I have just committed extensive, widespread changes to libgtkmmext to make it work with Gtk-- 1.2.0. Because this version of Gtk-- is fundamentally not even source-compatible with Gtk-- 1.0.2, these changes have been done in a non-backwards-compatible way. This means that my 3 applications, Quasimodo, Ardour and SoftWerk, which use libgtkmmext, now require Gtk-- 1.2.0, and the source will NOT compile with Gtk-- 1.0.2. The last version of the library before this change was tagged in the repository as "pre-gtkmm-2-2". So that I can continue the active development on ardour and softwerk, I have already ported both of these applications to the new version of libgtkmmext. The new versions have been committed into CVS at ardour.sourceforge.net softwerk.sourceforge.net For ardour, I don't think there are any outstanding issues at all - all previous functionality is there. For softwerk, there are a couple of issues that have yet to be resolved that prevent triggers and pattern files from being useful at this time. I will fix these in the next few days. I do not have the time (or energy) to port gtk-quasimodo to the new library right now. This means that for a (short time) gtk-quasimodo will not compile against the new libgtkmmext. Obviously, anyone using the library with my own programs or with their own should plan on installing Gtk-- and installing. The new version of Gtk-- is much nicer in many, many ways. Its getting close to perfect. --p
