* Fri Jun 21 2024 Dan Čermák - 1.17.0 / 2024-06-02 Fixed:

* Add missing write barriers to StructLayout#initialize causing a segfault with GC.stress. #1079 1.17.0.rc1 / 2024-04-08 Fixed:
* Fix type definitions on `aarch64-linux`. #1067, #1066
* Use RB_TEST for `Pointer.autorelease=` . #1065 So that `false` and `nil` are treated as falsey and anything else as truthy.

* Update `FFI::NativeType` doc. #1061
* Store FFI::Type::Mapped of FFI::StrPtrConverter in global instead of custom type map
* Various documentation fixes. #1042

* Fix FFI::Pointer#initialize using NUM2LL instead of NUM2ULL.
* Fix FFI::Type#inspect to properly display the constant name. #1002
* Use libffi closure allocations on hppa-Linux. #1017 Previously they would segfault.
* Fix class name of Symbol#inspect.
* Fix MSVC support of libtest. #1028
* Fix attach_function of functions ending in ? or ! #971 Added:
* Convert all C-based classes to TypedData and use write barriers. #994, #995, #996, #997, #998, #999, #1000, #1001, #1003, #1004, #1005, #1006, #1007, #1008, #1009, #1010, #1011, #1012 This results in less pressure on the garbage collector, since the objects can be promoted to the old generation, which means they only get marked on major GC.
* Implement `ObjectSpace.memsize_of()` of all C-based classes.
* Make FFI Ractor compatible. #1023 Modules extended per `extend FFI::Library` need to be frozen in order to be used by non-main Ractors. This can be done by calling `freeze` below of all C interface definitions.
* In a Ractor it\'s possible to:
* load DLLs and call its functions, access its global variables
* use builtin typedefs
* use and modify ractor local typedefs
* define callbacks
* receive async callbacks from non-ruby threads
* use frozen FFI::Library based modules with all attributes (enums, structs, typedefs, functions, callbacks)
* invoke frozen functions and callbacks defined in the main Ractor
* use FFI::Struct definitions from the main Ractor
* In a Ractor it\'s impossible to:
* create new FFI::Library based modules
* create new FFI::Struct definitions
* use custom global typedefs
* use non-frozen FFI::Library based modules
* Allow type retrieval of attached functions+variables. #1023
* Make FFI classes `GC.compact` friendly. #1021
* Update libffi and disable custom trampoline when using libffi closure allocation. #1020 This is because libffi changed the way how closures are allocated to static trampolines.
* Add types.conf for loongarch64-linux. #943
* Add types.conf for sw_64-linux (Shen Wei 64-bit, based on Alpha). #1018
* Add support for aarch64-windows. #1035
* Windows: Update LoadLibrary error message to include error code. #1026
* Allow private release method for FFI::ManagedStruct and FFI::AutoPointer. #1029
* Add support for passing ABI version to FFI.map_library_name. #963 This adds the new class FFI::LibraryPath .
* Add support for ruby-3.2 to windows binary gem. #1047
* Enable debug symbols for `rake compile` builds to ease debugging. #1048 Removed:
* Remove allocator of AbstractMemory. #1013 This disables AbstractMemory.new, which has no practical use.
* Remove unused FFI::SizeTypes. #1022

* Add long double as callback return value. #771
