[Maciej Piechotka <uzytkownik2 gmail com>]

We are very pleased to announce version 0.11.4 of Libgee, the GObject 
collection library.

Libgee 0.11.4 is now available for download at:
    http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgee/0.11/


Also please note that now Libgee has its own mailing-list
    http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/libgee-list
and its own #gee IRC channel.


New in 0.11.4
-------------
  * Add flat_map method to Traversable
  * Add zip method to Future
  * Specialize stream iterator (4-22% speed improvement in tests)
  * Extend the Traversable.Stream with Stream.WAIT
  * Fix lazy value usage in unfold


Libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and 
classes for commonly used data structures.

Libgee provides the following interfaces:

     * Traversable
           o Iterable
                 + Collection
                       # List
                             * BidirList
                       # Set
                             * SortedSet
                                 o BidirSortedSet
                       # MultiSet
                       # Queue
                             * Deque
                 + Map
                       # SortedMap
                             * BidirSortedMap
           o Iterator
                 + BidirIterator
                       # BidirListIterator
                 + ListIterator
                       # BidirListIterator
     * MultiMap
     * Future

The ArrayList, ArrauQueue, ConcurrentLinkedList, ConcurrentSet,
HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList,
PriorityQueue, Promise, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap
classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces.
In addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease
the implementation of new collections.

Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views, 
efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable 
iterators depending on the collection type.

Libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C 
library. It's planned to provide bindings for further languages.
