Hi all,
branches master and stable-3.2 are not anymore proceeding in parallel in
my git repository.
In particular, the master branch already has the following changes:
- GLib/GObject bindings are now separate from the GTK bindings
- a new shared library is installed, libgst-gobject.so, containing the
common functionality shared by the GLib and GTK bindings. The ABI of
this library will be stable, but only after 3.3 is released.
- GObject-Introspection bindings are included in the
GObject-Introspection package.
Focus for 3.3 will be on improving bindings, possibly using the
GObject-Introspection support (which may become mandatory before the
release, depending on when/whether libgirepository gets into Fedora).
This could be the code that Denis is working on or something completely
different. Time will tell! It may or may not be backwards-compatible
with the existing GTK bindings, though I hope search-and-replace will be
enough to reconcile the differences.
Other possible changes will be:
- deprecating the <library> tag in the package description and replacing
it with, well, something else;
- deprecating Namespace>>#current: to improve thread-safety of file-ins
(suggested by Gwen);
- miscellaneous VisualGST improvements;
- other bindings, including the mythical GnuTLS support;
- support for non-Unix platforms, including the mythical support for
Windows sockets and the also mythical MacOS X installer.
- inclusion of Seaside 3.0.x.
GNU Smalltalk 3.2.4 will be released later this month.
Paolo
