[Mono-list] wx.NET version 0.5

[Michael S. Muegel]

A new version of wx.NET was recently released. wx.NET provides .NET bindings
for wxWidgets, a powerful cross-platform GUI toolkit. wx.NET/wx.Widgets uses
the native UI framework on each supported platform: Windows, Linux, and Mac
OS X.

The new 0.5 version has many improvements over previous releases. A quick
summary of changes:

   + Dozens of new classes.
   + Full support for Mac OS X.
   + New event system: Activated, Closing, MouseEnter, etc. events.
   + Easier to use binary downloads for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
   + An new build system to make compiling easier along with a user
 manual to step you through the process.
   + 6 new samples and an easy to use sample launcher.
   + A new tool to generate C# or VB.NET code from XRC or wxGlade 
 WXG UI layout files. Supports editing of the resulting code and 
 modifications to the UI similar to the VS.NET System.Windows.Forms
 designer.
   + CLS compliant (no more uints).
   + Numerous bug fixes.

Key contributors to this release:

   Alexander Olk 
   Bryan Bulten
   Mike Muegel

Wx.NET is completely open source and free. More information is available at:

We have recently started a fundraising campaign to support the work of
Alexander Olk on the project. Please see the following for details:

Even a little bit will help accelerate development. I've jump started the
fund by donating US$150.

Best Regards,
-Mike Muegel on behalf of the wx.NET Development Team

P.S. I briefly mentioned the new version in a posting a 
 while back but wanted to follow-up with some more detail.

RE: [Mono-list] Cross-platform GUI.

[Michael S. Muegel]

  I did a google search and found wx.NET.  I'll try it.  Thanks!
 
 My understanding of wx.NET is that its kinda unstable, but I 
 have never looked into it at all.

wx.NET v0.5 was recently released and is very stable. It is very easy to
download the Mac binary installer and try out the samples. An X server is
*not* required and the license is open source.

There are also binary downloads for Linux and Windows for easy tire kicking
on these platforms as well.

[Mono-list] Mac OS X 10.2 compatible build needed

[Michael S. Muegel]

I searched the archives and saw a few requests for an OSX 10.2 binary
support but did not see any replies from the build/download maintainers. One
solution *might* be to use weak linking as described at
http://tinyurl.com/46v6h and http://tinyurl.com/6ghk5 to create a package
that works on 10.2 and 10.3. I think setting the environment variable
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.2 is all that is needed before doing
configure/build.

I only have 10.3 but and can't really test myself. 10.2 is on order ...

Thanks,
-Mike
