Libglade-1.99.6 now available



A new release of libglade for the gnome 2.0 platform is now available. It is available at: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/earthquake/sources/libglade/libglade-1.99.6.tar.gz

This release contains a number of fixes to both the library and the libglade-convert script. I recommend you reparse your glade1 files through the conversion script after upgrading (or if the package uses libglade-convert as part of its build process, you could try rebuilding the package).

Some of the new features include:

- better handling of the "visible" property. It should now get applied after children have been created. This is the same behaviour as stable libglade, and should work around some sizing bugs (such as for option menus).

- Support for stock menu items. If libglade was not correctly displaying some of your menu items, and "grep GNOMEUIINFO_MENU oldfile.glade" turns up any results, then this fix should help you. It adds "label", "use_underline" and "use_stock" custom properties to GtkMenuItem (similar to the real props on GtkButton), which allow stock menu items to work. There is also some libglade-convert changes to convert the old GNOMEUIINFO stuff to the new properties.

- Many other bug fixes and improvements.

If you have gcc-2.95.x, and had trouble building libglade out of CVS, where it would choke while parsing the gmessage.h header from glib, that problem should be fixed now. I had -ansi in the CFLAGS which caused gcc to turn off support for ISO varargs, while glib had detected that the compiler could support them during its configuration. Sorry if this inconvenienced you.

James.
