As I said, I think it's meaning should be "don't generate functions that the Gtk2Hs developers think shouldn't be used anymore". This interpretation would have nothing to do with what Gtk+ does. > If we're not going to fix the DISABLE_DEPRECATED stuff, we probably > should remove it entirely.

The set of functions that are deprecated changes with every version number and hence we would need to conditionally remove functions starting from certain version numbers. It's possible, but at the moment I don't think it's worth the hassle. > One other thing... I've been thinking about adding bindings to > other gnome libraries.

I think we will have to package our c2hs as a special tool when we cabalize Gtk2Hs. At that point Gtk2Hs will be split into many packages. That would also enable people to use Cairo and Pango to render PDF files without the GUI parts of Gtk2Hs. > I should have a test release done tonight or tomorrow.
