+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-11-03
+
+### Added
+
+- `GnomeDesktop`, defined from the `GnomeDesktop-4.0` GObject Introspection typelib at
+  require time, giving thumbnailing, idle monitoring and desktop file metadata. `GnomeDesktop::Loader` is a
+  `GObjectIntrospection::Loader` subclass, so the binding is the whole
+  namespace rather than a hand-written subset, and it does not drift as the
+  library gains API.
+- A dev shell (`flake.nix`) that pins the library and glib from one nixpkgs and
+  puts their typelibs on `GI_TYPELIB_PATH`, and CI that runs the suite inside
+  it, because the environment is the hard part of an introspection binding.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The binding no longer goes through Rust. Earlier revisions wrapped a
+  gir-generated crate with magnus, which meant an `ext/` directory, a Cargo
+  workspace, system libraries at build time and a nine-platform cross-compile
+  matrix, to expose the handful of functions someone had written by hand. The
+  typelib loader replaces all of it with about twenty lines of Ruby.
+- The gem is pure Ruby and declares no extensions. Installing it still
+  compiles C, because `glib2` and `gobject-introspection` are native
+  extensions built against glib — but this gem adds no build step of its own,
+  and those two are what every ruby-gnome application already has via `gtk4`.
+- `bin/release-gem` releases one gem. It was built for the Rust model, where a
+  release meant a source gem plus one precompiled gem per platform downloaded
+  from the Cross Compile workflow; that workflow is gone and there are no
+  platform gems, so left alone it aborted before doing anything.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `ext/`, `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock`, the cross-compile workflow, and the
+  `rb_sys` and `rake-compiler` dependencies.
+- `bin/release-gem`. It existed because releasing a Rust gem meant publishing a
+  source gem plus one precompiled gem per platform, downloaded from the Cross
+  Compile workflow's artifacts. There is nothing to compile here, so there is
+  one gem and one push, which is exactly what `gem kit release` does. The
+  script added only a check that the local version was ahead of RubyGems, and
+  `gem push` already refuses a version that has been pushed.

+# gnome_desktop
+
+Ruby bindings for [libgnome-desktop-4](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop),
+the GNOME Utility Library — the locale and language name database behind
+GNOME's language chooser, the XKB layout registry behind its input-source
+list, the monitor-vendor table, the thumbnail factory, the wall clock and the
+idle monitor.
+
+```ruby
+require "gnome_desktop"
+
+ok, language, country = GnomeDesktop.parse_locale("en_GB.UTF-8@euro")
+GnomeDesktop.get_language_from_code("en", nil)   # => "English"
+
+xkb = GnomeDesktop::XkbInfo.new
+xkb.all_layouts                                  # => ["us", "gb", "de", ...]
+xkb.get_layout_info("us")                        # => [true, "English (US)", "en", "us", ""]
+
+GnomeDesktop::PnpIds.new.get_pnp_id("DEL")       # => "Dell Inc."
+GnomeDesktop::WallClock.new.clock                # => "3 Nov 00:42"
+```
+
+This is `GnomeDesktop-4.0`. Three other namespaces ship from the same C
+package and are not defined here: `GnomeDesktop-3.0` is the GTK3 generation of
+the same library, and `GnomeBG-4.0` and `GnomeRR-4.0` both depend on
+`Gdk-4.0`, so each belongs in a gem of its own rather than dragging GTK4 into
+this one.
+
+## How this works
+
+libgnome-desktop ships a GObject Introspection typelib that describes every
+class, method, property and signal it has. `GnomeDesktop::Loader` — twenty
+lines — hands that typelib to ruby-gnome's `GObjectIntrospection::Loader`,
+which defines the Ruby classes from it at `require` time.
+
+So this gem is pure Ruby: no extension of its own, no Cargo workspace, no
+per-platform binary. You get the whole namespace rather than the subset
+somebody got round to wrapping by hand, and it does not drift when the library
+gains API.
+
+It is worth being precise about what that does and does not buy you at install
+time. `gem install gnome_desktop` still compiles C, because
+`gobject-introspection` and `glib2` are themselves native extensions built
+against glib — so a compiler and glib's development headers are needed. What
+this gem adds on top of that is nothing: those two are what every ruby-gnome
+application already has, since `gtk4` depends on them. If you are writing a
+Ruby GTK app, gnome_desktop costs you no build step you were not already
+paying.
+
+This is how [ruby-gnome](https://github.com/ruby-gnome/ruby-gnome) itself ships
+gtksourceview5, libsecret and the rest.
+
+## What you must install
+
+The typelib is a C-library artefact, so it belongs to your distribution and
+this gem cannot install it. Two things are needed: the introspection data for
+libgnome-desktop-4, and `gsettings-desktop-schemas`, because
+`GnomeDesktop::XkbInfo`'s constructor opens a GSettings for
+`org.gnome.desktop.input-sources` and a missing schema is a `g_error`, which
+aborts the process rather than raising.
+
+| | typelib | schemas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Debian / Ubuntu | `gir1.2-gnomedesktop-4.0` | `gsettings-desktop-schemas` |
+| Fedora | `gnome-desktop4` | `gsettings-desktop-schemas` |
+| Arch | `gnome-desktop-4` | `gsettings-desktop-schemas` |
+| nix | `pkgs.gnome-desktop` | `pkgs.gsettings-desktop-schemas` |
+
+If your distribution has renamed one of these, the file to search for is
+`GnomeDesktop-4.0.typelib`. Two more typelibs come along as dependencies —
+`GDesktopEnums-3.0` (from `gsettings-desktop-schemas`, which is not an obvious
+place to look for it) and `GdkPixbuf-2.0` — plus `Gio-2.0` from glib, which
+the `glib2` gem already requires.
+
+Several of these lookups read data files rather than compute: xkeyboard-config
+supplies the keyboard layout registry, hwdata the monitor-vendor table,
+iso-codes and the system locale archive the country and language names. A
+machine without them returns empty lists and nils, which is not a fault in
+this binding.
+
+If the typelibs are not in the default search path, point `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` at
+the directory holding `GnomeDesktop-4.0.typelib` and `GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR` at
+the one holding `gschemas.compiled`. The dev shell in `flake.nix` does both.
+
+**One trap worth knowing.** The typelib must come from the same glib build as
+the `gobject-introspection` gem. Mixing two registers GIO twice in one process
+and fails with `cannot register existing type 'GTlsCertificate'`. Under nix,
+take both from one nixpkgs — and note that glib's typelibs are in its `out`
+output, not the default `bin` one.
+
+## Known gap
+
+`GnomeDesktop::DesktopThumbnailFactory.new` cannot be called through the
+typelib. Its one argument is `GnomeDesktopThumbnailSize`, a plain C enum with
+no GType, so GI has nothing to marshal it from and reports the signature as
+`interface(NilClass(void))`. The `GnomeDesktop::DesktopThumbnailSize`
+constants are defined and the class exists; constructing it needs a fix
+upstream in libgnome-desktop's annotations, not here.
+
+## Using it from a flake
+
+The gem needs `GnomeDesktop-4.0.typelib` and everything that typelib declares, resolved
+transitively by the loader at `require` time. A missing one surfaces as
+`Typelib file for namespace 'X' not found`, one at a time, so the whole chain
+is listed here rather than discovered by repeated failure:
+
+- `pkgs.gnome-desktop` — its typelib, which is where `GnomeDesktop-4.0.typelib` lives
+- `pkgs.gsettings-desktop-schemas` — its typelib
+- `pkgs.gdk-pixbuf` — GdkPixbuf-2.0
+- `pkgs.glib` — GLib-2.0, GObject-2.0 and Gio-2.0, which nearly every GNOME typelib declares
+
+Note the `.out`: a package's default output is often `bin`, which carries no
+typelibs. `makeSearchPath` takes the first output, so it has to be asked for
+`out` explicitly — this is the single most common way to get a search path that
+looks right and finds nothing.
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
+
+  outputs = { nixpkgs, ... }:
+    let
+      system = "x86_64-linux";
+      pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
+
+      typelibPath = pkgs.lib.makeSearchPath "lib/girepository-1.0"
+        (map (drv: drv.out or drv) [ pkgs.gnome-desktop pkgs.gsettings-desktop-schemas pkgs.gdk-pixbuf pkgs.glib ]);
+    in
+    {
+      devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell {
+        packages = [ pkgs.ruby_3_4 pkgs.bundler ] ++ [ pkgs.gnome-desktop pkgs.gsettings-desktop-schemas pkgs.gdk-pixbuf pkgs.glib ];
+
+        shellHook = ''
+          export GI_TYPELIB_PATH="${typelibPath}''${GI_TYPELIB_PATH:+:$GI_TYPELIB_PATH}"
+        '';
+      };
+    };
+}
+```
+
+Everything must come from **one** nixpkgs. A typelib built against a different
+glib than the `gobject-introspection` gem registers GIO twice in the process
+and fails with `cannot register existing type 'GTlsCertificate'`.
+
+If you are packaging an application rather than entering a shell, the same
+`typelibPath` goes on the wrapper:
+
+```nix
+makeWrapper ${ruby}/bin/ruby $out/bin/my-app \
+  --set GI_TYPELIB_PATH "${typelibPath}"
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+nix develop
+bin/test
+```
+
+## Releasing
+
+```sh
+gem kit release
+```
+
+That is the whole thing. It gates on the changelog having an entry for this
+version, on no deprecation deadline coming due, and on a clean working tree;
+then builds, pushes and tags.
+
+There is nothing to wait for in CI. This gem is pure Ruby, so `gem build`
+produces one `gnome_desktop-X.Y.Z.gem` that is the same artefact wherever it is built —
+no extension, no per-platform gems, nothing for a workflow to hand back.
+
+
+## Licence
+
+Apache-2.0. libgnome-desktop itself is LGPL-2.0-or-later; this gem links
+nothing and copies no libgnome-desktop code — it reads a description of it at
+runtime.

+# Nothing here wraps a C function by hand. The library ships a GObject
+# Introspection typelib describing every class, method, property and signal it
+# has, and ruby-gnome's GObjectIntrospection::Loader reads that at require time
+# and defines the Ruby classes from it. {GnomeDesktop::Loader} is about twenty lines;
+# what you get is the whole library, and it does not drift when the library
+# gains API.
+#
+# This is how ruby-gnome itself ships gtksourceview5, libsecret and the rest.
+#
+# What this binds is GnomeDesktop-4.0. The same package ships three more
+# typelibs: GnomeBG-4.0 and GnomeRR-4.0, which both depend on Gdk-4.0 and so
+# belong in gems of their own, and GnomeDesktop-3.0, the GTK3 generation.
+#
+# The typelib has to be findable at require time, which means the library's
+# `girepository-1.0` directory on `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` or in the system default.
+# This gem cannot install it -- it is a C library artefact and belongs to the
+# distribution. See the README for the package name; `flake.nix` wires up a dev
+# shell that has it.
+#
+# One trap, paid for already: the typelib must come from the same glib build as
+# the `gobject-introspection` gem. Mix two and GIO is registered twice in one
+# process, which fails as `cannot register existing type 'GTlsCertificate'`.
