Overview of changes in Glib 1.230 =================================
* Don't copy boxed objects when passing from Perl to C. This mainly affects Perl subclasses which have signal handlers that involve boxed objects and use signal_chain_from_overridden() to call parent signal handlers. With this change, the parent's handlers will now operator on the same object that the Perl code sees, and changes consequently propagate properly. * Correctly handle variables with "set" magic attached in the default SET_PROPERTY implementation for custom Perl subclasses. * Add Glib::Param::GType support. * Make Glib::Flags::bool() and as_arrayref() callable as methods. * Allow undef for default_value in Glib::ParamSpec->string. * Improve the documentation in a few places. * Add gperl_hv_take_sv, a wrapper for hv_store, to our C API. * Fix some build and test failures. The source code is available from the gtk2-perl project page on sourceforge: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-1.230.tar.gz This release works with all stable releases of glib-2.x. In order to build Glib from source, you must have glib-2.x and its development headers and utilities installed, as well as the pkg-config utility. In addition, the following Perl modules are needed at build time (but not at runtime): ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.300 ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.000 Glib provides Perl access to the GLib and GObject libraries. GLib is a portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic type system with inheritance and a powerful signal system. Together these libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries that make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated projects. _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
