Greetings, disciples of Lambda: The Ultimate Cult,

I am pleased to announce the release of guile-gnome-platform version
2.15.98.

guile-gnome-platform 2.15.98 may be downloaded from:
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-gnome/guile-gnome-platform/guile-gnome-platform-2.15.98.tar.gz


About guile-gnome-platform
==========================

guile-gnome-platform is a binding between Guile Scheme and the Gnome
stack of libraries.

This release is a part of the unstable 2.15 series, which aims to wrap
the libraries in the Gnome Developer Platform at version 2.16. It is
unstable, but 2.16.0 will be stable.

guile-gnome-platform 2.15.98 is a preview for 2.16.0. If everything goes
right, something very close to this release will be pushed as 2.16.0
within a couple weeks.

For that reason, it's *very important* to test this one as widely as
possible, because hopefully we can get some nice buzz about the upcoming
stable release, and it would be good if we caught and fixed any problems
before they turn into someone's first impression.

The so-called API_VERSION of guile-gnome has been bumped to 2 (from 0),
so your code will need to "link" to it that way. See the glib notes for
more details.


Changes
=======

packaging changes
-----------------
* Formally require Guile 1.8, as has been the case for a while now.

* Bump the API_VERSION to 2, as a test before going stable.

This will change all library names, pkg-config names, installed header
names, etc. (use-modules (gnome-0)) in user code should be changed to
(use-modules (gnome-2)). guile-gnome-0 is now guile-gnome-2.

The purpose of this change is to shake out any bugs in the API_VERSION
mechanism. The intention is for the next release to be 2.16.0, with
API_VERSION=2.
