Inti-1.0 Beta4

Application
===========

Inti-1.0 Beta4

Description
===========

The Integrated Foundation Classes, are a set of C++ classes for
developing Gnome and GTK+ applications on UNIX-like systems such as
Linux. They are designed to work nicely with the GNU toolchain and take
advantage of the standard C++ features provided by the GNU compiler.
Currently there are two modules, the core application development
platform Inti and a binding for the Gnome Configuration System Inti-GConf.

Inti combines the power of GTK+ and the power of C++ into a
state-of-the-art GUI toolkit that makes developing applications easy,
intuitive and efficient. There are more than 330 classes that wrap most
of the objects found in the ATK, GDK, GDK-PIXBUF, GLIB, GTK and Pango
libraries. It has its own system of signals and slots which make using
native GTK signals or creating your own signals easy. There is a
standard string compatible UTF-8 string class, a full set of simple
example programs, a C++ version of the GTK+ demonstration program,
extensive reference documentation and a tutorial.


Enhancements
============

- Finished adding doxygen reference documentation to the header files in
the Inti, Main, G and Gtk namespaces.

- Minor API cleanups.

Application
===========

gsoftpad 1.5

Description
===========

PAD stands for Portable Application Description. PAD is an XML-based open
format to describe downloadable applications.It is our preferred method for
submitting our software to download sites. If you maintain a software
catalog, such as a download site, and want to include our software, please
use these PAD files. To keep the contents on your site current, poll these
files regularly. 

By using the PAD system, developers save time by having to create a
description of their software packages only once. This description can then
be uploaded quickly to all sites that support PAD. Webmasters can process
these PAD files and extract the data appropriate for their site. They can
keep the contents of their site current by polling PAD files on the web
sites of the authors of the software they list.
