GObject property binding support in Glade - Weekly Report 10

[Denis Washington <denisw online de>]

(Resending as "Weekly Report 10" as I accidently forgot to update the 
subject - copy-paste error...)

Hello,

Sorry for being so late with this report; I am at my parents' house 
currently, so I didn't have as much coding time due to family 
activities. However, I took some time in the weekend and today, the 
result of which being that there is now full support for transformation 
functions in the Glade UI!

What this means is that you can now enable the use of a transformation 
function in the "Bind to source..." dialog and type in the function's 
name. My GTK+ branch can then use this information to correctly connect 
the function. (I implemented the GTK+ part last week [1].)

This means that the branch is now essentially feature complete! There 
are still two features of g_object_bind_property() that I mentioned in 
my original project plan and which are not yet exposed in Glade - 
two-way bindings and control over the G_BINDING_SYNC_CREATE flag - but 
these are not really important and might not make their way into the 
branch (at least during GSoC). More probably I will focus exclusively on 
bug fixing, corner case cleanup and UI improvements in the remaining 
weeks, which includes getting my work reviewed by my mentor, Glade's 
maintainer Tristan van Berkom and the GTK+ team. I'm going to talk with 
my mentor about this very soon.

Regards,
Denis Washington
