Blurb:
======

Goocanvas [1] is a canvas widget for GTK+, It is similar in many ways
to  FooCanvas, hence the name, but it uses cairo for rendering, it has
an optional  model/view split, and uses interfaces for items & views
(so you can easily turn any application object into a canvas item or
view).

[ANNOUNCE] libgee 0.1.3 - GObject collection library

I'm pleased to announce version 0.1.3 of libgee, the GObject collection
library.

libgee 0.1.3 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgee/0.1/

Changes since 0.1.2
 * More unit tests.
 * Update for Vala 0.3.1.

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

libgee provides the following interfaces:

	* Iterable
	  * Collection
	    * List
	    * Set
	* Iterator
	* Map

The ArrayList, HashSet, and HashMap classes provide a reasonable sample
implementation of the List, Set, and Map interfaces. ReadOnlyCollection,
ReadOnlyList, ReadOnlySet, and ReadOnlyMap are read-only wrapper classes
that prevent modification of the underlying collection.

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

[ANNOUNCE] JSON-GLib 0.6.0

hi everyone;

JSON-GLib 0.6.0 is now available for download at:

this is the first stable release of the JSON-GLib library for the
0.6 cycle.

JSON-GLib is a library providing serialization and deserialization
support for the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format described by
RFC 4627. JSON is: 

  a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read
  and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based
  on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262
  3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely
  language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to
  programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java,
  JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON
  an ideal data-interchange language. -- From Introducing JSON 

Many high-level languages already provide native modules for parsing,
generating and manipulating JSON data streams. JSON-GLib is a C library
based on GLib and released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General
Public License version 2.1. It provides a parser and a generator GObject

Glade 3.4.5 released

Hi, little bugfix release for a popular bug I decided to wrap up this morning.

What is Glade ?
===============
Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick & easy development of user interfaces
for the Gtk+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
The user interfaces designed in Glade are stored in XML format,
enabling easy integration with external tools.
In particular libglade can load the XML files and create the interfaces
at runtime. The DTD for the XML files is included with libglade, and is
also at http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd.
Other tools are available which can turn the XML files into source code
in languages such as C++, Perl and Python.

=========
Glade 3.4.5
=========
    - Fixed annoying text property editing bug (527896)

Where can I get it ?
====================
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/glade3/3.4/

For more information consult our home page at http://glade.gnome.org/

Enjoy,
 - The Glade team
