GNU G-Golf 0.8.0-rc-2 available for testing

Hello Guilers,

The second 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-rc-2.tar.gz
	http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/g-golf/g-golf-0.8.0-rc-2.tar.gz.sig

* 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-rc-2

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

** Examples

Adwaita Demo

The 'Dialogs' page has been added to the demo.

** Bug fixing

emit
signal-emit

Fixed to properly handle 'object extra arg(s) type. Prior to this fix, a
call such (emit window 'add-toast toast), with window and toast being
goops proxy instances, would raise an exception, as the extra args
handler missed a proper dispatch clause and treatment for the 'object
arg type,

* 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

    .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-rc-2.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

Very nice!
Thanks,
David

ps:	does the adw1-demo also works?
		it requires libadwaita >= 1.4
	i'd be very pleased to know it does work on your preferred
	platform as well ...

It actually does! Screenshots attached. The ones that don't work are:

- animated-paintable.scm, simple-paintable.scm: it might be something cairo
related. I have guile-cairo 1.11.2

;;; found fresh local cache at
/Users/aleix/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.7/opt/homebrew/Cellar/guile-cairo/1.11.2/share/guile/site/3.0/cairo.scm.go
[1]    14620 segmentation fault  ./animated-paintable.scm

- drawing-widget.scm, peg-solitaire.scm.

If I have time I'll try to find out why.

Btw, macOS is not my preferred platform :-). It just so happens that, a
while back, I had to work on it and I wanted to install Guile software but
there was no easy way for it (apart from building everything manually). So
I basically initially created Guile Homebrew for myself and then I thought
others might have the same need so I just keep maintaining it :-).

Best,

Aleix

Hello Aleix,

> It actually does! Screenshots attached. The ones that don't work are:

Very nice, thanks - 

	the welcome page is not displaying the expected welcome
	logo, which is a grayscale adwaita logo

	in /examples/adw-1/adw1-demo/ui
		 welcome.scm	[1]
			...
			(property (@ (name "icon-name"))
		            "org.gnome.Adwaita1.Demo-symbolic")
			...

	maybe you can figure out why it is missing on your side. other
	logos seems to all be there (the other screenshots are fine ...)

> - animated-paintable.scm, simple-paintable.scm: it might be something

you must clone the guile-cairo upstream repo, git checkout devel, then
run the make danse ... let me know if this solve you problem.

> - drawing-widget.scm, peg-solitaire.scm.

i don't know, but they have in common that  they both use snapshots
(the gtk-4 drawing 'tool' ...)

I would try to first get the drawing-widget.scm to work, it is a very
simple example, then see how to fix the peg-solitaire.scm

Oh, i see - very nice of you to maintain guile and g-golf there,
thanks for that!

David

[1]	the scm files in the ui subdir are used to generate the
corresponding .ui files - so if you make any change there, you need to
run make in that subdir before to restart the demo ...

Hello Aleix,

> A couple more... This is very cool actually....

Indeed :) - I was gona ask if you could paste a screenshot of the
'Style Classes' demo page ... 

	maybe you did try, but just in case, you may also reduce the
	window size, till it triggers the adaptive mode ... for any of
	the adw1-demo pages, but the style classes page demo is cool to
	look at while doing so ...

Thanks,
David

Yeah, I have a guile-cairo formula but it crashes right now. I guess I have
to figure out that first.

OK. I'll take a look at that after the cairo issue.
