Translator for GNOME 0.1.0

Translator is a simple front-end to AltaVista’s excellent

gnocl 0.5.14

Gnocl 0.5.14 is available at

http://www.dr-baum.net/gnocl/

This release features the ability to develop Gnome panel applets
with Gnocl and Tcl (many thanks to Akos Polster). The tree and list
widgets have a new column type “markup” which allows to format the
cell content with a simple xml syntax and references to rows which
are independent of the sort order, insertion or deletion of rows
have been introduced. Many widget have new options -sizeGroup,
-widthGroup and -heightGroup that allow to set the same size, width
or height for widgets which do not share the same container widget.
Additionally different new options to different widgets have been
introduced and all known bugs have been fixed.
For a detailed list of changes see the NEWS file.

Gnocl is a GTK+ / Gnome extension for the programming language
Tcl, loosely modeled after the Tk package. It provides easy to use
commands to build quickly GTK+ / Gnome compliant applications
including canvas widget, GConf and the Gnome applet. It consists of
several libraries: one for GTK+ widgets, one for the Gnome canvas
widget, one for the GConf database and one for other Gnome related
commands.

This version has been tested with GTK+ 2.2.1, Gnome 2.2.0 and
Tcl 8.4.2 under Linux. A FreeBSD port is also available.

License: BSD type (same as Tcl)
