Thanks a load, Andy. Maybe Havoc will clear it for 1.4/2.0.

(I have sinned. GNOME developers, please pardon me)
This is to announce GtkCanvas 0.1, a backport of the GnomeCanvas widget to
gtk+. It can be downloaded from
http://www.atai.org/gtk-canvas/gtk-canvas-0.1.tar.gz
As a generic gtk+ widget, GtkCanvas only depends on GdkImlib and gtk+.
This widget behaves identically to the GnomeCanvas widget, with the same
APIs, except the API names are changed from gnome_canvas to gtk_canvas.
Currently the widget still depends on GdkImLib, which is available from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/imlib/
Modern GNU/Linux distributions like Red Hat should come with it already.
Since the next version of gtk+ will drop GdkImLib and intgrate with
gdk-pixbuf, it is expected that future versions of this widget will depend
upon gtk+ only.
I intend to have GtkCanvas follows GnomeCanvas closely and merges new code
whenever a stable release of the latter is made. Thus this is not really a
fork but rather a "re-packaging" of the same code. I recommend that people
consider using the GNOME libraries first before using this widget, as the
GNOME framework provides many services, much more than a canvas widget.
If the gtk+ maintainers decide someday to place this widget into gtk+, then I
shall turn this to them and stop distribute this widget separately.
***PLEASE CONSIDER USING THE GNOME FRAMEWORK first before using this
widget!!!
Again, I basically did a re-packing. The main authors of this software were
Federico Mena <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (GnomeCanvas) and Raph Levien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(libart_lgpl).
Since this is the first release of this widget, there may be bugs.
Please let me know of any problems.
Thanks,
Andy Tai
