[ANN] lgi 0.7.2 Lua bindings using gobject-introspection

[Pavel Holejšovský <pavel.holejsovsky@...>]

Hello Lua hackers,

lgi 0.7.2 was released.  As usual, it is available either
from its github homepage[1], [2], luarocks (by 'luarocks install lgi'), 
or it might be available in your favorite distribution.

lgi is gobject-introspection based dynamic Lua binding to GObject
libraries. It allows using GObject-based libraries directly from Lua. If
it sounds gibberish to you, ten simply said it allows easy usage of GTK+
and similar libraries from Lua.

This is service, bugfix release.  See full changelist at the bottom.

Any comments or other feedback will be greatly appreciated, use github
issue tracker [3] for reporting bugs.

Happy hacking!
Pavel

0.7.2 NEWS:

 - fix: improper marshaling of certain APIs passing pointers to
   records.
 - fix: cairo.PsSurface.create() had incorrect signature, missing
   filename.
 - fix: If GTK initialization fails, raise Lua exception instead of
   hard-crash of calling process.
 - fix: when running test in devel tree, prefer lgi from devel tree
   instead of the installed one.
 - add: cairo.Status.to_string() API
 - fix: avoid referencing GdkRGBA in Gdk override when targetting
   Gdk2.0, which does not have GdkRGBA.
 - fix: replace GStaticRecMutex with GRecMutex to avoid compilation
   warnings.
 - fix: Gtk.Container.'child' pseudoproperty works even in Gtk2, where
   it was shadowed by internal field.
 - fix: add workaround for improperly parsed g_bytes_get_data()
   annotation.
 - fix: add workaround for incorrect annotation on
   Pango.Layout.set_attributes(), which caused memory leak.

   change, which does not accept buffer length argument any more (due
   to the newly added annotations).
