libsigc++ 1.2.0

*** libsigc++ 1.2

libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It
allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any
callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of
whether it is static or virtual.

libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system.

*** Changes

This is the first stable release of the libsigc++ 1.2 development phase. The
API is now binary frozen. libsigc++ 1.2 is simpler and more flexible than
libsigc++ 1.0.
 
This has been made possible by the efforts of the following people:
  Karl Nelson (original design and implementation)
  Murray Cumming (reluctant maintainer, documentation)
  Daniel Elstner
  Gergo Erdi
  Cedric Gustin (win32)
  Ainsley Pereira (documentation)
  and possibly others who didn't patch the ChangeLog.

libsigc++ documentation is available here:
