*** gtkmm2
gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This unstable branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x
*** Changes
This is mostly just a release to sync with a new gnomemm release.
* Some glibmm code is now autogenerated with gtkmmproc (Daniel Elstner)
* Improvements to enum generation (Daniel Elstner)
* Improvements to glibmm character conversions (Daniel Elstner)
* gtk-demo segfault fixed. (Martin Schulze)
*** Download
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1161
You will need the alpha release of libsigc++1.1, available here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1970
If you wish to install this in parallel with gtk--1.2, you will first
need to update to the latest libsigc++1.0.x, available here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1970
*** Development
This is an unstable release, currently under heavy development. You can find
cvs instructions here:
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtkmm-root/base/README
The CHANGES file describes some of the more significant differences
compared to gtkmm 1.2:
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtkmm-root/base/CHANGES
There is also ongoing discussion on the mailing list:
http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/mailinglist.html
and in the #c++ channel on irc.gnome.org/

*** gnomemm
The libgnome*mm libraries wrap the GNOME2 libraries for C++, for use
with gtkmm2. They are collectively known as gnomemm. This release should work
with the 'GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 5' release. You will need the latest gtkmm2
release.
libgnomeuimm wraps libgnomeui for C++.
libgnomecanvasmm wraps libgnomecanvas for C++.
libglademm wraps libglade for C++
libgnomemm wraps libgnome for C++.
gconfmm wraps GConf for C++.
We have also provided gnomemm as one umbrella package, gnomemm-all, for your
convenience. This is experimental.
*** Changes:
libgnomemm 1.3.3:
* Generated sources now distributed.
gconfmm 1.3.3:
* Generated sources are now distributed.
* Client now uses namespaced enums.
libglademm 1.3.0:
* First version.
libgnomecanvasmm 1.3.5:
* Generated sources now distributed.
libgnomeuimm 1.3.5:
* IconList uses namespaced enums
* IconList examples now build.
* Added wrappers for Druid widgets.
* Generated sources are now distributed.
*** Download
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1161
You will need the latest unstable gtkmm2, available from the same place.
*** Installation:
The gnomemm libraries should be built and installed in this order:
libgnomemm, gconfmm, libgnomecanvasmm, libgnomeuimm.

*** PrefixSuffix
PrefixSuffix is a small, simple GUI app that lets you rename files by changing
the start or end of their filenames.
It demonstrates use of the GNOME2 C++ bindings, gtkmm and gnomemm, particularly
libglademm and gconfmm.
*** Download

*** Installation:
You will need the latest gtkmm2 and gnomemm2 packages, available from:
http://www.gtkmm.org/

The libbonobo*mm libraries provide C++ interfaces for the libbonobo* libraries.
They will become part of gnomemm when the ORBit2 C++ support is merged into the
main branch after GNOME2.
*** libbonobomm 1.3.0
This is a first version. It provides pre-generated CORBA stubs and skels. It will
also provide CORBA server implementations of Bonobo interfaces.
*** libbonobouimm 1.3.1
This provides wrappers for the Bonobo widgets, for use with gtkmm. It also
provides server implementations of Bonobo interfaces.
Changes:
* Added server implementations - both C++ implementations and C++ wrappers
of C implementations.
* generated CORBA stubs/skels moved to libbonobomm library.
* generated widget and server wrapper sources are now distributed
* "hello" example updated for the new structure. It is now much smaller.
*** Requirements
This requires the cpp branch of ORBit2.
You can get that like so:
cvs co -r cpp ORBit2.
The cpp branch of ORBit2 is just-good-enough to be used with simple
Bonobo stuff. The mappings for more complex CORBA interfaces and
structures are being worked out properly in the orbit-cpp-cactus branch.
However, that branch is probably not able to compile all of Bonobo.idl.
You will also need the latest gtkmm-1.3.x

GARNOME 0.9.5 - the bad-ass, bleeding edge GNOME distribution for testers
and tweakers everywhere - is ready for more tire-kicking and bug-bashing. If
you're dying to try the GNOME 2.0 Desktop, but don't want to fall into the
depraved addictions and co-dependencies of testing from anonymous CVS, then
GARNOME is for you.
Random
------
So, there have been a couple of unnannounced releases between Preview Five
and Six, mostly because Beta 4 and the snapshot were so close together. This
combined release is great though; certainly worth checking out and testing.
You can find help on bug reporting and related issues in #bugs on
irc.gnome.org.
GARNOME is starting to have a life and image of its own - check out the new
splash screen! More crazy GARNOME action in upcoming releases.
What is The Dutch Finger?
-------------------------
You expect me to be unmysterious about the release names now? Ha ha.
http://gnome.org/~jdub/guadec3/184.jpg [large]
http://gnome.org/~jdub/guadec3/184-320.jpg [small]
What's New?
-----------
- Based on G2D Beta 4 and snapshot 20020501. Too many updates to list. :-)
- Now includes gtk-engines and gnome-vfs-extras, both part of the GNOME
2.0 Desktop, but without tarball releases until now.
- New GStreamer and RhythmBox releases. These kick so much arse.
- Purdy new "Thank You!" splash screen.
Where do I get it?
------------------
The tarball and documentation is available on the GARNOME website:
http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/
Happy Testing!
