ANNOUNCE: Glade-Perl 0.48

[Dermot Musgrove <dermot glade perl connectfree co uk>]

Hi all,
I have just uploaded perl module Glade-Perl-0.48.tar.gz to CPAN
    ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Glade/

and it is already available on my websites.
    http://www.glade.perl.connectfree.co.uk/index.html
    http://freespace.virgin.net/dermot.musgrove/computers/perl/index.html

Glade-Perl generates perl source code from a Glade file - Glade is Damon
Chaplin's beautiful Gtk+/Gnome UI builder. 

Glade-Perl can display the UI as it is built and/or generate source code 
and it can be called directly from Glade's 'Build' button. It can also
generate code to use libglade if you prefer.

This version generates simpler and more usable code. If you have had trouble
connecting signals to your handlers, this may be an improvement.

I have made quite a few changes and there are some bug fixes too :)

Existing projects should work with the new code but _please_ email me if 
you have any problems at all.

Regards, Dermot

Mon Feb 14 18:45:48 GMT 2000 - Dermot Musgrove <dermot.musgrove@virgin.net>
  - Version 0.48
  - Makefile.PL extended to check for required perl modules and to install
    Example/glade2perl. Also customises call to pod2man to quote us as the
    origin (pod2man is not Y2K compliant! check the date :)
  - PerlGenerate->Form_from_Pad_Proto() and PerlSource->perl_SUBCLASS_header
    fixed to handle null source_directory and pixmaps_directory project 
    options for Glade-0.5.6 (defaulting to ./src and ./pixmaps).
  - Example/glade2perl amended to handle any Glade file suffix properly.
  - PerlSource changed to generate correct about boxes (doesn't allow_grow)
  - PerlUI->use_par() tidied a little
  - PerlUIExtra->new_GtkPixmapMenuitem() updated to use new lookup subs to
    handle the Gnome UIINFO type Gtk::PixmapMenuItems. Work on underlines
  - PerlUIGtk->new_GtkMenuItem some work to handle underline accelerators.
  - PerlUIGtk->lookup() and PerlUIExtra->lookup() new subs to lookup or 
    synthesise the Gtk/Gnome enums
  - PerlProject->use_Glade_project() amended to read/store the logo file in 
    the project.glade2perl.xml options file for later user hand editing.
  - PerlUI->new_from_child_name() and PerlUI->internal_pack_widget() fixed 
    to append a space before buttons with new group set.
  - PerlUI->new_signal() eval amended to quote the signal name to allow the
    use of 'funny' characters in handler names and so that signal handlers 
    are searched for in the class that instantiates the UI. This makes the 
    code much more flexible and useful - for instance perl scripts (package 
    main) also can new() and show() the UI and expect the signal handlers to 
    connect.
    Thanks to Robert Schwebel for ideas and testing.
  - I have removed all use English; calls and renamed associated system vars.
  - PerlSource->write_SUBCLASS() and write_LIBGLADE() added some blank lines
    and ' # End of sub $handler' at end of each generated handler
  - All widget constructors should now generate numeric args unquoted.
  - PerlUIGtk->new_GtkVButtonBox() and new_HButtonBox() now generates code
    for set_child_ipadding()
  - PerlUIGtk->new_HPaned() and new_VPaned() now set_postion()
  - PerlGenerate->own_logo() to return our logo. 
    Our logo written to pixmaps directory on first run for this project
  - PerlSource reorganised and code generation simplified so that we now
    generate ProjectUI.pm and ProjectSIGS.pm and Project.pm for the user
    to edit and a subclass of it called SubProject.pm. The last two files 
    are only written if they are missing (ie first time through) so you are 
    safe to edit them in situ and copy-paste new handlers from the generated 
    ProjectSIGS.pm file.
    Thanks to Stas Bekman for ideas.
  - PerlProject and PerlGenerate altered to simlify the project, options and
    glade file structure.
