Starting with Java-GI 1.0.0-RC1, there are exception classes for GError types. The name is based on the error domain, so GLib.RegexError will throw a RegexException. However, for Gio.IOError this results in a class org.gnome.gio.IOException. This will cause a lot of confusion in code that handles java.io.IOException in the same file. Therefore, the exception for Gio.IOError will now be org.gnome.gio.GIOException.

The old class org.gnome.gio.IOException will be removed. It was only added in RC1 so I don't expect it to be used a lot in existing code. And the fix would be simple.

Rename IOException to GIOException 19ceb59d52

Starting with Java-GI 1.0.0-RC1, there are exception classes for GError
types. The name is based on the error domain, so "GLib.RegexError" will
throw a "RegexException". However, for "Gio.IOError" this results in a
class "org.gnome.gio.IOException". This will cause a lot of confusion
in code that handles "java.io.IOException" in the same file. Therefore,
the exception for Gio.IOError will now be "org.gnome.gio.GIOException".
