* [ANN] guile-gi v0.2.2 released [not found] <20200126025515.GA2124517.ref@spikycactus.com> @ 2020-01-26 2:55 ` Mike Gran 2020-01-26 16:27 ` sirgazil 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Mike Gran @ 2020-01-26 2:55 UTC (permalink / raw) To: guile-user On behalf of the Guile-GI team, I am pleased to announce the release of Guile-GI v0.2.2. guile-gi is a library that autogenerates GNU Guile bindings for GObject libraries that provide typelib files. GObject is a standard way of writing C-language libraries with headers and introspection information. Typelib files are GObject's standard way to provide that introspection information. Among the GObject libraries are GTK3 and WebKitGTK2, two popular GUI libraries. In short, this library hopes to make GTK3 and WebKit2 available to Guile. This particular library is one of several different attempts at solving the interface between GTK+3 and Guile. Its differentiating feature is that its bindings are created dynamically at runtime by parsing typelib files. This project is theoretically similar to the g-golf project; however, while g-golf tries to avoid too much C, this project provides a library written in C that enables the use of the introspection functionality provided by GObject-Introspection. Guile-GI is of alpha quality. Its API is stabilizing, and there is no plan to change it; but, it is too early to guarantee stability. The big theme for this point release was to make callbacks work better. The NEWS - Add Guile 3.0 to configure - Callback fixes (#68, #70) - Prevent garbage collection of callbacks before use - Fix unpacking of integers in callbacks - Harmonize the calling convention of callback parameters with the calling convention of introspected C functions - Some support for GHashTable types (#56) - Improvements to autogenerated documentation (#50) - Bug fixes A tarball can be downloaded http://lonelycactus.com/tarball/guile_gi-0.2.2.tar.gz MD5 a63adfee7f80ccf4175f51ce41b0a99a guile_gi-0.2.2.tar.gz The repository and bug tracker can be found at https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi If you're uncomfortable using the github bug tracker, you can always e-mail me directly.
