Hello Guilers,

The seventh release candidate of the upcoming GNU G-Golf 0.8.0 release is
now available for testing:


* Tarball and a GPG detached signature [*]:

	http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/g-golf/g-golf-0.8.0-rc7.tar.gz
	http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/g-golf/g-golf-0.8.0-rc7.tar.gz.sig


* About G-Golf

G-Golf is a Guile Object Library for GNOME.

Complete description is given in the distributed README file or here:

	https://www.gnu.org/software/g-golf/


* Install

Dependencies and complete installation instructions are given in the
distributed INSTALL file, or here:

	https://www.gnu.org/software/g-golf/install.html

* Noteworthy changes in 0.8.0-rc7

Here is a summary of the noteworthy changes in this release, also
available in NEWS file and on the G-Golf website.


** Fixing the 0.8.0-rc6 release tarball malformed issue

This release merely fixes a missing examples/gtk-4/Makefile.am
(sub)target entry, so the tarball also distributes the newly added
examples/gtk-4/demos/*.scm files.


* You can help

1. Testing by installing from the tarball, or from the source if you
   prefer, on the distro of your choice.

2. By running the distributed examples.

Ultimately, one of the best way to test, and participate, is to select
G-Golf to develop the next application of your dream! Here is an
overview of the GNOME platform libraries [1], accessible using G-Golf.
In particular, libadwaita [2] provides a number of widgets that change
their layout based on the available space. This can be used to make
applications adapt their UI between desktop and mobile devices (as shown
in the G-Golf port of the "Adwaita demo").


* Contact

Consider joining us on irc [3], where you may ask for help or report a
problem [4].

However, if you prefer:

	G-Golf uses the guile-user@gnu.org mailing list
	Report bugs to bug-g-golf@gnu.org


Thanks!
David


[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
    .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig
    file and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

	gpg --verify g-golf-0.8.0-rc7.tar.gz

    If that command fails because you don't have the required public
    key, then run this command to import it:

	gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys A3057AD7

    and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command

[4] When reporting a problem, or if you think you found a bug, it is
very important that you prepare a minimal reproducible example (MRE),
sometimes also referred to as a short self-contained correct example
(SSCCE)

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_reproducible_example

Also, on irc, we chat :), so please do not write code snipsets directly
in the channel, unless 2 or 3 lines of code, nor (long/huge) error
messages of course - for more then 2 or 3 lines of code, or error
messages, always use a tor-friendly paste service (avoid those that
track its visitors and require javascript, thanks!).
