Gtk2 1.037 (unstable)

[muppet <scott asofyet org>]

Gtk2 is a Perl extension providing Perl bindings to the 2.x series of  
the Gtk+ graphical user interface library.  This module allows you to  
write graphical user interfaces in a perlish and object-oriented way,  
freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining  
very close in spirit to original API.  Find out more about Gtk+ at  
http://www.gtk.org , and about Gtk2-Perl at  
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/ .

!!NOTE!!  Gtk2-Perl is approaching an API freeze on 1 Mar 04.  If you  
have something to say about the Gtk2 API, NOW IS THE TIME.
See the Gnome Platform Bindings Release Set Rules for more info:
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/bindings/rules.html

As always, the code is available from our sourceforge project page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/ 
showfiles.php?group_id=64773&package_id=91218&release_id=220058

...and from anonymous cvs, tagged rel-1-03-7 in the directory  
/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2 -- see the project page for more info.
