at least version 4.0.0 and supports API up to version 4.8
+
+The minimum supported Rust version by all crates was updated to version 1.63.
+
+### More async support
+
+A couple of futures helper functions were added with this release that should make futures usage easier in GTK applications.
+
+ * Timeouts: `glib::future_with_timeout(Duration::from_millis(20), fut)` will resolve to the result of `fut` if it takes less than 20ms or otherwise to an error
+ * Cancellation: `gio::CancellableFuture::new(fut, cancellable)` will resolve to the future unless the `cancellable` is cancelled before that
+
+### GTK 4
+
+Along with plenty of bugfixes and small improvements, the 0.5 release of gtk4-rs brings a couple of useful features
+
+- `gsk::Transform`
+
+Most of the C functions return `NULL` which represents an identity transformation. The Rust API nowadays returns an identity 
+transformation instead of `None`
+
+- `#[gtk::CompositeTemplate]` runtime validation
+
+If used with `#[template(string=...)]` or `#[template(file=...)]` and the `xml_validation` feature is enabled, the XML content will be validated to ensure the child widgets that the code is trying to retrieve exists.
+
+- `#[gtk::test]`
+
+As GTK is single-threaded, using it in your tests is problematic as you can't initialize GTK multiple times. The new attribute macro helps with that as it runs the tests in a thread pool instead of in parallel.
+
+Details at <https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/docs/gtk4_macros/attr.test.html>
+
+- `WidgetClassSubclassExt::install_action_async`
+
+In a lot of use cases, people used to do 
+
+```rust
+klass.install_action("some_group.action", None, |widget, _, _| {
+    let ctx = glib::MainContext::default();
+    ctx.spawn_local(clone!(@weak widget => async move {
+        /// call some async function
+        widget.async_function().await;
+    }));
+})
+```
+
+The new helper function allows you to write the code above like
+
+```rust
+klass.install_action_async("some_group.action", None, |widget, _, _| async move {
+    /// call some async function
+    widget.async_function().await;
+})
+```
+Which helps avoiding the usage of the `clone` macro in some cases.
+
+- GTK 4.8 API additions which can be enabled with `v4_8`
+- Various fixes for the gdk-wayland & wayland-rs integration requiring wayland-client v0.30
+- Plenty of new examples:
+    * Gif Paintable for rendering Gifs
+    * ColumnView for displaying data in a table-like format
+    * Confetti animation
+    * Rotation / Squeezer example
+
+### `glib::Object` now has a more convenient object builder
+
+In addition to dynamic objects construction, or e.g. when implementing new GObject subclasses, via `glib::Object::new()` and related API, there is also a more convenient object builder available.
+
+```rust
+let obj = glib::Object::builder::<MyObject>()
+    .property("prop1", 123)
+    .property("prop2", "test")
+    .property("prop3", false)
+    .build();
+```
+
+This allows for slightly more idiomatic Rust code.
+
+### GIO objects completion closure doesn't need to be `Send` anymore
+
+Asynchronous operations on GIO objects previously required the completion closure to be `Send`. This is not required anymore as the objects themselves are not `Send`-able either and the operation will be completed on the current thread via the thread's own main context. This should make usage of the asynchronous operations easier from GTK applications, where all UI objects are not `Send`.
+
+As a result of this, also futures provided by GIO objects based on these asynchronous operations do not implement the `Send` trait anymore, which was wrong to begin with and caused panics at runtime in any situation where the future was actually used on different threads.
+
+### Added support for `#[derive(glib::Variant)]` for enums
+
+Starting with the previous release it was possible to derive the required trait implementations for (de)serializing Rust structs from/to `glib::Variant`s. With this release, support for enums is also added with different options for how the enum is going to be represented. Both C-style enums as well as enums with values in the variants are supported.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq, glib::Variant)]
+enum Foo {
+    MyA,
+    MyB(i32),
+    MyC { some_int: u32, some_string: String }
+}
+let v = Foo::MyC { some_int: 1, some_string: String::from("bar") };
+let var = v.to_variant();
+assert_eq!(var.child_value(0).str(), Some("my-c"));
+assert_eq!(var.get::<Foo>(), Some(v));
+```
+
+### No need to implement `Send` and `Sync` for subclasses anymore
+
+In the past it was necessary to manually implement the `Send` and `Sync` traits via an `unsafe impl` block for the object types of GObject subclasses defined in Rust.
+
+```rust
+glib::wrapper! {
+    pub struct MyObject(ObjectSubclass<imp::MyObject>);
+}
+
+unsafe impl Send for MyObject {}
+unsafe impl Sync for MyObject {}
+```
+
+This is not necessary anymore and happens automatically if the implementation struct implements both traits. Like this it is also harder to accidentally implement the traits manually although the requirements of them are not fulfilled.
+
+### Simpler subclassing for virtual methods
+
+Previously when creating a GObject subclass, all virtual methods passed the implementation struct and the object itself as arguments, e.g.
+
+```rust
+pub trait ObjectImpl {
+    fn constructed(&self, obj: &Self::Type);
+}
+```
+
+This caused a lot of confusion and was also redundant. Instead, starting with this release only the implementation struct is passed by reference, e.g.
+
+```rust
+pub trait ObjectImpl {
+    fn constructed(&self);
+}
+```
+
+In most contexts the object itself was not actually needed, so this also simplifies the code. For the cases when the object is needed, it can be retrieved via the `obj()` method on the implementation struct
+
+```rust
+impl ObjectImpl for MyObject {
+    fn constructed(&self) {
+        self.parent_constructed();
+        let obj = self.obj();
+        obj.do_something();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In a similar way it is also possible to retrieve the implementation struct from the instance via the `imp()` method. Both methods are cheap and only involve some pointer arithmetic.
+
+Additionally, to make it easy to pass around the implementation struct into e.g. closures, there is now also a reference counted wrapper around it available (`ObjectImplRef`) that can be retrieved via `imp.to_owned()` or `imp.ref_counted()`, and a weak reference variant that can be retrieved via `imp.downgrade()`. Both are working in combination with the `glib::clone!` macro, too.
+
+```rust
+impl ObjectImpl for MyObject {
+    fn constructed(&self) {
+        self.parent_constructed();
+        // for a strong reference
+        self.button.connect_clicked(glib::clone!(@to-owned self as imp => move |button| {
+            imp.do_something();
+        }));
+
+        // for a weak reference
+        self.button.connect_clicked(glib::clone!(@weak self as imp => move |button| {
+            imp.do_something();
+        }));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Simpler subclassing for properties
+
+When creating properties for GObject subclasses they need to be declared beforehand via a `glib::ParamSpec`. Previously these had simple `new()` functions with lots of parameters. These still exist but it's usually more convenient to use the builder pattern to construct them, especially as most of the parameters have sensible defaults.
+
+```rust
+// Now
+let pspec = glib::ParamSpecUInt::builder("name")
+    .maximum(1000)
+    .construct()
+    .build();
+
+// Previously
+let pspec = glib::ParamSpecUInt::new("name", None, None, 0, 1000, 0, glib::ParamFlags::READWRITE | glib::ParamFlags::CONSTRUCT);
+```
+
+In a similar spirit, signal definitions are available via a builder. This was available in the previous already but usage was simplified, for example by defaulting to no signal arguments and `()` signal return type.
+
+```rust
+// Now
+let signal = glib::subclass::Signal::builder("closed").build();
+
+// Before
+let signal = glib::subclass::Signal::builder("closed", &[], glib::Type::UNIT).build();
+```
+
+### Removing `Result<>` wrapping in some functions returned values
+
+`glib::Object::new()` returned a `Result` in previous versions. However, the only way how this could potentially fail was via a programming error: properties that don't exist were tried to be passed, or values of the wrong type were set for a property. By returning a `Result`, the impression was given that this can also fail in a normal way that is supposed to be handled by the caller.
+
+As this is not the case, `glib::Object::new()` always panics if the arguments passed to it are invalid and no longer returns a `Result`.
+
+In the same spirit, `object.try_set_property()`, `object.try_property()`, `object.try_emit()` and `object.try_connect()` do not exist any longer and only the panicking variants are left as the only way they could fail was if invalid arguments are provided.
+
+### Transform functions for property bindings are now supported
+
+Object property bindings allow for transform functions to be defined, which convert the property value to something else for the other object whenever it changes. Previously these were defined on the generic `glib::Value` type, but as the types are generally fixed and known in advance it is now possible to define them directly with the correct types.
+
+```rust
+source
+    .bind_property("name", &target, "name")
+    .flags(crate::BindingFlags::SYNC_CREATE)
+    .transform_to(|_binding, value: &str| Some(format!("{} World", value)))
+    .transform_from(|_binding, value: &str| Some(format!("{} World", value)))
+    .build();
+```
+
+If the types don't match then this is considered a programming error and will panic at runtime.
+
+The old way of defining transform functions via `glib::Value` is still available via new functions
+
+```rust
+source
+    .bind_property("name", &target, "name")
+    .flags(crate::BindingFlags::SYNC_CREATE)
+    .transform_to_with_values(|_binding, value| {
+        let value = value.get::<&str>().unwrap();
+        Some(format!("{} World", value).to_value())
+    })
+    .transform_from_with_values(|_binding, value| {
+        let value = value.get::<&str>().unwrap();
+        Some(format!("{} World", value).to_value())
+    })
+    .build();
+```
+
+### Construct `SimpleAction` with `ActionEntryBuilder`
+
+It is now possible to use `gio::ActionEntryBuilder` to construct a `gio::SimpleAction`, the advantage of using that is the `gio::ActionMap` type is passed as a first parameter to the `activate` callback and so avoids the usage of the `clone!` macro.
+
+Before:
+```rust
+let action = gio::SimpleAction::new("some_action", None);
+action.connect_activate(clone!(@weak some_obj => move |_, _| {
+     // Do something
+});
+actions_group.add_action(&action);
+```
+
+After
+```rust
+let action = gio::ActionEntry::builder("some_action").activate(move |some_obj: &SomeType, _, _| {
+    // Do something
+}).build();
+// It is safe to `unwrap` as we don't pass any parameter type that requires validation
+actions_group.add_action_entries([action]).unwrap();
+```

+---
+
+It's now time for a new gtk-rs release!
+
+As you might've noticed, the `gtk3-rs` projects are getting less and less attention and we intend to deprecate them in one of the future releases. Therefore, we recommend to anyone who didn't upgrade to GTK4 to do it now. `gtk3-rs` will get further releases in the foreseeable future to keep up with `gtk-rs-core`, but no development effort is going to be directed towards it. This is already the de-facto situation for more than a year. Additionally, the GTK3 versions of various [externally maintained](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Rust) bindings will most likely not get any further releases.
+
+In addition to `gtk-rs`, various externally maintained bindings also had a new release. For `gstreamer-rs` you can find the CHANGELOG of the 0.20 release [here](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-rs/-/blob/main/gstreamer/CHANGELOG.md#0200-2023-02-10). Most bindings [maintained as part of GNOME](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Rust) were also updated.
+
+On this note, time to go through the major changes of this release. Enjoy!
+
+## Increase of the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
+
+With this release, Rust 1.64 is the minimum version required to compile and use the bindings.
+
+## New `#[properties]` macro to make using properties in `glib::Object` subclasses simpler
+
+The `glib::Properties` macro is now available! It can be used to define object properties straight from the implementation struct definition. The macro will:
+ - define all the necessary `ParamSpec`s, with the required flags
+ - generate, for each property, a default getter/setter on the wrapper type
+ - generate, for each property, a `notify_$property` method on the wrapper type
+ - generate the methods `derived_properties` `derived_property` and `derived_set_property`, which can be directly called inside your overrides for `ObjectImpl` methods `properties`, `property` and `set_property`.
+
+### Quick example
+
+```
+#[derive(Properties)]
+#[properties(wrapper_type = super::Author)]
+pub struct Author {
+    #[property(get, set)]
+    name: RefCell<String>,
+}
+```
+
+This is the result of months of work, and will greatly improve the gtk-rs ecosystem by reducing some of the most prevalent boilerplate and making the platform more welcoming.
+
+Be sure to check out the [documentation](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/latest/docs/glib/derive.Properties.html) for more info.
+
+## Direct conversions to `glib::Value` and `glib::Variant` via `From`
+
+Previously conversions required using the custom `ToValue` and `ToVariant` traits, which is not very intuitive. Now it's possible to directly use the `From` trait, i.e. `123i32.to_value()` could become `123i32.into()`.
+
+In addition to improving usability this also avoids copies of the values in a few cases.
+
+## `gdk_pixbuf` subclassing support
+
+Support for subclassing various `gdk_pixbuf` types was added. This allows writing custom pixbuf loaders in Rust and hopefully opens the way for replacing the old C-based PNG/JPEG/GIF pixbuf loaders with Rust versions to improve image loading in all GTK/GNOME applications.
+
+## New `glib::CastNone` convenience trait
+
+In many cases casting failures of `Option`al values should be treated as `None`. For this purpose a new convenience trait was introduced, which provides an `and_downcast()` method.
+
+```rust
+let widget: Option<Widget> = list_item.child();
+
+// Without using `CastNone`
+let label = widget.unwrap().downcast::<gtk::Label>().unwrap();
+
+// Using `CastNone` we can avoid the first `unwrap()` call
+let label = widget.and_downcast::<gtk::Label>().unwrap();
+```
+
+## New `glib::function_name!` macro
+
+While a huge hack, until Rust supports this directly, this macro will allow to get the name of the current function as a `&'static str`. Or to be more exact, the whole path to the current function.
+
+This is now used in the GLib structured logging API to provide the function name (in addition to the file name, line number and other metadata) and `glib::BoolError` to provide better location information.
+
+## `glib::GStr`, `glib::List`, `glib::PtrSlice`, `glib::Slice`, `glib::StrV` and related native GLib types
+
+New API was added to all the aforementioned types to make dealing with them more natural in Rust. Using them instead of the native Rust types, e.g. `Vec`, allows for fewer copies when passing the FFI boundary.
+
+Various bindings were also switched to these types for the same reason, and it is planned for the next release(s) to move even more API to it.
+
+In addition two new traits were introduced for dealing with GLib strings and string arrays more efficiently: `IntoGStr` and `IntoStrV`. Both allow passing a plain `&str` or an already `NUL`-terminated `&GStr`, or a `Vec<String>` or an already `NUL`-terminated `glib::StrV` to functions and internally the function would either do a copy or directly pass the value to the C function. Up to a certain size the copy would by done on the stack, afterwards a temporary heap copy is made. Compared to the before, when temporary heap copies were made unconditionally, this allows for a lot fewer temporary heap allocations.
+
+And lastly, `glib::GString` is now storing strings up to a certain size inline without requiring a heap allocation. New `GString`s can be created via the `gformat!` macro similar to the `format!` macro from `std`.
+
+## Various code generation improvements
+
+All over the bindings, various small code generation improvements were applied which reduced the size of the generated code and/or improved the performance.
+
+For example:
+ - Various trivial functions were explicitly marked as `#[inline]` to give the compiler yet another hint to actually inline them, and improve inlining across crate boundaries, which then causes the bindings to be completely optimized away in most cases.
+ - In many places, where it made sense, assertions were converted to `debug_assert!`s to reduce the number of places where stack unwinding could happen in release builds.
+ - The representation of various types was improved, e.g. by removing unnecessary `Option` wrapping around values or replacing unneeded references with `PhantomData` with the same lifetime.
+ - Memory initialized by C functions was converted from using zero-initialization to `MaybeUninit`.
+ - The number of redundant checks was reduced and `unsafe` variants of functions that skip the checks were added.
+ - All object builder types were changed to use `glib::Object::builder()`, which reduces stack usage dramatically in addition to requiring fewer value copies.
+
+## New `glib::Object` constructors
+
+The old `Object::new()` constructor that took a slice of property name / value pairs was removed. Instead, `Object::new()` takes no parameters and creates a new object with default property values.
+
+For creating a new object with non-default property values, use `Object::builder()`. It provides a much nicer API and also allows for better code generation and fewer value copies.
+
+```rust
+// before
+let obj = glib::Object::new::<MyObject>(&[("a", &123i32), ("b", &"some string")]);
+// after
+let obj = glib::Object::builder::<MyObject>()
+    .property("a", 123i32)
+    .property("b", "some string")
+    .build();
+```
+
+## `gio::Application::run()` returns an `ExitCode`
+
+Instead of returning a plain `i32`, `gio::Application::run()` now returns an `ExitCode` type. This can be directly returned from the `main()` function as it implements the `Termination` trait, making it much easier to correctly propagate application exit codes.
+
+## GTK4 4.10 API additions
+
+The GTK4 bindings were updated to include all the new APIs introduced by the upcoming GTK 4.10 release. These new APIs are available via the `v4_10` feature flag. Note that they are **not stable** and are subject to change if the underlying C API happens to change before the 4.10.0 release.
+
+The minimum supported GTK version stays at 4.0.0.
+
+## Add Blueprint UI definition support
+
+[Blueprint](https://jwestman.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/blueprint-compiler/) is a new markup language for defining GTK4 UIs. The `#[template]` macro can now accept Blueprint UI definitions in addition to the old XML-based UI definitions. Doing so requires `blueprint-compiler` to be available during compilation.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Default, gtk::CompositeTemplate)]
+#[template(string = "
+template MyWidget : Widget {
+    Label label {
+        label: 'foobar';
+    }
+    Label my_label2 {
+        label: 'foobaz';
+    }
+}
+")]
+pub struct MyWidget {
+    #[template_child]
+    pub label: TemplateChild<gtk::Label>,
+    #[template_child(id = "my_label2")]
+    pub label2: gtk::TemplateChild<gtk::Label>,
+}
+```
+
+You can also copy the example from <https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/releases/tag/0.6.0>.
+
+## Better mapping of C ownership transfer
+
+Previously various functions that took ownership of their parameters still used references in the bindings. This required an unnecessary copy to be made in the worst case, and in the best case made it less clear that ownership of the object is given away.
+
+In this release, functions are taking various arguments by value in more places.
+
+## Spawning of blocking functions on the `glib::MainContext`
+
+`gio::spawn_blocking()` was added, which allows to spawn blocking functions on an internal threadpool and retrieve their results as a `Future` from the `glib::MainContext`. This is useful for doing blocking / CPU intensive work in the background and when the results are available to handle them on the application's main thread.
+
+As part of this work, `JoinHandle`-style types were also added to `glib::MainContext::spawn()` and related functions for spawning `Future`s on the main context, and to `glib::ThreadPool` for spawning functions on a custom thread pool and collecting their results.

+---
+
+
+It is time again for a new gtk-rs release!
+
+If you have been watching our crates on crates.io closely or if you have attended GUADEC you may already have noticed that we have released new versions of the gtk-rs crates.
+
+The new versions contain less breaking changes than some of our previous releases, so updating will be easier. The release however does include some nice improvements that can simplify your application as well as support the latest API additions of the underlying libraries.
+
+As anticipated in the previous release, this will likely be the last release of the gtk3-rs bindings and we recommend to everyone to upgrade to GTK4. If you require gtk3-rs to keep up with new versions of gtk-rs-core please consider volunteering to help with maintenance of the project.
+
+## Increase of the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
+
+With this release, Rust 1.70 is the minimum version required to compile and use the bindings.
+
+## Supported versions
+
+- glib/gio: from version 2.56 to 2.78
+- cairo: 1.16
+- pango/pangocairo: from version 1.40 to the to be released 1.52
+- gdk-pixbuf: from version 2.36 to 2.42
+- graphene: from version 1.10 to 1.12
+- gtk4: from 4.0 to 4.12 with minimal support of the upcoming 4.14 release
+- gtk3: from 3.22
+
+## Documentation improvements
+
+In this release, we also started a slow but steady path towards automatically generating subclassing traits. The first step is to parse the corresponding virtual methods data from the GIR file and embed the documentation for these functions to their corresponding Rust functions like we do for normal functions/methods/types.
+
+See <https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/docs/gtk4/subclass/widget/trait.WidgetImpl.html#method.keynav_failed>
+
+We also now embed the documentation for Class methods. See <https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/docs/gtk4/subclass/widget/trait.WidgetClassExt.html#method.install_property_action>
+
+Last but not least, libraries depending on gtk-rs libraries can now have their documentation [published in docs.rs](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/) by adding the following to your Cargo.toml.
+
+```toml
+[package.metadata.docs.rs]
+all-features = true
+rustc-args = ["--cfg", "docsrs"]
+rustdoc-args = ["--cfg", "docsrs"]
+features = []
+```
+
+
+## Switch to bitflags 2.0
+
+With this release we switched to version 2 of the  [bitflags](https://crates.io/crates/bitflags) crate. While we regularly update our dependencies to the latest version, this is of particular note since flag types are often used in glib and GTK API.
+
+We also re-export `bitflags` and `once_cell` from the `glib` crate so you can use them without directly depending on them.
+
+## gtk-rs-core
+
+### New `glib::derived_properties` macro
+
+With the `glib::Properties` derive macro added in the last release, you still had to write these blanket functions manually
+
+```rust
+impl ObjectImpl for T {
+    fn properties() -> &'static [glib::ParamSpec] {
+        Self::derived_properties()
+    }
+    fn set_property(&self, id: usize, value: &glib::Value, pspec: &glib::ParamSpec) {
+        self.derived_set_property(id, value, pspec)
+    }
+    fn property(&self, id: usize, pspec: &glib::ParamSpec) -> glib::Value {
+        self.derived_property(id, pspec)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now you can replace that code with
+
+```rust
+#[glib::derived_properties]
+impl ObjectImpl for T {}
+```
+
+### Replacement of `glib::Continue` / `glib::Inhibit`
+
+These two types were a bit difficult to understand, as you had to pass a boolean `glib::Continue(true)` /  `glib::Inhibit(false)`. We replaced them with new enums
+
+```rust
+glib::Continue(true) -> glib::ControlFlow::Continue
+glib::Continue(false) -> glib::ControlFlow::Break
+glib::Inhibit(true) -> glib::Propagation::Stop
+glib::Inhibit(false) -> glib::Propagation::Proceed
+```
+
+Making the meaning of each value clearer to the developer. This should be the most annoying change you need to do during the update to this release.
+
+### Typed constructors
+
+In the past we had a bunch of constructors taking `glib::Type` as a parameter instead of `T: impl StaticType` / `T: impl IsA<O>`. For this release, we cleaned up several of those constructors.
+
+```rust
+let model = gio::ListStore::new(SomeObject::static_type()); // before
+let model = gio::ListStore::new::<SomeObject>(); // after
+let model = gio::ListStore::with_type(SomeObject::static_type()); // is available for specific use cases
+```
+
+Changed constructors:
+
+- `glib::SignalGroup`
+- `glib::FlagsClass`
+- `glib::EnumClass`
+
+### New `glib::ValueDelegate` macro
+
+Let's say you want to create a wrapper around some type, but you want to retain `ToValue`, `FromValue`, and `HasParamSpec` implementations, which are especially necessary when you want to use a type as a property. This is where the `glib::ValueDelegate` macro comes in. Instead of having to manually implement the following:
+
+```rust
+pub struct Uid(String);
+
+impl glib::types::StaticType for Uid {
+    fn static_type() -> glib::types::Type {
+        <String as glib::types::StaticType>::static_type()
+    }
+}
+
+impl glib::value::ToValue for Uid {
+    fn to_value(&self) -> glib::value::Value {
+        glib::value::ToValue::to_value(&self.0)
+    }
+
+    fn value_type(&self) -> glib::types::Type {
+        glib::value::ToValue::value_type(&self.0)
+    }
+}
+
+impl From<Uid> for glib::value::Value {
+    fn from(uid: Uid) -> Self {
+        glib::value::Value::from(uid.0)
+    }
+}
+
+unsafe impl<'a> glib::value::FromValue<'a> for Uid {
+    type Checker = <String as glib::value::FromValue<'a>>::Checker;
+    unsafe fn from_value(value: &'a glib::value::Value) -> Self {
+        Uid(<String as glib::value::FromValue<'a>>::from_value(value))
+    }
+}
+
+impl glib::HasParamSpec for Uid {
+    type ParamSpec = <String as glib::HasParamSpec>::ParamSpec;
+    type SetValue = Self;
+    type BuilderFn = <String as glib::HasParamSpec>::BuilderFn;
+    fn param_spec_builder() -> Self::BuilderFn {
+        <String as glib::HasParamSpec>::param_spec_builder()
+    }
+}
+```
+
+you can simply use the macro as follows:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(glib::ValueDelegate)]
+pub struct Uid(String);
+```
+
+For more complex cases, see the [documentation](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/derive.ValueDelegate.html).
+
+You could also achieve the same by using `glib::Boxed`, but `glib::ValueDelegate` provides a thinner wrapper as it only calls to the inner implementation instead of using [`GBoxed`](https://docs.gtk.org/gobject/boxed.html). Additionally, `glib::ValueDelegate` propagates the `GType` to the wrapper instead of creating a new `GType`.
+
+## gtk4-rs
+
+The bindings now support GTK 4.12 with `v4_12` feature flag. Other than that they didn't see many user facing changes. The development mainly focused on various cleanups and bug fixes.
+
+### Blueprint support in `gtk::CompositeTemplate`
+
+You can now use [blueprint](https://jwestman.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/blueprint-compiler/) with both `string` and `file` attributes of the `gtk::CompositeTemplate` macro. This requires having the `blueprint-compiler` binary installed.
+
+```rust
+use gtk::{glib, prelude::*, subclass::prelude::*};
+
+mod imp {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[derive(Debug, Default, gtk::CompositeTemplate)]
+    #[template(string = "
+    template MyWidget : Widget {
+        Label label {
+            label: 'foobar';
+        }
+
+        Label my_label2 {
+            label: 'foobaz';
+        }
+    }
+    ")]
+    pub struct MyWidget {
+        #[template_child]
+        pub label: TemplateChild<gtk::Label>,
+        #[template_child(id = "my_label2")]
+        pub label2: gtk::TemplateChild<gtk::Label>,
+    }
+
+    #[glib::object_subclass]
+    impl ObjectSubclass for MyWidget {
+        const NAME: &'static str = "MyWidget";
+        type Type = super::MyWidget;
+        type ParentType = gtk::Widget;
+        fn class_init(klass: &mut Self::Class) {
+            klass.bind_template();
+        }
+        fn instance_init(obj: &glib::subclass::InitializingObject<Self>) {
+            obj.init_template();
+        }
+    }
+
+    impl ObjectImpl for MyWidget {
+        fn dispose(&self) {
+            while let Some(child) = self.obj().first_child() {
+                child.unparent();
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    impl WidgetImpl for MyWidget {}
+}
+
+glib::wrapper! {
+    pub struct MyWidget(ObjectSubclass<imp::MyWidget>) @extends gtk::Widget;
+}
+```
+
+### Stop using deprecated StyleContext APIs
+
+The `gtk::StyleContext::add_provider_for_display` / `gtk::StyleContext::remove_provider_for_display` functions were never supposed to be part of the `gtk::StyleContext` type. Since that type was deprecated upstream in GTK 4.10, the developers now annoyingly had to use `#[allow(deprecated)]`, even though those two functions were not deprecated at all.
+
+We have added `gtk::style_context_add_provider_for_display` / `gtk::style_context_remove_provider_for_display` as a replacement for them.

+---
+
+This is the blog post release for gtk4-rs `0.8` and gtk-rs-core `0.19`.
+
+Although this release happened a few months ago, we finally had time to finish this release blog post!
+
+This is a smaller release than usual, bringing some nice quality of life improvements.
+
+Enjoy!
+
+### gtk3
+
+Support for gtk3-rs crates was dropped. No more updates will be done on it. If you didn't yet, please migrate to gtk4-rs.
+
+### gtk-rs-core
+
+#### Removal of glib channels
+
+In this release the `glib::MainContext::channel()` function was removed, together with the corresponding sender/receiver types. In many cases this API has led to overly complicated code in applications because people tried to develop state machines via callbacks, instead of simply making use of async Rust for that purpose.
+
+Instead of using the main context channel, the new way of passing values between other threads and the main thread is by using any of the many async channel implementations. Examples for this are the [async-channel](https://docs.rs/async-channel) crate, the MPSC channels from tokio or async-std, the task/thread join handles of both, the [flume](https://docs.rs/flume) crate, ...
+
+For example, the following code:
+
+```rust
+let (sender, receiver) = glib::MainContext::channel(glib::Priority::DEFAULT);
+receiver.attach(Some(&glib::MainContext::default()), move |msg| do_things(msg));
+
+sender.send(MyMessage);
+```
+
+Could be rewritten like this with the `async-channel` crate:
+
+```rust
+let (sender, receiver) = async_channel::unbounded();
+glib::MainContext::default().spawn_local(async move {
+    while let Ok(msg) = receiver.recv().await {
+        do_things(msg);
+    }
+});
+
+sender.send_blocking(MyMessage).expect("Channel closed");
+```
+
+#### Removal of re-exported once_cell crate, use `std::cell::OnceCell` / `std::sync::OnceLock`
+
+If you need lazy initialization then `once_cell::sync::Lazy` is still useful until `LazyCell` / `LazyLock` from `std` are finalized.
+
+#### Re-organized traits in glib
+
+If you get a compiler error because of missing traits, usually the solution would be to make sure that the prelude of the crates (e.g. `gtk::prelude::*`) is imported.
+
+#### Dynamic types support
+
+Let's say you want to create a plugin to add some features or to customize some application. `object_class_dynamic`, `object_interface_dynamic `, `enum_dynamic ` and `flags_dynamic ` are macro helper attributes to make your types dynamic.
+
+```Rust
+// My object types
+#[derive(Default)]
+pub struct MyType;
+
+#[glib::object_subclass]
+#[object_subclass_dynamic]
+impl ObjectSubclass for MyType { ... }
+
+// My interfaces
+pub struct MyInterface {
+    parent: glib::gobject_ffi::GTypeInterface,
+}
+
+#[glib::object_interface]
+#[object_interface_dynamic]
+unsafe impl ObjectInterface for MyInterface { ... }
+
+// My enums
+#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, glib::Enum)]
+#[enum_type(name = "MyModuleEnum")]
+#[enum_dynamic]
+enum MyModuleEnum { ... }
+
+// My flags
+#[glib::flags(name = "MyFlags")]
+#[flags_dynamic]
+enum MyFlags { ... }
+```
+
+Your plugin code has to implement the `TypePlugin` interface or to extend the `TypeModule` type in order to register or unregister your dynamic types when the module (or plugin) is loaded or unloaded.
+
+```Rust
+#[derive(Default)]
+pub struct MyModule;
+
+#[glib::object_subclass]
+impl ObjectSubclass for MyModule { ... }
+
+impl ObjectImpl for MyModule {}
+
+impl TypePluginImpl for MyModule {}
+
+impl TypeModuleImpl for MyModule {
+    fn load(&self) -> bool {
+        // registers my plugin types as dynamic types.
+        let my_module = self.obj();
+        let type_module: &glib::TypeModule = my_module.upcast_ref();
+        MyInterface::on_implementation_load(type_module)
+            && MyType::on_implementation_load(type_module)
+            && MyEnum::on_implementation_load(type_module)
+            && MyFlags::on_implementation_load(type_module)
+    }
+
+    fn unload(&self) {
+        // marks my plugin types as unregistered.
+        let my_module = self.obj();
+        let type_module: &glib::TypeModule = my_module.upcast_ref();
+        MyFlags::on_implementation_unload(type_module);
+        MyEnum::on_implementation_unload(type_module);
+        MyType::on_implementation_unload(type_module);
+        MyInterface::on_implementation_unload(type_module);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+By default dynamic types are registered when  the system loads your plugin. In some cases, it could be useful to postpone the registration of a dynamic type on the first use. This can be done by setting `lazy_registration = true`:
+
+```Rust
+// My object types
+#[derive(Default)]
+pub struct MyType;
+
+#[glib::object_subclass]
+#[object_subclass_dynamic(lazy_registration = true)]
+impl ObjectSubclass for MyType { ... }
+```
+
+For more complex cases, see the documentation [glib::object_subclass](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/attr.object_subclass.html), [glib::object_interface](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/attr.object_interface.html), [glib::Enum](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/derive.Enum.html), [glib::flags](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/attr.flags.html), [glib::subclass::type_module::TypeModuleImpl](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/subclass/type_module/trait.TypeModuleImpl.html) and [glib::subclass::type_plugin::TypePluginImpl](https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/subclass/type_plugin/trait.TypePluginImpl.html).

+---
+
+gtk4-rs `0.9` and gtk-rs-core `0.20` were just freshly released, just in time
+for also being included in the GNOME 47 release.
+
+This release is again relatively small, mostly providing bindings to new APIs
+and improvements to the `glib::clone!` and `glib::closure!` macros to work
+better with `cargo fmt` and rust-analyzer.
+
+As usual, at the same time gstreamer-rs `0.23` and gst-plugins-rs `0.13`,
+libadwaita `0.7` and other related crates got a new release compatible with
+the new gtk4-rs and gtk-rs-core releases and their own set of changes.
+
+### gtk-rs-core
+
+#### New syntax for `glib::clone!` and `glib::closure!`
+
+The syntax for the `clone!` and `closure!` macros was updated to look more
+like valid Rust code, and as a side effect it is also handled correctly by
+`cargo fmt`, rust-analyzer and other tooling now.
+
+The old syntax is still supported but will give a deprecation warning.
+
+To get an idea of the change, what previously looked like:
+
+```rust
+clone!(@strong self as obj, @weak v => @default-return false, move |x| {
+    println!("obj: {}, v: {}, x: {}", obj, v, x);
+    true
+})
+```
+
+would now look like this:
+
+```rust
+clone!(
+    #[strong(rename_to = obj)]
+    self,
+    #[weak]
+    v,
+    #[upgrade_or]
+    false,
+    move |x| {
+        println!("obj: {}, v: {}, x: {}", obj, v, x);
+        true
+    },
+);
+```
+
+Check the [documentation](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk-rs-core/stable/0.20/docs/glib/macro.clone.html) for more details about the new syntax.
+
+#### GLib 2.82 APIs
+
+New GLib and GIO 2.82 APIs are supported with this release. GLib 2.56 is still
+the minimum version supported by the bindings.
+
+#### Trait re-organization for defining new GObject interfaces
+
+The traits for defining new GObject interfaces were slightly re-organized to
+make them more similar with the ones for defining new GObjects.
+
+Previously one would write:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
+#[repr(C)]
+pub struct MyStaticInterface {
+    parent: glib::gobject_ffi::GTypeInterface,
+}
+
+#[glib::object_interface]
+unsafe impl ObjectInterface for MyStaticInterface {
+    const NAME: &'static str = "MyStaticInterface";
+}
+```
+
+This would now become:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
+#[repr(C)]
+pub struct MyStaticInterfaceClass {
+    parent: glib::gobject_ffi::GTypeInterface,
+}
+
+unsafe impl InterfaceStruct for MyStaticInterfaceClass {
+    type Type = MyStaticInterface;
+}
+
+pub enum MyStaticInterface {}
+
+#[glib::object_interface]
+impl ObjectInterface for MyStaticInterface {
+    const NAME: &'static str = "MyStaticInterface";
+
+    type Interface = MyStaticInterfaceClass;
+}
+```
+
+While it is a bit more code, this is almost the same as for GObjects now.
+
+#### Safer borrowing of GObjects and other types from FFI code
+
+It is possible to directly borrow GObjects and other types in FFI code without
+additional refcounting or copying. In previous releases the API for that was
+completely based on pointers, which allowed to accidentally create dangling
+pointers without the compiler being able to help.
+
+```rust
+let obj = {
+    let mut ptr: *mut glib::ffi::GObject = ...;
+    let obj: &glib::Object = glib::Object::from_glib_ptr_borrow(&mut ptr);
+    obj
+};
+// At this point `obj` is pointing at a stack frame that does not exist anymore
+```
+
+Starting with this release, a reference to a pointer is used instead to avoid
+this from happening. The above code would not compile anymore. Previously the
+lifetime of the returned object would be arbitrary, now it is bound strictly
+to the lifetime of the pointer.
+
+Code using this API likely does not need any changes unless the code was
+previously wrong.
+
+### gtk4-rs
+
+#### GTK 4.16 APIs
+
+New GTK 4.16 APIs are supported with this release. GTK 4.0 is still the
+minimum version supported by the bindings.
