Gtkaml 0.2.7 requires glib-2.0, vala-1.0 >= 0.7.3, libxml-2.0, and gtk+-2.0
Changes:
* upgraded to valacompiler 0.7.3
Gtkaml is an XML parser that extends the Vala.Parser and transforms
your markup into a valid Gtk+ GUI class described in the Vala
language.
<VBox class:name="MyVBox" xmlns="Gtk" xmlns:class="http://gtkaml.org/0.2">
<Label label="_Hello" with-mnemonic="true"
expand="false" fill="false" padding="0" />
</VBox>
Features
* compact XML syntax for describing Gtk widgets
* code 'islands' (written in Vala) for signal handling and other
methods/signals/properties/ in your widget class (so you don't modify
the generated code ever)
* doesn't depend on an external library at run-time (other than Gtk+)
* much more readable than the usual UI boilerplate (e.g. you don't
need to worry about temporary variable names, or ever write hundreds
of lines of code/markup)
Gtkaml 0.2.x is currently in maintainence mode. Only releases to sync
with Vala are made, and bugs may be fixed if they don't require
re-architecturing.
Gtkaml 0.4 is in prototyping phase. Changes include re-using Vala's
parser for expressions and Vala symbol resolver as much as possible,
opening the oportunity to data binding based on 'notify' signal.
