This release includes a Telepathy backend complete enough to power Empathy and a key file backend to allow contact linking. We would like to include additional backends (especially evolution-data-server), so let us know if we can help! libfolks is not yet API or ABI stable, so please proceed with caution. See the NEWS file for details on every break we make. In future releases, we will have example programs that will be kept up-to-date with the latest API as well. For more information, see the Folks wiki page: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Folks What's new? === (Note: this release was previously made as 0.3.5, but that went bad, so we tidied it up and relabelled it as 0.3.6.) Major changes: * Various API breaks and improvements, especially in the IndividualAggregator * Add various new interfaces: NameOwner, FieldDetails, Urlable, GenderOwner, Phoneable and Emailable API changes: * Add NameOwner interface * Add FieldDetails interface * Add Urlable interface * Add GenderOwner interface * Add Phoneable interface * Add Emailable interface * Add Tpf.Persona.is_in_contact_list * Rename the URLable interface to Urlable * Take a PersonaStore in IndividualAggregator.add_persona_from_details * Remove IndividualAggregatorError.STORE_NOT_FOUND * Rename the getter for BackendStore.enabled_backends from folks_backend_store_get_enabled_backends() to folks_backend_store_dup_enabled_backends() * Rename BackendStore.get_backend_by_name() to .dup_backend_by_name() Bugs fixed: * Bug 640901 — Allow it to be determined whether a user Tpf.Persona is in the contact list * Bug 641780 — Incorrect C function names for URLable interface * Bug 629078 — Folks needs a full API review to take advantage of our compatibility break in 0.2.x * Bug 642036 — No way to pass a message when adding a contact Dependencies libfolks and depend upon core GNOME libraries (GLib, GIO, etc.), as well as the recent releases of Vala and gobject-introspection. The Telepathy backend also requires a recent release of telepathy-glib, built to include its Vala bindings.

[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.11.6 - Compiler for the GObject type system
We are pleased to announce version 0.11.6 of Vala, a compiler for the GObject type system. Vala 0.11.6 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.11/ This is a development release leading toward 0.12. Changes since 0.11.5 * Add parse and try_parse methods to boolean and numeric types. * Add clutter-gtk-1.0 bindings. * Add pixmap-1 bindings (Evan Nemerson). * Many bug fixes and binding updates. Vala is a new 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. The syntax of Vala is similar to C#, modified to better fit the GObject type system. Vala supports modern language features as the following: * Interfaces * Properties * Signals * Foreach * Lambda expressions * Type inference for local variables * Generics * Non-null types * Assisted memory management * Exception handling Vala is designed to allow access to existing C libraries, especially GObject-based libraries, without the need for runtime bindings. All that is needed to use a library with Vala is an API file, containing the class and method declarations in Vala syntax. Vala currently comes with bindings for GLib and GTK+. It's planned to provide generated bindings for the full GNOME Platform at a later stage. Using classes and methods written in Vala from an application written in C is not difficult. The Vala library only has to install the generated header files and C applications may then access the GObject-based API of the Vala library as usual. It should also be easily possible to write a bindings generator for access to Vala libraries from applications written in e.g. C# as the Vala parser is written as a library, so that all compile-time information is available when generating a binding.

ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.99.4
*** gtkmm 2.99: gtkmm 2.99 (previously 2.90 and 2.91) wraps GTK+ 2.99. It is the gtkmm-3.0 ABI and installs in parallel with the gtkmm-2.4 ABI, of which gtkmm 2.20 is currently the latest stable version. This allows application developers to start using it when they choose to, without being forced, and without breaking existing installed applications. gtkmm-3.0 will be mostly API-compatible with gtkmm-2.4, though some changes will be needed in application source code. gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/ Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also API-stable. http://www.gtkmm.org *** Changes 2.99.4 (unstable): Gtk: * Added AppChooser, AppChooserButton, AppChooserDialog and AppChooserWidget. * Button: Restore the clicked() method. Thanks to Aurimas Černius. * CellArea: Added constructor that takes a CellArea. (Murray Cumming) * Entry: Added unset_icon(). (Murray Cumming) Bug #621742 (feuloren) Documentation: * ComboBoxText: Add warning about not confusing these. Bug #619656 (JimO, Kjell Ahlstedt) *** Development There is active discussion on the mailing list: http://www.gtkmm.org/mailinglist.shtml and in the #c++ channel on irc.gnome.org -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
