Bonobo 0.29 released ...



Bonobo 0.29 the 'Gibbering Gibbon' release is now available. This version
fixes innumerable bugs in the core, and develops and completes some of the
peripheral infastructure.

* Dependencies

        Bonobo 0.29 depends on the as-yet-unreleased ORBit-0.5.6 in which
a number of important fixes are implemented. In order to get Bonobo to
build you need to install the latest stable CVS version with tag 
orbit-stable-0-5, and doctor the orbit-config script in such a way as to
spoof a new version.

        Alternatively you could badger Elliot until he releases a new
version:-)
