GNUsound 0.2.1

GNUsound is the GNOME U sound editor for Linux/x86.

It can record, play and edit various file formats and saves them as .WAV. It
supports multiple tracks, multiple outputs, and 8, 16 and 24/32 bit
resolution.

Requires libglade, libaudiofile, GNOME libraries and lots of RAM.

0.2.1 is the first public release.

libglade 1.99.12

I have just uploaded libglade 1.99.12.  The new release is available at:
    
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/earthquake/sources/libglade/libglade-1.99.12.tar.gz

This release is targetted at the GTK/GNOME 2.0 platform.  The changes in 
this release include:

    * more changes to help with Murray's C++ bindings.
    * check whether GTK has a GtkPlug implementation to help with
      building with gtk targets other than X11.
    * Only build the docs if --enable-gtk-doc is passed to configure.
    * pass CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to gtkdoc when building docs, in case they
      are needed to build against the library (fixes 64-bit solaris
      issues, #81347).
    * fix up a missing g_object_ref() call in AtkRelationSet handling code.
    * More helpful error message if glade file could not be found (#80411).

You will probably need this version to compile a number of other 
packages in the next gnome 2.0 snapshot release.

James.

gtkmm 1.3.14

*** gtkmm2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This development branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x

*** Changes

* Gtk::TreeView and friends:
  - Namespaced TreeIter, TreePath, TreeViewColumn, etc, as TreeModel::iterator,
    TreeModel::Path, TreeView::Column, etc. (Murray Cumming)
  - Separated TreeModel::iterator into iterator and Row, obtained by 
    dereferencing the iterator. This is more STL-like. (Daniel Elstner)
  - Some Model methods moved to Row, and set_value()/get_value() replaced by
    array-style operator[]. (Daniel Elstner)
  - Added overrides to allow for simple model-to-view column mapping without
    repetitive specifying of TreeViewColumns and CellRenderers and attributes.
    Examples and demos therefore greatly simplified. (Murray Cumming)
  - TreeModel::iterator comparison problems fixed. (Daniel Elstner)
  - Added Path(iterator&) constructor.
  - All get_*() methods are now const. (Murray Cumming)
* Gtk::Box::pack_start() and pack_end(): Now uses AttachOptions flags instead
  of two bool paratemers, to make code more readable and to be consistent with 
  Gtk::Table::attach(). (Murray Cumming)
* Gtk::Notebook: STL-style interface remoeved because GTK+ doesn't expose 
  enough internals anymore. The simple append/prepend interface remains.
  (Murray Cumming)
* Some enums placed inside their related classes. (Daniel Elstner)
* Glib::FileError enums renamed to avoid clashes with C #defines on some 
  platforms (Daniel Elstner)
* Fixed refcount problem with manage() ed child widget destruction.
  (Murray Cumming)
* test suite started. (Daniel Elstner)
* Glib::Value and properties simplifications. (Daniel Elstner)
* Gtk::Dialog: Dialogs are now hidden when run() finishes. (Murray Cumming)
