glibmm 2.3.0
gtkmm 2.2
glibmm provides a C++ interface to glib. glibmm was previously
part of gtkmm. glibmm 2.3/2.4 will wrap any additional API in glib
2.4. http://www.gtkmm.org
glibmm 2.4 installs in parallel with gtkmm 2.0/2.2, so you can
install this unstable library without the risk of breaking existing
applications. This allows us to break ABI and API, though we will
try not to break API unless it is absolutely necessary.
Changes
Changes in glibmm 2.3.0:
- Now separate from gtkmm, so you can use things like
Glib::ustring without depending on gtkmm. - This does not yet require glib 2.3 because there has been no
tarball release of that yet. For now, you can build glibmm 2.3.0
with glib 2.2.x. - When using pkg-config, you should check for “glibmm-2.4”.
- Glib::ObjectBase inherits virtually from SigC::Object, allowing
multiple inheritance with other classes that inherit from
SigC::Object. - RefPtr:
- is_null() was removed, to encourage you to use “== 0”
instead. - operator=(CppObject*) was removed.
- is_null() was removed, to encourage you to use “== 0”
- gtkmmproc is now gmmproc.
- All the glibmm bugfixes in gtkmm 2.2.x.

libgdamm 1.3.0
libgdamm
libgdamm provides C++ wrappers for libgda for use with gtkmm.
libgda is a generic database API with several database provider
implementations.
This is an initial tarball version, to try to get some attention
from interested hackers.
A fairly random part of the libgda API has been wrapped, and
there are no examples yet (I have some problems with my local mysql
installation.). So the chances of anything working are small. If
you’d like this stuff to work, you should try to create a working
example and submit patches.
Contact us in the usual gnomemm places – see http://www.gtkmm.org. There is a
libgdamm component in bugzilla’s gnomemm product. It is waiting
eagerly for your patches. This stuff should be easy if you have a
little time.
It’s in gnome’s cvs in gnomemm/libgdamm.
Download
ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgdamm/
and the mirrors.
You will need gtkmm 2 and libgda, available from the same
place.
