Version 1.89.1
--------------

- This is the alpha release for the GNOME 51 cycle.

- Cairo.Context has gained a fontExtents() method, which returns a property bag
  with properties corresponding to the fields of `cairo_font_extents_t`, and a
  textPath() method, which renders text as a path. Also, getFontMatrix() and
  setFontMatrix() which return and accept property bags corresponding to the
  fields of `cairo_matrix_t`. All of these are thanks to Daniel Wood.

- Gtk.Widget has gained static methods add_binding(), add_binding_action(), and
  add_binding_signal() (GTK 4 only), for conveniently adding keyboard shortcuts
  to call a function, invoke a Gtk.ShortcutAction, or emit a signal. Florian
  Müllner added these.

- Some work-in-progress has been merged, making GNOME platform objects more
  transparent to the JS garbage collector so that it can make better choices
  about when to collect. This has the additional bonus of making the info from
  System.dumpMemoryInfo (visible in Sysprof or dumped to a JSON file) more
  accurate.
  Tim Chevalier implemented this work, which is being sponsored by Igalia and is
  a prerequisite for removing the Big Hammer workaround.

- Backwards-incompatible change: Creating a GObject.Interface no longer installs
  its methods as unbound static methods on the constructor. This was based on an
  old, nonstandard custom of "generic methods" from the old Mozilla days and
  modern JS doesn't work like that.
  Additionally, this never worked as you might expect: `Interface.method(obj)`
  would not call obj's implementation of the interface method, but Interface's
  default implementation, which might do nothing or throw NotImplementedError.
  The only thing it was good for was slightly shorter syntax when chaining up to
  the default implementation. If you were using it that way, here's how to
  migrate your code:

      class MyClass extends GObject.Object {
          static [GObject.Implements] = [MyInterface];
          static { GObject.registerClass(MyClass); }
          myMethod() {
              return MyInterface.myMethod(this);  // OLD
              return MyInterface.prototype.myMethod.call(this);  // NEW
          }
      }
