Both of these have been discussed previously, but now they're posted as topic branches in the main repo. (I've also pushed a few non-controversial GTK2 changes to the 8.0 and 7.8 branches.)
Branch: rosuav/pango_xy_to_char Adds a new method xy_to_char() to the GTK2.Pango.Layout object, parallel to xy_to_index(). It'll be slower, as it has to do more work, but it feels cleaner. Pike code constructs Pango layout objects using Unicode strings, not UTF-8, so getting back character indexes makes more sense than byte positions. Branch: rosuav/naglingcontrol Adds a new method nodelay() to Stdio.File to control the TCP_NODELAY flag. This is definitely debatable, as there's now starting to be more of a proliferation of flag-controlling methods. Would it be better to have a single method to set/reset flags? How should detection of available flags be done? (With the nodelay() method, the presence of the function implies its callability.) If this were Python, we'd have a lengthy python-ideas thread and probably a PEP to discuss this. :) Thoughts? ChrisA
