Guikachu 1.3.1
Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
A new development release of Guikachu is available.
About Guikachu
--------------
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.
Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/
Features
--------
* Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
* Exporting to PilRC .rcp files
* Support for non-PalmOS PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
* String and string list resources
* Dialog resources
* Menu resources
* Form resources
* Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
* WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
* XSLT style sheets and shell script to generate RCP files from
Guikachu documents
* Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
* Documentation (a complete user's manual)
About these releases
--------------------
This release is part of the 1.3 development branch, so it's all about
crazy experimentations and nto about providing a polished, well-tested
product -- so don't quite replace your 1.2 Guikachu just yet.
New features and improvements:
* Fixed property editor race conditions introduced in 1.3.0
* Files from the command line are loaded again
* Table dimensions are correctly exported for PalmOS 3.5+
* New standalone guikachu2rcp executable to replace XSLT-based
one
* Multi-line property editor for labels
* GNOME-VFS-based I/O, allowing you to open Guikachu files
from the Web and more
Guikachu uses GTKmm and GNOMEmm for its user interface. I/O is
implemented via GNOME-VFS, the XML storage format is managed with the
libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via libglade. GConf is used
to store user preferences. You will need the versions of these
packages available in the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of
GNOMEmm which you will need to upgrade to version 1.2.0).
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.
Beware of bugémons!

gtkmm 1.3.22
*** gtkmm2
gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This development branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x.
We are now seriously pushing for a binary API frozen 2.0 release. There
are no known API issues apart from these, which will be punted to some
future version:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?T2A121471
*** Changes
* Win32:
- Don't include strings.h on Win32.
- Use -fnative-struct, as used by GTK+ DLLs.
- Install win32 import libraries.
(Naofumi Yasufuku)
- Don't try to register non-wrapped classes. (Murray Cumming)
* Sun Forte build fixes. (Michael v. Szombathely)
API breakage:
* pangomm:
- Added Rectangle, Language, Color, Item, Glyph, Attributes, Attr, AttrItem.
- Used these wrappers in other class methods.
- Added some wrapper methods.
(Martin Schulze)
Excuse for breakage: pangomm isn't used much directly so this shouldn't break much.
* Added Gdk::Window::set_cursor(void) to reset the cursor. (Murray Cumming)
Excuse: It's additional API so it doesn't break anything.
*** Download
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1161
