This fixes a regression in 1.1.1/1.1.2 where our PACKAGING docs mention
using `fetch-zig-cache.sh` but it was removed. This commit adds it back,
generating its contents from the build.zig.zon file (via zon2nix which
we use for our Nix packaging).
For packagers, there are no dependency changes: you still need Zig and
POSIX sh. For release time, Ghostty has a new dependency on `jq` but
otherwise the release process is the same. The check-zig-cache.sh script
is updated to generate the new build.zig.zon.txt file.
Adds buildtime and comptime checks to make sure that Blueprints/UI files
are availble and correctly formed. Will also compile Blueprints to UI
files so that they are available to GTK code.
This brings the internal package more in line with how the nixpkgs
package is built. It also handles recursive dependencies better than the
current system.
`zig-gobject` is a set of GObject bindings that allow us to write
GTK-facing code in Zig instead of getting hands dirty with C.
It's been tested and refined in real-life applications and several
GTK contributors agree that it is a marked improvement over using
the C API directly, such as allowing method call syntax and avoiding
many manual `@ptrCast`s.
This commit doesn't actually contain any changes to our preexisting
GTK code — the migration process is intended to begin in chunks,
firstly in self-contained components (e.g. the header bar, overlays,
etc.), and then full-scale migration can begin when we remove non-Adwaita
GTK builds for 1.2. (After all, why port code that you'll remove later
either way?)
More complete coverage of the Symbols For Legacy Computing block,
including characters from Unicode 16.0.
Pixman and the web canvas impl for Canvas have been removed in favor of
z2d for drawing, since it has a nicer API with more powerful methods,
and is in Zig with no specific platform optimizations so should compile
to wasm no problem.
Fixes#2171
ZLS has caused us issues in our Nix shell before and I noted when we
first added it that we probably shouldn't. We now pin to release
versions of Zig so I think its reasonable to expect developers to have
ZLS installed themselves with the proper version or not use it at all.
