Version 1.53.4
--------------

- Refactored the way GObject properties are accessed. This should be a bit more
  efficient, as property info (GParamSpec) is now cached for every object type.
  There may still be some regressions from this; please be on the lookout so
  we can fix them in the next release.

- The memory usage for each object instance has been reduced, resulting in
  several dozens of megabytes less memory usage in GNOME Shell.

- The CI pipeline was refactored, now runs a lot faster, detects more failure
  situations, builds on different architectures, uses the GitLab Docker
  registry, and publishes code coverage statistics to
  https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/gjs/

- For contributors, the C++ style guide has been updated, and there is now a
  script in the tools/ directory that will install a Git hook to automatically
  format your code when you commit it. The configuration may not be perfect yet,
  so bear with us while we get it right.
