ANNOUNCE: Guikachu 0.4 "Unquote"



Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new release of Guikachu is available. It is a major improvement over
the previous releases: it includes the Form Editor.

About Guikachu

About this release
------------------
This release features many polishment fixes both in the user interface
and in the code-base. Buttons and Graffiti(tm) shift state indicators
are also supported.

New features:
	* The file specified on the command line is loaded at startup
	* You can remove widgets (only from the tree view)
	* Updated Form to support the `default button' property (the
	  default button is the one returned by a modal form if it is
	  closed by switching to another application)
	* Finished Label support (added the Usable property)
	* New supported widgets: Button, Repeating Button, Graffiti
	  State Indicator
	* User interface improvements: 
	    * The widget selecting bug (you could select only the Form by
	      clicking on it in the preview window) that existed in the
	      previous version is fixed (needs GNOME-- 1.1.17+)
	    * Text entries and textboxes save the cursor position
	      before upgrading the resource, so you can type
	      continously
      	    * Fixes in selection handling in the button list of the
	      dialog editor
	* Tons of under-the-hood improvements


Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented with the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. You will need the versions of these packages available in
the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of GNOME-- which you will
need to upgrade to version 1.1.17)
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.

Beware of bugémons!

        Cactus
