[Announce] gEdit 0.5.0

[Alex Roberts <bse dial pipex com>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of version 0.5.0 of gEdit, a small but powerful
text editor for the GNOME project. The most prominent change in the gEdit 
development model is that, as of the the 0.5.0 series, gEdit will no longer
support standalone GTK, and will require the GNOME libraries - there are a
number of reasons for this change, if you're interested in what they are you'll
probably want to check the most recent Status Report posted to the gEdit
website and mailing list. This version has full support for the GNOME 0.99.x
and (tentative) GNOME 1.0 API, and as such seamlessly integrates with the rest
of the GNOME desktop environment.  A relatively complete list of new features
since 0.4.9 can be found below:

	* Drag and Drop support from GMC, the Gnome Filemanager.
	* A good deal of enhancements to the plugins interface, and to
	  existing plugins, such as the ability to select what plugins to
	  load, and enhancements to existing plugins to integrate better
	  with the rest of the GNOME desktop.
	* Major UI enhancements, also for better GNOME integration.
	* Code cleanup - most of this just being removing outdated code that
	  enabled support of standalone GTK.
	* More bug fixes, including the ability to use keyboard accelerators.
