Re: [ANNOUNCE] Libgee 0.13.4 - GObject collection library

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

I can see this version is incremental (point release like) over 0.8, and packaged as 0.8.

Could you add that information in order to others know that 0.10, 0.12 and upcomming 0.14 will be API/ABI compatible with 0.8 series?

As I can see you've take care about API and more importantly ABI, at C level, stability on 0.8 to 0.12. Could you point that in your release information?

I think this is very importantly in order to know Libgee stability and avoid fear about depend on this library, contrary with other Vala libraries like Personas, that may be don't know how to maintain API and ABI stability across different Vala versions.

May is very important to add your recommendations on API/ABI stability on Vala wiki, or link from Libgee wiki.

I'm trying to fix a bug on GXml/Serialization and want to use Libgee to avoid most iteration/containers/collection bugs.

Many thanks.

We are very pleased to announce version 0.13.0 of Libgee, the GObject
collection library.

Libgee 0.13.4 is now available for download at:
    http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgee/0.13/


Also please note that now Libgee has its own mailing-list
    http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/libgee-list
and its own #gee IRC channel.


New in 0.13.4
-------------
  * The collection cloning no longer leaks memory
  * Various warning fixes
  * Various fixes to build system

Libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and
classes for commonly used data structures.

Libgee provides the following interfaces:

     * Traversable
           o Iterable
                 + Collection
                       # List
                             * BidirList
                       # Set
                             * SortedSet
                                 o BidirSortedSet
                       # MultiSet
                       # Queue
                             * Deque
                 + Map
                       # SortedMap
                             * BidirSortedMap
           o Iterator
                 + BidirIterator
                       # BidirListIterator
                 + ListIterator
                       # BidirListIterator
     * MultiMap
     * Future

The ArrayList, ArrauQueue, ConcurrentLinkedList, ConcurrentSet,
HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList,
PriorityQueue, Promise, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap
classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces.
In addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease
the implementation of new collections.

Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views,
efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable
iterators depending on the collection type.

Libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C
library. It's planned to provide bindings for further languages.
