wiz be9ba77985 Update to 0.40.91 snapshot, by Greg Troxel via pkgsrc-wip.
NEWS since guile-gtk-1.2-0.31

* Guile-gtk-1.2 is now part of the GNU Project.

* Drag'n'Drop support - see examples/test-dnd.scm

* GdkPixbuf bindings. Formerly these bindings were part of
  guile-gnome, unfortunately they were far from compelete,
  moreover they were not working at all. Now there are full
  GdkPixbuf bindings in the (gtk-1.2 gdk-pixbuf) module.

* LibGlade bindings (formerly part of gnome-guile). Imported from
  gnome-guile, completed and improved. Now it is possible to
  autoconnect scheme functions and build a guile-gtk (glade)
  application in three commands - see examples/test-glade.scm and the
  little bit longer examples/run-glade.scm.

  You can find libGlade bindings in the (gtk-1.2 glade) module.

* GtkGLArea bindings (formerly part of guileGL). Imported from
  guileGL, completed and improved.

  (gtk-1.2 gdk-gl) module provides bindings for Gdk part of GtkGLArea
  library (GdkGLContext, GdkGLPixmap etc), (gtk-1.2 gtk-gl-area) has
  bindings for GtkGLArea functions.

* configure script has options --with-gdk-pixbuf, --with-glade and
  --with-gtkgl. Just in case you would like to turn off these new
  nifty features.

* build-guile-gtk-1.2 supports functions with arbitrary number of
  required arguments.

* GtkPixmap bindings closely reflects C API, helper function
  gtk-pixmap-new-from-file implements old behaviour.
  GtkPixmap bindings are complete.

* Lots of additional bindings, especially for Gdk.

NEWS in guile-gtk-1.2-0.31

* Bug fixes.

NEWS in guile-gtk-1.2-0.30

* Support for Gnome and Gtk+-2.0 has been removed.

  The modules have been renamed from (gtk ...) to (gtk-1.2 ...).  They
  are still available under their old names, but the new ones are
  preferred.

  Likewise, build-guile-gtk has been renamed to build-guile-gtk-1.2,
  with the old name still available but deprecated.

  Building new programs with "build-guile-gtk main" is no longer
  supported; only shared libraries are.  Consequently, the guile-gtk
  program is no longer provided.

NEWS in 0.20

* New `cname' option for field specifiers.  You can now specify what
  name to use on the C side for field accessors.  For example, to
  access the allocation.x subfield of a GtkWidget structure, you can use

    (fields
      (int allocation-x (cname allocation.x)))

  The value of the option can be either a symbol or a string.

* New cstring type added to deal with const char *str declarations.

* Guile-gtk will now start the usual `top-repl' of Guile.  The
  processing of Gtk events will happen in a separate handler thread.
  When your Guile doesn't support threading, you get the old event
  driven repl.

* `gdk-event-button-state' and `gdk-event-key-state' have been
  replaced by `gdk-event-state'.  The new function will return a
  GtkModifierType which is a list of symbol such as

    (shift-mask control-mask)

* Automatic *.h->*defs translator

* Threads support

* Experimental GTK+ 2.0 support

* RPM spec file corrected

* Lots of additions and corrections to the *.defs files

* Various bug fixes

Guile-gtk is a library written to make GTK 1.2 accessible from
guile. It provides a convenient interface for Scheme programmers to
develop visual applications. It can also integrate with GNOME via the
Gnome-guile module. (For glib2, see guile-gobject instead.)
Guile-gtk was started by Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de> and
is currently maintained by Ariel Rios <jarios@usa.net> and other
intrepid Guile hackers around the world.
Guile-gtk is free software licensed under the GPL.
