== Changes since version 0.16.0

  • Ruby/GLib:
    o Bound functions defined since 2.14 and 2.16.
    o Improved main loop polling. **
    o Improved callback handling from non Ruby thread. **

    This changes breaks API. Sjoerd, you need to call
    rbgutil_start_callback_dispatch_thread() in your
    GStreamer bindings. Sorry.

    o Supported convenience GEnum and GFlags notation. e.g.:

    GLib::UTF8.normalize(utf8, GLib::NormalizeMode::NFD)

    GLib::UTF8.normalize(utf8, :nfd)

    key_file.load_from_data(data,
    GLib::KeyFile::KEEP_COMMENTS |
    GLib::KeyFile::KEEP_TRANSLATIONS)

    key_file.load_from_data(data, [:keep_contents,
    :keep_translations])

    o Fixed locale dependent constant name
    computation. [#1901843] [Kouhei S.]

    o [#2060606] Crash when removing ruby applet from gnome
    panel with 0.7rc1 [Kouhei S.]

  • Ruby/Pango:
    o [#2043970] Pango::FontDescription#weight= seg fault [Kouhei S.]

  • Ruby/GTK:
    o partially support new symbols in 2.12
    (Gtk::RecentAction, Gtk::TextBuffer, Gdk::Display,
    Gtk::TreeViewColumn, Gtk::Stock, Gtk::Widget,
    Gtk::ScaleButton, Gtk::TreeView, Gtk::VolumneButton?,
    Gtk::Tooptip? and Gtk::TextMark only).

    o [#2025651] FTBFS with gtk+ 2.13.5 [Cesare Tirabassi,
    Kouhei S.]

    o [#2043970] Segfaults on 64-bit Linux [Neil R.,
    Kouhei S.]

  • Ruby/GStreamer: Worked with GStreamer >= 0.10.x but
    isn’t completed yet.

  • Ruby/Poppler
    o Supported poppler-glib 0.6.x and 0.8.0. [Kouhei S.]

  • Ruby-GNOME2 can be built with ruby 1.9.0 but doesn’t
    work well without [ruby-dev:34104] patch.

  • Some extconf.rb improvements

  • Many other changes, GC bugs, Segfault fixes. See
    corresponding ChangeLog for detailed information on
    changes and contributors.

constantly, and more. Please help us!

Seems to work fine so far with booh 0.9.1 against gtk 2.14.1 and ruby
1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72).
