[Glade-devel] Glade 3.9.0 Released

Glade 3.10 will be a big step forward, removing widgets and ABI on
libglade-ui. When users min 3.10 expects more features no remove ones.

I think Glade 3.10 must be called 4.0 in line with Gtk+ 3.0 it points
to, and because it removes legacy widgets and libglade-ui ABI changes.

... And so it was, that yet another GNOME module updated itself to build
against the mighty forces of GTK+ 3.0 ... and they lived happily
ever ...

That's right folks, Glade for GTK+ 3.0 is here... this is the first
development release leading up to Glade 3.10 which will run against
GTK+ 3.0, currently this software builds and runs against the latest
GTK+ git master.

Few things I need/would like to mention for this release:

Plans:
-----
 ? Let it be known that we plan to release a stable Glade 3.8
and a stable Glade 3.10 in parallel for GNOME 3.

Glade 3.8: ?Will include all support Glade has always included
 ? ? ? ? ? ?for GTK+ up till version 2.24.
Glade 3.10: Will include support only for widgets that are still
 ? ? ? ? ? ?included in GTK+ 3.0 and additionally drops support
 ? ? ? ? ? ?for Libglade.

They will of course be parallel installable, Glade 3.8 in the long
term will hopefully serve as a decent migration path for older
projects migrating to 3.0.

Thanks:
------

Thanks to all the contributors that helped to make this possible.

What is Glade?
============
Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick & easy development of user
interfaces for the GTK+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML, and by using
the GtkBuilder GTK+ object these can be loaded by applications
dynamically as needed.

By using GtkBuilder, Glade XML files can be used in numerous
programming languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl,
Python, and others.

Glade 3.9.0
===========

 ? ? ? ?- General build fixes for building with GTK+ 3.0, including
 ? ? ? ? ?patches from Johannes Schmid, Matthias Clasen, Javier Jard?n
 ? ? ? ? ?and Juan Pablo Ugarte.
 ? ? ? ?- Included the new Preview feature by
 ? ? ? ? ?Marco Diego Aur?lio Mesquita.
 ? ? ? ?- Various leaks and crashes fixed.
 ? ? ? ?- GladeWidget becomes GInitiallyUnowned, refcounting improved
 ? ? ? ? ?for project dispose cycles.
 ? ? ? ?- Handle combo-box entry child properly (bug 581580).
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed crashes when textview's buffer is deleted, fix by
 ? ? ? ? ?Martin Schlemmer, bug 609748.
 ? ? ? ?- Restored property order of project objects at save time
 ? ? ? ? ?(glade files no longer container irrelevant diffs).
 ? ? ? ?- Hide editor properties when the property is not available on
 ? ? ? ? ?the widget, bug 585299,
 ? ? ? ? ?fix by Marco Diego Aur?lio Mesquita.
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed makefiles as per bug 521713 (patch initially by
 ? ? ? ? ?Daniel Macks).
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed mixups of properties vs packing properties (bug 637475).
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed class header of GladeEditor to update when widgets
 ? ? ? ? ?unload (patch by ?Marco Diego Aur?lio Mesquita, bug 637541).
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed particalarly nasty crasher bug when loading/saving
 ? ? ? ? ?treestore column definitions, special thanks goes to
 ? ? ? ? ?Benjamin Otte, bug 637563.
 ? ? ? ?- Add progress bar to notebook tab of currently loading
 ? ? ? ? ?project (now the whole UI doesnt jam up while loading a
 ? ? ? ? ?big project).
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed notebook tab style to use the new CSS stuff.
 ? ? ? ?- Removed widgets that are not available in 3.0
 ? ? ? ?- Completely removed Libglade support
 ? ? ? ?- Removed GladeClipBoardView completely
 ? ? ? ?- Removed GladeParameter obsolete code
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed editor labels to use natural word wrapping
 ? ? ? ?- Drop GtkTables in editors in favor of GtkGrid
 ? ? ? ?- Added custom editor for editing GtkActionGroup and managing
 ? ? ? ? ?child actions
 ? ? ? ?- Ran 'indent' on source base, new Glade coding style more
 ? ? ? ? ?similar to GTK+ style
 ? ? ? ?- Removed boolean "fixed" catalog attribute, instead
 ? ? ? ? ?<create-widget-function> can be used to specify a derived
 ? ? ? ? ?GladeWidget to be used in the runtime.
 ? ? ? ?- Use locale-independent strtod & dtostr. Fixes bug 616787,
 ? ? ? ? ?fix by Christian Persch.
 ? ? ? ?- Applying patch to allow better builds on win32,
 ? ? ? ? ?patch by Dieter Verfaillie, bug 634978.
 ? ? ? ?- Fixed loaded state of use-action-appearance so that it always
 ? ? ? ? ?loads as FALSE if there is no "related-action" at load time
 ? ? ? ? ?(closes bug 582882).
 ? ? ? ?- Sealed entire core API, libgladeui-2 will be ABI stable
 ? ? ? ? ?after 3.10 release.
 ? ? ? ?- Removed GladeApp::update-ui signal, active-project,
 ? ? ? ? ?selection handling and implied commands, everything now must
 ? ? ? ? ?be done in context of a GladeProject.
 ? ? ? ?- Optimized GladeEditor to load a widget faster by keeping all
 ? ? ? ? ?the cached pages in internal vboxes and not remove/adding them
 ? ? ? ? ?but just hide/showing them (improves object selection time).
 ? ? ? ?- Optimized frontend to load one palette per project, verifying
 ? ? ? ? ?the palette for version information when the related project
 ? ? ? ? ?is set costs around 1 second, this is now only experienced
 ? ? ? ? ?when the target version is changed in the project prefs
 ? ? ? ? ?dialog.

Where can I get it ?
