Vala 0.11.1 release

Hello,
this is a new release of the development series of the Vala programming language. As you can see a lot of improvement on the side of GDbus has been made. Also notice the resolution of the out parameters nightmare, guarded access is provided automatically by Vala so you don't need to check whether the out parameter is null or not.

Changes

• Require and target GLib >= 2.16.

• Guard access to out parameters to allow null arguments.
• Add support for local constants.
• Support file descriptor passing with GDBus.
• Support cached property values in GDBus clients.
• Support Cancellable parameter in GDBus clients.
• Support no-reply methods in GDBus clients and servers.
• More refactoring in the code generator.
• Many bug fixes and binding updates.

As usual, more information and download at the Vala homepage.

Vala 0.11.0 released

Hello,
after Vala 0.10.0 a new development series has begun with new features and changes. Vala 0.10 will continue to be updated when necessary. So these are the release notes of this new release:

• Use byte indices for strings. Accessing strings by index is now based on bytes, no more on characters. This is an important change for applications relying on character indices for unicode strings.
• Use uint8[] for binary data in bindings.
• Add support for parallel compilation. To take advantage of this feature it is suggested to make use of parvala, distributed together with vala under the contrib/parvala directory.
• Improve compiler performance.
• More refactoring in the code generator.
• Many bug fixes and binding updates.
