gob2 2.0.1

EKIEKIFOOFOO

Gob haters of the world will be happy because 2.0.0 had some somewhat evil
bugs.  Fortunately it was in places that people weren't using before
since they weren't documented.  Oh well.  This release fixes all that.
It just goes to show that I should have written docs before and then people
would have complained earlier.  Oh well.  If you haven't used the new
properties syntax, you are not really affected, but you should upgrade
since the new properties syntax is really cool.

So what is this gob thing?  Well besides being the cure for cancer, it also
generates GObjects (or GTK+ objects).  GOB2 is a replacement for the version
1 GOB, that was for GTK+ 1.x mostly.  GOB2 can handle pretty much most of
the GObject features.  At least most of the ones that anyone will ever use.
It only requires GLib 2.0 and can generate arbitrary GObjects.  You can have
both versions installed at the same time if you wish, so that you don't have
to port all your gob files to gob2 for now, but you really should as gob2 is
nicer and all that kind of stuff.

Here are the news in 2.0.1 (gob2):

        * Fixed property types for all the types that require an extra
          GObject type
        * Fix object and boxed linking
        * Fixed C++ mode for flags and enum linking
        * Allow comments in property code

GtkGLExt 0.4.0

Hello everyone,

GtkGLExt, OpenGL extension to GTK, version 0.4.0 has been released.

  http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/

It provides the GDK objects which support OpenGL rendering in GTK,
and gtk_widget API add-ons to make GTK+ widgets OpenGL-capable.
As opposed to Jane Loff's GtkGLArea, it does not provide any OpenGL
widget, but an interface to use OpenGL on ANY GTK+ widget. 


This release includes some important interface changes.
The changes are for mainly supporting C++ wrapper, GtkGLExtmm.
Since backwards compatibility has been broken, applications will need
to be modified. 

  * Arguments' order of gdk_gl_context_new() have been
    chaged. The new interface is convenient for C++ wrapper.

  * In connection with above, arguments' order of 
    gtk_widgetsetgl_capability() have been changed.

  * gdk_gl_context_copy() function have been added.


Could you please try it and tell me your comments?


General Information
