Updated src/fe-gtk/meson.build to always resolve gtk_dep from dependency('gtk+-3.0', version: '>= 3.22'), removed the GTK2 fallback branch and -DHAVE_GTK2, and kept AppIndicator detection guarded under host_machine.system() != 'windows' as requested. The GTK X11 helper dep is now unconditionally checked within that same non-Windows block (no gtk3 toggle).
Updated Meson summary output to explicitly report the GTK frontend as GTK+ 3.22+ when enabled, reinforcing that GTK2 builds are no longer expected.
Added a new AppStream release block for 2.18.0-pre1 and restored the prior 2.17.4 release record, so release history remains additive.
Fixed Debian changelog handling by prepending a new pre-release entry 2.18.0~pre1-1 and restoring the historical 2.17.0-1 / 2.17.0-0 entries unchanged.
Since hexchat already depends on GLib, it's better to use GProxyResolver
instead. This might use libproxy, or not, as appropriate.
P.S. This removes a memory safety issue because proxy_list is allocated
using malloc(), not g_malloc(), and therefore using g_strfreev() is
incorrect. The proper way to free the proxy list returned by libproxy
is to use px_proxy_factory_free_proxies() (but nobody does that because
it was added in libproxy 0.4.16, which is somewhat recent).
GDB is usually able to debug executables with ASLR by temporarily
disabling ASLR when running that executable. This is only supported on
Linux. On Windows, GDB cannot debug ASLR executables.
This removes the dynamicbase linker flag on Windows for debug builds in
order to be able to debug that executable later.
Hardening an executable with ASLR is important for release builds, but
for debug builds being able to debug is much more important.
Quick rundown of benefits:
- Much faster:
- Autotools (with autogen): 22 seconds
- Meson: 7 seconds
- Meson (with ccache): 2 seconds
- Simpler:
- ~1000 lines smaller
- Single simple language
- Potentially better Windows (Visual Studio) support
What is not done:
- Complete Windows support
- OSX support (easy)
