Gtk2-Perl 2.8.1

Gtk2-Perl is the collective name for a set of Perl bindings for
GTK+ 2.x and various related libraries. These modules make it easy
to write GTK+ and GNOME applications using a natural, Perlish,
object-oriented syntax.

This is Gtk2-Perl 2.8.1, the stable release for GNOME 2.8.1.

GHex 2.8.0

The “What are the Odds?” Release

This time we’re skipping the odd minor version number since no
instability could ever be introduced into such a rock-stable
application as the above metioned binary editor.

Do not let the coincidental match of the version with the
version of the recently-released Gnome desktop & developer
platform, GHex is on a release schedule completely of its own and
2.8.0 will also build with 2.6.x or 2.4.x version of Gnome
libraries.

First, foremost and most obvious change is use of the GtkHex
widget in Find(&Replace) dialogs for editing data that should
be search for or replaced – now you can type some ascii text that
you wish to find and replace spaces in it with the NULL-terminator
– cool, isn’t it? How come I did not think of this earlier?

A rather large amount of bugs has been squashed since 2.6.1, the
preferences dialog’s “Help” button now works, entry fields in
dialogs are checked for sanity more strictly, handling of URIs when
doing drag’n’drop has been fixed and the UI has been polished a
bit. Most of this has been the work of Subrahmanyam Madduri – give
him a big hand, folks!

The GtkHex widget API has been immensely improved.

I have also been good enough to remove a bunch of unneeded
remnants from the previous six years of on-and-off work on GHex.
The code is much cleaner now.

Now, it’s five minutes for all those weird languages and the
folks working tirelessly so that you may use your latest GHex in
Kinyarwanda: we have updated en_CA (Adam), en_GB (David), cs
(Miloslav), sq (Laurent), id (Mohammad), fi (Tommi), hu (Lazslo),
es (Francisco Javier F.), nl (Tino), pt_BR (Raphael) and ja
(Takeshi).

As usual, available at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ghex/2.8/

Have fun,
