Announce: Gtk-- 1.1.7

[Karl Nelson <kenelson ece ucdavis edu>]

Gtk-- 1.1.7 
-------------- 
Gtk-- is a C++ interface for the popular GUI library gtk. Gtk-- provides 
convenient interface for C++ programmers to create graphical user 
interfaces with gtk's flexible OO framework. Highlights include typesafe 
callbacks, widgets extensible using inheritance and over 110 classes that 
can be freely combined to quickly create complex user interfaces. Gtk-- 
is free software distributed under GNU Library General Public License (LGPL). 

Gtk-- API is going into a good solid freeze.  Gnome-- is getting close.
Now is an excellent time to start cutting your old gtk-- code over, 
give us feedback on what needs fixing before stable, or give the kit a 
fresh look.   As we are trying to encourage people to upgrade, we have 
included a perl script in 1.1.7 which will attempt to change gtk-- 1.0
programs to 1.1.

Documentation and tutorial are still not yet complete. The tutorial is 
already very usuable, and there are numerous working examples. As
always if you are willing to help drop by our mailing list.

Gtk-- 1.1.6 was recalled prior to announcement on the lists because of 
mistake in a constructor.  Users with copies of this distribution should
upgrade.
