Version 1.83.4
--------------

- Brown bag release to fix codespell error in NEWS file.

Version 1.83.3
--------------

- The gjs-console REPL is now asynchronous. You can, for example, create a
  window with a button, connect a signal handler, click the button, and the
  signal handler will run when the button is clicked. Previously, the signal
  handler wouldn't run because it was blocked by the console waiting for input.
  This doesn't yet make `await` work in the console, but it is a prerequisite.

- Usually for C APIs that use GValue, GJS transparently substitutes native JS
  values. However, in some cases you need to use the GObject.Value wrapper in
  JS. There is now a new API to construct GObject.Value. Instead of constructing
  an empty Value object, calling `init()` with the type, and then `set_...` to
  fill it, you can now do it in one: `new GObject.Value(String, 'a string')`.
  (The old way still works.)
