Lac – library for asynchronous communication, v. 0.5
"Lac" expands to "Library for Asynchronous Communication". It is a
network abstraction library like a zillion others, but with a few
features rarely found in other network libraries:
- Works well with the GLib main loop.
- Asynchronous, caching DNS resolver.
- Pipelining HTTP 1.1 implementation
These features haven't been tested much, so they will contain bugs and
missing pieces here and there. They should be basically working,
though.
Features that would be nice to have, but aren't in the libary yet:
- HTTP cache
- HTTP cookies
- Support for SSL
- HTTP Proxy support
- FTP implementation
- Documentation
You can help adding these, of course.
You can download the library at
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/lac-0.5.tar.gz
Lac is free software; you can modify and distribute it under the terms
of the LGPL (the GNU Library General Public License). See the file
COPYING for details.

GTK+-2.1.1
GTK+-2.1.1 is now available for download at:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/
This is a development release leading up to GTK+-2.2. The major
change as compared to the stable GTK+-2.0.6 is support for
multiple displays and multiple screens in GDK, although there are
numerous minor changes as well.
Since GTK+-2.1.0, changes include independently installable
pixbuf loaders (librsvg now includes a SVG loader for GdkPixbuf),
fixes for drag-and-drop between multiple screens, and some initial
support for the RandR extension. Also this release fixes a problem
with compilation using Xft version 1.
Notes:
* This is unstable development release. While it has had
fairly extensive testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
remaining to be found. This release should not be used
in production.
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing
copy of GTK+-2.0. If you have problems, you'll need
to reinstall GTK+-2.0.6.
* GTK+-2.2 will be source and binary compatible with
the GTK+-2.0.x series; however, the new API additions
in GTK+-2.1.1 are not yet finalized, so there may
be incompatibities between this release and the final
2.2 release.
* Remaining API issues for GTK+-2.2 can be found with following
bugzilla query:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gtk%2b&target_milestone=2.2+API+Freeze&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED
* GTK+-2.1.x exposes a bug in libgnomeui where libgnomeui
was creating a widget of type GtkWidget instead of a derived
class; to fix this, upgrade to libgnomeui-2.1.0.
* You'll need at least Pango-1.1.2 or Pango-1.0.5 for correct
operation.
* GTK+ looks for theme engines in a version dependent directory,
so you'll need to reinstall any theme engines you want to use.
* Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
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.

has been released. It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/ .
