1. New and better examples would be welcome. If
you have small programs that could fit as examples in libsigc++,
please include them in a pull request or an issue in GitHub. To
have them compiled and distributed, they must be listed in
examples/Makefile.am. If you have problems with that detail, I
can fix that. 2. I'd prefer not to put everything in header files. This is perhaps mostly a personal opinion. I prefer to have as much code as possible out of reach of users who only access header files. Not because it's secret (it's not), but because it feels safer to make changes in .cc files without risking to break ABI or API. Unfortunately only a small part of libsigc++'s code can be put in .cc files, since most of it consists of templates. Kjell Ahlstedt Den 2019-08-29 kl.

There are two suggestions that I have before a release is made: 1. Add in more examples, the two that are there are very simple and not very helpful(I can help adding some examples, but I don't have great knowledge of how everything works together). 2. I noticed that there are only 4 c++ files that are actually compiled into the library; would it make sense to put those in the headers so that libsigc++ would become a header-only library? -Robert Middleton On Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 1:08 PM Kjell Ahlstedt <kjellahlstedt gmail com> wrote:The plan has been to keep libsigc++-3.0 and API/ABI-breaking versions of some other modules (e.g. glibmm) very unstable until gtk4 and gtkmm4 become stable. I don't know when that will be. But I wonder if that's really necessary or desirable for libsigc++-3.0. As far as I know, no more API/ABI-breaking changes are planned. Murray, what do you say? Should we release the first stable version of libsigc++-3.0 soon, without waiting for gtk4 to become stable? /Kjell Den 2019-08-28 kl. 00:51, skrev Robert Middleton:Hi all, I'm working on a library that uses libsigc++ and I've upgraded it to the newest libsigc++ API(it compiles at least, I don't know if it works). Before I do any release of my library, I would like to make sure that libsigc++ is at a stable version and at least somewhat available in distribution repos(e.g. Debian/Ubuntu). Is there any sort of timeframe for when this may be released? I still have a few months of work to do on my side, so it's not important that libsigc++ be released soon, I'm just trying to plan out a rough timeframe. -Robert Middleton |
