Bonobo 0.6 is out

[Miguel de Icaza <miguel gnu org>]

Hello guys,

  A new release of Bonobo hits the FTP server.

* Availability

  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/bonobo

* New in this release

      * Nat's renaming of Gnome to Bonobo for the module name, and the
        APIs.

      * Activation support on Controls.

      * Controls work now.

      * Controls/ControlFrames: lets you embed single GtkWidgets.
        Simpler than writing Views/Embeddables, as they are
        single-view based.

      * Toolbar/Menu merging 

      * PropertyBag support (Like Delphi's Properties, actually,
        inspired by its interfaces), using the nice POA trick to
        demultiplex requests.

      * Controls can be embedded in Toolbars

      * BonoboDesktopWindow: handler for your GtkWindow to expose a
        Bonobo interface.

      * BonoboWidget: simplified embedding of Embeddables or
        Controls. 

      * New GenericFactory object implementation

      * Resizing has changed and works better.

      * New Gshell for testing multiviews.

      * New setup for setting up _epvs and vepvs.

      * More sample components, more sample code, more documentation. 

      * GnomeWrapper supports borders on activation.

      * Lots of bug fixes

* Upcoming work

   0.7 will be released soon with Maciej's optimization for avoiding
using GtkPlug/GtkSocket when the components are on the same address
space (shared library components) and Havoc's work on adding libOAF
support.  Expect this next week.
   
Enjoy,
Miguel.
