gtkmm and glibmm 2.4
gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.4 wraps
additional API in GTK+ 2.4. gtkmm 2.4 installs in parallel with
gtkmm 2.2, so you can have both installed at the same time. glibmm
is now a separate module, for use in non-GUI software.
gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME
release schedule: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/
Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available,
and are also API-stable.
Changes
glibmm 2.4.1:
- Build fixes for gcc 3.4.0.
- Doxygen not required when building from tarballs. (Murray
Cumming)

GTK+-2.4.1
GTK+-2.4.1 is now available for download at:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4/
This is a bug fix release and is source and binary compatible
with 2.4.0. There are a considerable number of fixes in this
release as compared to 2.4.0, especially in the areas of
GtkFileChooser, GtkComboBox and GtkEntryCompletion.
What is GTK+
GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable
for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete
application suites.
GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl
and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder)
provides an effective method of rapid application development.
GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software,
without any license fees or royalties.
Where to get more information about
GTK+
Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be
found at:

gnome-gcj 0.18.0
Hi,
the Gnome-GCJ project proudly announces the release of version
0.17.0 of the alternative set of Java bindings for GNOME. It’s
available for download via SourceForge.
Download:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D8834&package_id=3D8=
923
Website:
http://gnome-gcj.sourceforge.net/
What is Gnome-GCJ
Gnome-GCJ is a set of GNOME bindings for the Java language. It uses
the gcj java compiler from the gcc project to create native
binaries using the Cygnus Native Interface (CNI). We sacrificed
support for Java VMs to support more classical development of GNOME
applications using the GNU autotools.
What’s new in 0.18.0
Gnome-GCJ 0.18.0 introduces a small demo application (to become
extended) and both wrappers for libglade and gsf.
Where’s more information on it
Visit the Gnome-GCJ website http://gnome-gcj.sf.net/ to get more
information.
Regards,
Sven

GNOME Music Quiz 0.1
GNOME Music Quiz is a game similar to the television show ‘Name
That Tune’ where players hear part of a song from their Rhythmbox
music library and have to identify it by title/artist or album. The
faster they identify a song the more points they recieve.
It supports multiple players and is a great party game. Or, play
it by yourself to learn your music and impress your friends
