Cool! >1. Is this documented somewhere? How long has this cool feature existed >without my knowing about it? :) > >2. Is there a long-term plan to deprecate .vapi files in favor of type >libraries? Can type libraries express everything that .vapi files can? I guess it will never happen. You can't loose possibility of creating bindings to non-gobject libraries, it's far more cool than the whole gobject type system. best regards, AW. >adam > >_______________________________________________ >vala-list mailing list >vala-list@gnome.org >http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list -- Mój klucz publiczny o identyfikatorze 1024D/E12C5A4C znajduje się na serwerze hkp://keys.gnupg.net My public key with signature 1024D/E12C5A4C is on the server hkp://keys.gnupg.net
