General Applet Interface Library 0.5.0pre5

Application

General Applet Interface Library 0.5.0pre5

Description

A library to simplify the writing of Gnome Panel applets

New Features

• gai_applet_mode() added. Returns the GAI_GNOME1/2 or
  GAI_DOCKAPP Sfor those applets that are interested in that.
• New configure and Makefile for applet! It reduces the lines of
  codes needed together with gai_init2()
• You can add your own entries to the right button menu via
  gai_menu_add(…)

Improvements:

• New nice about box for dockapps. The applets icon is now shown
  on it.
• Behavior changes. gai_get_size() in dockapp mode returns the
  smallest one of the height and width. (Sherman’s aquarium wants
  that)
• Examples updated with the new configure script.

Bugfixes:

• More gai.spec fixes by Fabrice.
• Tooltip update fix by Magnus Nordfelth.
• Compiles fine again with gcc 2.9x. Thanks to Eric
  Altendorf
• Makefile fixes by Michael Schwendt

regexxer 0.5

regexxer

regexxer does GUI search/replace in multiple text files, with
visual feedback at every step. You can even see the results of
complex perl regular expressions before applying the changes.

I have taken over maintainership until Daniel Elstner
resurfaces, but I’m just a caretaker. Bring your patches.
