ANNOUNCE: GtkSheet-8.0

[Adrian Feiguin <feiguin magnet fsu edu>]

GtkSheet is a matrix widget for Gtk+. It consist of an scrollable grid of
cells where you can allocate text which can be edited interactively. It is
also a container subclass so it allows you to display buttons, curves,
pixmaps and any other widget in it. You can also set many attributes as:
border, foreground and background color, text justification, etc. GtkSheet
comes also with an extra set of useful widgets: GtkComboBox, GtkColorCombo,
and GtkBorderCombo. A demo program shows all of them interacting in a
spreadsheet-like GUI.

This distribution includes the following set of widgets:

    * GtkSheet
    * GtkItemEntry
    * GtkComboBox
    * GtkColorCombo
    * GtkBorderCombo

and a demo program showing their features acting interactivelly.

GtkSheet-7.8
============

- Bugfix release.

  * GtkSheetEntry was grabbing focus with button presses.
    Now it doesn't do that with right button to avoid problems with popups.
    (Thanks to Scott Dattalo <sdattalo@unix.sri.com> and
     Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>) 

GtkSheet-7.7
============

- Bugfix release.

    Both patched by Sam Phillips from the quicklist team.
    <sam@usaworks.com>

  List of fixed bugs:
  * Ctrl+Key.
  * row/column deletion.
  * flashing range scrolling.
  * child widgets scrolling.
  * auto scrolling.
    (If you click on the last cell of a row/column, the sheet scrolls to show the 
     entire cell.)

    (patched by Sam Phillips from the quicklist team <sam@usaworks.com>)

- Renamed libGtkSheet.a as libgtksheet.a

GtkSheet-7.5
============

- New field in the GtkSheetCell struct : 
  gpointer link;

- You can link a cell to an object using:
  gtk_sheet_link_cell(GtkSheet *sheet, gint row, gint col, gpointer link);
  gtk_sheet_get_link(GtkSheet *sheet, gint row, gint col);

  The only efect is making cell->link point to the given object.

- New signal "clear cell"

- Bug fix in column shifts when they are deleted
  Thanks to Nick Slobodsky <pentahd@pentahd.redline.ru> 

GtkSheet-7.4
============

* Rows/Columns insertion/deletion optimized.

* Improvements in scrollbars

* Improvements in dragging and resizing selections

* Features added:

- Multiline button labels. ("this is\na multiline\nlabel")

- Themeable button gadgets.

- gtk_sheet_attach (GtkSheet *sheet, GtkWidget *child,
		    gint row, gint column,
		    gfloat x_align, gfloat y_align); 

  Attaches a child widget to the given cell with the given alignments.
  The child is reallocated each time the column or row changes, keeping
  attached to the same cell.

- GTK_SHEET_ADJUST_TEXT flag renamed as GTK_SHEET_CLIP_TEXT

Thanks to Jan Fedak <J.Fedak@sh.cvut.cz> for his comments, and to the
quicklist team for their perseverance (www.quicklist.org).


GtkSheet-7.3
============

Silly but big bug fixed on previous version.

More silly bugs fixed. Thanks again to Sam and Bob.
(gtk_sheet_set_column_width/row_height, gtksheet_row/column_set_sensitivity)

Thanks to Erwan Corvellec <eco@club-internet.fr> for his patches and bug reports.

Twitching scrollbars aren't anymore.

Makefile builds libGtkSheet.a


GtkSheet-7.1
============

Maily a bug fix release, and some new features:

* About a dozen of "invisible" bugs fixed thanks to Quicklist team 
(www.quicklist.org). Special thanks to Bob Lissner <lissnerr@ColdSprings.net>
and Sam Philips <sam@usaworks.com>. GtkSheet is being used by Quicklist,
and these guys made a lot of tests for it. 

* Features added:

 - gtk_sheet_set_column_titles_height(GtkSheet *sheet, gint height);

 - gtk_sheet_set_row_titles_width(GtkSheet *sheet, gint width);

 - gtk_sheet_column_set_justification(GtkSheet *sheet, gint column, 
                                      gint justification);

  If column->justification != GTK_JUSTIFY_FILL (default value) it 
  will always win over individual cells' justifications.

  - New flag: GTK_SHEET_AUTO_SCROLL. For default this flag is on. If
  you turn it off, gtksheet won't scroll automatically to keep the 
  active cell in the viewport. 


GtkSheet-7.0
============

GtkSheet has moved to gtk+-1.2 and new features have been added.
This version has been tested with gtk+-1.2.0

* GtkSheet is a self scrolling widget a la GtkClist and GtkLayout. 
You have to add it to a scrolled window to display it propertly.
Shadow borders will be fixed with the patch added to gtkscrolledwindow.

* Container features implemented. Adding widgets to the sheet is very easy
with:

gtk_sheet_put (GtkSheet *sheet, GtkWidget *child, gint x, gint y);

* Move it with

gtk_sheet_move_child (GtkSheet *sheet, GtkWidget *widget, gint x, gint y);

* Remove it with

gtk_container_remove(GTK_CONTAINER(sheet), GtkWidget *child);

* Some signals have been renamed:

  "activate_cell" -> "activate"
  "deactivate_cell" -> "deactivate"
 
* Rejection option for activation/deactivation of the active cell.

* New signals:

  "new_column_width"
  "new_row_height"

* new function 

gtk_sheet_set_cell_text(GtkSheet *sheet, gint row, gint col, gchar *text);
(you don't have to set the justification)

* Some minor bugs fixed.

GtkSheet Xtra Widgets Set
=========================

GtkComboBox: 
============
Derived from Paolo Molaro's GtkCombo, it consists of a button, an arrow button,
and a popup window with a frame, that can contain a widget which is displayed
with the arrow. You can pack any widget in the frame (e.g. GtkCalendar).
It has been thought to be a parent class for the following widgets: 

GtkColorCombo:
==============
It's a GtkComboBox subclass with a pallette of colors diplayed in a table.

GtkBorderCombo:
==============
It's a GtkComboBox subclass with a set of border patterns displayed in a table.
