Hi all,

With Axel's permission I'm helping out with the release of gtk2hs-0.12.1


Pre-release tarballs
====================

I've got some pre-release tarballs for you all to try out and report
issues.

http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/

There's the buildtools and the five core packages. I've also got the
soegtk package.

I've not yet tried the other packages (gtksourceview, svgcairo etc). If
anyone wants to try the other packages then please do and if possible
send any patches to fix build issues.


Testing
=======

Please try these tarballs out on your platform and send us your results.
I have tested only on Linux so far, but I have checked that it builds
with ghc-6.10.4, 6.12.3, 7.0.4 and 7.2.1.

Note that users of ghc-6.10 will need to first install a more recent
version of the Cabal library, at least 1.8. This is straightforward and
should not break anything.


Try with cabal-install
======================

If you've got cabal-install version 0.10 or later you can copy and paste
this huge command line to install them all:

cabal install 
http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/gtk2hs-buildtools-0.12.1.tar.gz
cabal install http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/glib-0.12.1.tar.gz 
http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/gio-0.12.1.tar.gz 
http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/pango-0.12.1.tar.gz 
http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/cairo-0.12.1.tar.gz 
http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/gtk-0.12.1.tar.gz 
http://code.haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/soegtk-0.12.0.tar.gz

(Yes, cabal can install directly from local and remote tarballs these days)


Changes
=======

The main improvement is that it builds with GHC 7.2

Thanks to the several people who have sent in patches recently, in
particular Daniel Wagner, Adam Sampson and Julian Gilbey.
