2025-07-22Docs: standardize between list and array as arrayDylan Baker
When arrays were added they were called arrays. Because the are implemented with Python lists, that language started leaking into talking about Meson types. This is confusing. I've attempted, as much as possible, to move to using one name, array. I picked array because 1) It's the original name used, and 2) what Meson has are more properly arrays as they have a fixed length, while a critical property of lists are the ability to link and unlink them. There are a couple of places where the list language has leaked into the names of keyword arguments. I have not made any attempt to change those, I don't know if it's that useful or not.
2024-07-05Revert "Clarify mutable objects usage"Eli Schwartz
This reverts commit 9f02d0a3e5a5ffc82256391c244b1af38e41ef78. It turns out that this does introduce a behavioral change in existing users of ConfigurationData, which it wasn't supposed to (it was supposed to preserve behavior there, and add a new *warning* for EnvironmentVariables). This breaks projects such as pulseaudio, libvirt, and probably more. Roll back the change and try again after 1.5.0 is released. Fixes: #13372
2024-04-14Clarify mutable objects usageXavier Claessens
Only Environment and ConfigurationData are mutable. However, only ConfigurationData becomes immutable after first use which is inconsistent. This deprecates modification after first use of Environment object and clarify documentation.

2022-01-18interpreterobjects: deprecated passing a number to configuration_data.set10Dylan Baker
This is currently allowed, and is used in at least a few projects. It was not intended to work or documented, but it does and since it is in use a full deprecation period must be used. A warning has also been added for values < 0, which have surprising behavior.
