[anjuta-devel] GDL API changes done

[Sébastien Granjoux <seb sfo free fr>]

Hi all,


I have spent the last days to changed GDL API. The main change has been 
to remove all public members and preprocessor macros and replace them 
with functions to allow easier changes in the future.

I have mostly kept the binary compatibility with the previous interface 
if the symbol GDL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is not defined. Anjuta seems to 
work without needing a recompilation. I have not checked with Inkscape 
nor Nemiver.

I think, I have now a quite complete understanding of GDL. I have 
changes the way it's working internally (hiding widgets instead of 
removing them) causing several breakage a few weeks ago. I hope I have 
done it better this time.

If you have some ideas for GDL future, I'm interested to discuss them. 
On my side, I don't plan any change for this cycle but perhaps for the 
next one, by example an auto hiding panel.


Regards,

Sébastien
