MrProject 0.5.90, the "Vi tänker inte bidra till den svenska konspirationen!" release

MrProject 0.5.90 "Vi tänker inte bidra till den svenska konspirationen!"
========================================================================

Yay! MrProject is now based on the GNOME 2 platform. This is the first
pre-release for GNOME 2.0 and we took the liberty of rewriting the
entire code base. The result, a faster, slicker, meaner and better
MrProject.

We'd like to thank Alvaro del Castillo for all the time he has
provided. He is really getting into the MrProject developement and is
doing a great job, glad to have you on the team!

This is NOT a stable release of MrProject, and those of you that are
using MrProject should not switch over to this version yet.

What is MrProject anyway? 
-------------------------

MrProject is a project management application under development, that
will help build project plans and track the progress of a project.

The development of MrProject is led by CodeFactory as a free software
project, and all code is licensed under the GNU General Public
License.

More information is available at our pretty out-of-date homepage:
http://mrproject.codefactory.se/

Sounds interesting, where do you keep them?

ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 1.3.9

*** gtkmm 1.3.9

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This unstable branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 1.2.x.

*** Changes since gtkmm 1.3.8

* Custom Signal Proxies simplified, implementing only custom C callback
  functions and specifying them to the signal proxy constructors.
  (Daniel Elstner)
* Complete recoding of Boxed Types wrappers, not using generic _copy
  and _free methods functions when they aren't necessary, and sometimes
  inheriting directly from the underlying struct. (Daniel Elstner)
* gtk-demo compilation fixed. (Daniel Elstner)
* gtk-demo stock browser part rewritten and working. (Matthew Walton)
* Properly implemented enum and flags property proxies. (Daniel Elstner).
* Reference documentation:
  - some gtk+ docs are now merged in automatically, but we don't yet
    have acccess to the stuff in gtk+'s tmpl/*.sgml files.
    (Murray Cumming)
  - Added class documentation, based on docs in GTK+.
  - Custom headers and footers.  (Paolo Pinto)
* Added Gtk::TreeSortable, Gtk::TreeDragDest, and Gtk::TreeDragSource
  interface wrappers.  (Murray Cumming)
* Gdk::Pixbuf: render* method args are now const-correct, which allows
  casting of temporary instances. (Murray Cumming)
* Gtk::MessageDialog: changed argument order in constructors, to
  allow sensible defaults. (Murray Cumming)
