[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.17.1 - Compiler for the GObject type system

We are pleased to announce version 0.17.1 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.17.1 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.17/

Changes since 0.17.0
 * Improve assertion messages.
 * Add --enable-gobject-tracing commandline option.
 * Bug fixes and binding updates.

Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code.

gobject-introspection 1.33.2

The major change here opening for the 3.6 cycle is that thanks

that some annotation syntax is no longer recognized by the scanner.

      annotationparser: indent _parse_comment_block gtkdoc code

Alberto Mardegan (1):
      Add regression tests for GHashTable holding GValue

Bastian Winkler (2):
      tests: Add GType property TestObj:gtype
      tests: Add array marshalling test for array without length
argument

Colin Walters (3):
      update-glib-annotations: Set required environment variables
      Update annotations to glib 2.33.2
      Release 1.33.2

Dan Winship (1):
      scanner: allow for functions that look like constructors but
aren't

Dieter Verfaillie (12):
      Add comment documenting we're ignoring C++ style comments.
      Don't munch /* and */ comment start and end markers.
