On behalf of the Guile-GI team, I am pleased to announce the release
of Guile-GI v0.2.1.
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 and
solving the interface between GTK+3 and Guile. Its differentiating
feature is that its bindings are created dynamically at runtime by
parsing typelib files.
Guile-GI is alpha. Its API is stabilizing but is subject to change.
Use at your own risk.
The big user-facing effort was to improve the build experience
and to broaden support for GObject array types.
The NEWS
- Improved efficiency in build and test
- Non-recursive make
- SRFI-64-based tests (#63)
- Use system's gimarshallingtests
- Better support for GArray, GPtrArray, and GByteArray (#54)
- Improve generation of documentation for properties and enums
- Add subcategories to GLib-based logging
- More general documentation
- Bug fixes
