Peacock 1.9.1 released!



Hi all

Admirers of fair creatures and HTML Editor named after them, a new version of
Peacock - An HTML Editor for Gnome, v1.9.1 has been released. Sporting a new
Gnome 2 look and more importantly WYSIWYG (yes! WYSIWYG) HTML Editing
capabilities using the GtkHTML bonobo control (you might have bumped into it
while composing a email in evo).

Features
--------

* WYSIWYG HTML Editing supporting basic HTML like Tables, Lists and the
  few templates provided by the bonobo control.
  (God bless component programming :-)

Dependencies
------------

Although a runtime dependency and NOT a compile time dependency, you will need
the latest GtkHTML 3.0 installed (for the control).

Bugs
----

There are a few bugs (2-3) which are a result of the GtkHTML bonobo control.
Rest assured they have been fixed in GtkHTML and if you upgrade to the (yet
to be released) bug-fix GtkHTML, it should be ok. For those interested the 2 
known and major bugs are

1. It doesn't ask for saving modified files on closing the file.
2. When opening multiple files, the HTML Insertion commands work only on the
last file open.

Note: Peacock 1.9.1 is still in its nascent stages and users requiring a 
stable version are encouraged (yes you heard it) to try it and give feedback
and bug reports.

Enjoy!
