GObject property binding support in Glade - Weekly Report 01

[Denis Washington <denisw online de>]

Hi,

So this was it, my first week of GSoC work. I must admit that I 
currently don't have as much time as I would like to as my semester is 
not over yet. Having said that, I am actually slightly ahead of my 
schedule. I already finished my first task - extending GTK+'s GtkBuilder 
parser to support a new <binding> element for defining property bindings 
- on Wednesday; there were much lees code changes required than I have 
initially expected. I have pushed a GTK+ branch with the changes (named 
"gtkbuilder-gbinding") to the GTK+ repository at git.gnome.org.

After that I started working on the Glade side of things. I am currently 
working on making Glade's GtkBuilder parser (which is not the same as 
the one of GTK+) recognize the <binding> tag, too, and save the the read 
property bindings as part of its internal data model. Next on the line 
will be support for writing property bindings back to GtkBuilder files. 
So by the end of next week, it should be possible to open GtkBuilder 
files with property binding definitions in Glade and save them later 
without losing any information.

Maybe there'll also be something actually user-visible to show by then; 
we'll see. ;)

Regards,
Denis
