Hi! It took quite a lot of silence since the last release in July last year (mainly because of me being rather busy and also because nobody complained too much) but finally there's a new release of libchamplain. Despite being a minor-version-number release, actually quite a lot of code was changed. This was mainly because libchamplain has been updated to use the "modern" Clutter API and get rid of all the depreciation warnings. So libchamplain depends on Clutter 1.12 now. The main commit was something like -2500/+500 lines of code so quite a nice cleanup. Speaking of cleanups, while migrating to the new Clutter, I realized that I just keep getting lost in how ChamplainView handles coordinates and decided to make some further cleanups which hopefully resulted in much simpler and easier-to-read code in ChamplainView. As a part of the spring cleaning, I have also removed the libchamplain git repository from Gitorious. It seems nobody is really using it, I keep forgetting to push the changes there and when someone submits a patch there, I'm not notified about the change. It's always possible to re-create the repository there when needed in the future. Taking into account the amount of changed lines in this release, there might be some bugs. But since nobody complained since the announcement last week, I can expect that either there are no big bugs or that nobody is using libchamplain any more...(Continue reading)
