I have put up a test release of stable gnome-python at:
  http://www.gnome.org/~james/gnome-python-SNAP-20011226.tar.gz

I won't have time to release this for about a week, so any bug reports 
would be useful (bug reports at http://bugzilla.gnome.org are prefered 
-- they are less likely to get lost that way).  At the moment, I am not 
planning on adding any new features for this release (they will be 
considered after the release though -- note that most new feature work 
is being put into the 2.0 platform).

If you only want to test out pygtk, download the above tarball and 
change to the pygtk/ subdirectory before running configure and make. 
 There will be a separate pygtk tarball for the final release.

Main features in this release include:
  - changes to the code generator to do more checking of return values
    (catch NULL returns). This should make it harder to crash python when
    using pygtk (similar checking occurs in the development series).

  - easily disable pygtk threading support for an app without needing to
    recompile pygtk with support disabled.  This can help when using pygtk
    with other packages that use glib and python threading (such as
    orbit-python), or problems with library APIs that don't work cleanly
    with threading enabled (such as the gnome_dialog_run() problem someone
    was having earlier).

  - switched over to autoconf-2.52 and automake-1.5.  This should make
    debugging easier for me, as the config.log file is a lot more
    informative :)
 
  - Many bug fixes -- see the ChangeLog for details.


The release will most likely happen around 4th or 5th of January, so 
there is time to test it.

James.
