Guile-gnome-platform 2.16.1 may be downloaded from: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-gnome/guile-gnome-platform/guile-gnome-platform-2.16.1.tar.gz Version 2.16.0 was released without publicity. 2.16.1 is a bugfix release, but those interested in history can grab older tarballs in that same directory: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-gnome/guile-gnome-platform/ About guile-gnome-platform ========================== Guile-gnome-platform is a binding between Guile Scheme and the Gnome stack of libraries. It is API- and ABI- stable. There are several things that are the awesome about this code: * It's fully integrated! Instances of GObject are objects in Scheme; you can query their properties, class hierarchies, etc at runtime. You can derive new types yourself, with signals, properties, and the like. Good stuff! * It's fully documented! Start with the tutorial-like docs for the core GObject wrapper: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/docs/gobject/html/gnome-gobject.html Then branch out into individual modules: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/docs/ * Fully extensible! Guile-Gnome-Platform also provides a good base off of which to bind other libraries based on GLib. For example, Guile-Clutter binds almost all of the new Clutter library, with documentation, and most of that work was done in a day. * Stable! Write once, run anywhen! Guile-Gnome's API and ABI will never be changed incompatibly. * Scheme! You will be assimilated, or alternately, gnawed to death by fingernail clippings. Changes ======= packaging changes ----------------- * Removed the "docs" module; its content, the tutorial, is now folded into the documentation for all of the relevant modules (e.g. GLib, GTK+, CORBA, etc.) * Changelogs have all been archived to ChangeLog.pre-2.16, because now we will just use revision control logs. * Suppress some automake warnings. * Add guile-clutter to the set of configurable packages. atk --- * Improved documentation. cairo ----- * New platform release, no change. corba ----- * Improved documentation, folding the tutorial text in to the (gnome corba) module commentary. * Removed a printf. defs ---- * New platform release, no change. gconf ----- * Imroved documentation, with example. * Fixed a bug regarding GConfClient notification. glib ---- * Improved documentation. * Build process is slightly less noisy. * Recognize GInitiallyUnowned as a sinkable object. This doesn't affect e.g. GTK+, for which we already recognize GtkObject as sinkable, but it does affect e.g. Clutter. * Don't error when constructing parameter types of which we are unaware. Affects e.g. ClutterUnit parameters; the precise nature of this fix will change in the future. * Accept integers as init values for or values. * Bugfix for custom-wrapped boxed values, like GdkRectangle. * Fix regressions on x86-64. gnome-vfs --------- * Improved documentation, with some example code. gtk --- * Improved documentation, merging in content from the tutorial into the main GTK+ docs. libglade -------- * Improved documentation, with an example. libgnome -------- * Improved documentation. libgnomecanvas -------------- * Improved documentation. libgnomeui ---------- * Improved documentation. pango ----- * Added (gnome pangocairo) module, along with documentation. -- http://wingolog.org/
