ANN: Gtk2Hs 0.9.13 released

[Peter Gavin]

Hello everyone,

Gtk2Hs version 0.9.13 is now available. [1]

New features:

     * bindings for Gnome VFS and GStreamer
     * a new Gtk+ tutorial has been adapted by Hans van Thiel
     * cairo image stride support
     * many new demos
     * compiles with GHC 6.8.3
     * lots of bug fixes

This release has been tested on a variety of platforms with different
versions of Gtk+ and GHC, so you should have no trouble compiling it if
you're using an older version of Gtk+.

Note that the binaries for Win32 for this release are only provided for
GHC 6.8.3 and Gtk+ 2.12.  As with older releases, all the C libraries
needed are included in the installer, so you don't need to download
anything else to get up an running.  I've also created zip files
containing only the C libraries that can be used for redistribution.
The sources for these binaries are available at [2]

Is this bindings for the new GIO/GVFS stuff?

Is Gtk2Hs cabal-ised?

No, its for the old GnomeVFS binding.  I may get around to the binding
the new one, unless someone else wants to do it :)

Not yet, but it's planned.  The things we need from cabal to do it
aren't finished yet, and every .chs file needs to be rewritten to work
with the real c2hs, rather than our hacked up version :)

Hi Peter,

The first problem looks like a problem in cairo.  I'm pretty sure the
functions named are cairo internal API, you may want to report a bug to
their list.  I suppose it's possible those functions always print the
error message (even on success), but behave correctly otherwise.

It looks like the second problem is a GHC bug, since there isn't
anything special about our library (that I can think of) that might
cause that to happen.
