We've been discussing renaming libgobject to something else
for a while. For a couple of reasons:
- It may be confusing to have both the library and the object
type named GObject.
- We've discussed moving the mainloop into gobject so it
can use GClosure for callback, libgobject might be a
confusing name then.
- People have been including gobject/gobject.h instead of
glib-object.h
The initial name I suggested was "gruntime", but the reading
of that as grunt-ime makes it an unattractive name.
The current best candidate is "libgrt", as being unmemorable
but unobjectionable.
Other suggestions came up:
libgworld
libgfoundation
libgbase
libgoo [ already used a couple of times ]
liboo [ -loo ]
And it got worse from there. If you have better ideas, or
good reasons to keep the library libgobject, let us know.
Otherwise, I'll make the change in a few days.
Regards,
Owen
