Guikachu 0.7 "Pocketylase" - PalmOS resource file editor for GNOME



Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new release of Guikachu is available.

About this release
------------------
Altough when Guikachu started, I haven't considered this feature
either practical or possible, we now have native font support. This
improves the form editor in a major way -- maybe a pixel-perfect
preview is not that far-out either.

New features:
	* A great icon! Thanks for Basilio Briceno for drawing the
	  Guikachu icon
	* XSLT stylesheets to generate RCP files from Guikachu files
	  anywhere, without running (or even installing!) Guikachu
	* Native font support! This only includes the standard fonts,
	  support for custom fonts is not available in the current
	  version.

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 1.2.0)
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!
