[Vala] [ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.23.2 - Compiler for the GObject type system

[Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>]

We are pleased to announce version 0.23.2 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.23.2 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.23/

Changes since 0.23.1
 * Bind GDK event structures as compact classes.
 * Switch gdk-x11-3.0 bindings to .gir.
 * Switch librsvg-2.0 bindings to .gir.
 * Bug fixes and binding updates.

Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code.
