Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
A new unstable release of Guikachu is available.
About Guikachu
--------------
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.

About this release
------------------
This release is part of the 1.5 development branch, so it's all about
crazy experimentations and not about providing a polished, well-tested
product. However, 1.5.6 now contains everything planned for our next
stable release, 2.0, so please help us by trying it and reporting
problems.
New in this release:
Completely reworked the menu editor, based on valuable input from the
GNOME Usability Workgroup.
Guikachu uses the GNOME 2 platform, particularly the GNOMEmm and GTKmm
C++ bindings. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also
need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files
produced by Guikachu.
Beware of bugémons!
