GtkAda 0.6 release (Beta code)
------------------------------
GtkAda is an Ada95 binding of Gtk+ version 1.2.0. It allows you to
develop graphical applications in Ada95 using Gtk+.
Currently, all widgets of the Gtk+ 1.2 series have been bound. The
binding for the Gdk part is not complete yet, but is already pretty
much in place.
To test our binding, the testgtk program have been almost completely
re-implemented and is also distributed with the binding.
LSM entry follows : Begin3 Title: GtkAda Version: 0.6 Entered-date:
1MAR99 Description: Ada95 binding to Gtk+ (version 1.2.0) Keywords: Ada95
Ada Gtk+ Gtk X Gui Glade Author: Emmanuel Briot <briot@gnat.com>, Joel
Brobecker <jbrobecker@west.raytheon.com> and Arnaud Charlet
<charlet@gnat.com> Maintained-by: <briot@gnat.com>,
<jbrobecker@west.raytheon.com> and <charlet@gnat.com> Primary-site:
http://ada.eu.org/gtkada/ Original-site: http://ada.eu.org/gtkada/
Platforms: SunOS-5.5.1 Linux-2.0.35 Linux-2.0.36 DECUnix-4.0b
Copying-policy: GPL (with a slight modification, see headers of *.ad[bs]
files End
New features from 0.5 include:
- Upgrade to GTK+ 1.2.0
- Glib.XML provides a generic XML parser written in Ada
- GATE (Glade Ada Translator and Evaluator) parses the XML project files
generated by glade (a GTK+ GUI builder) and generates the corresponding
compilable Ada code. It is also able to incorporate user's changes done
between two code generations.
- DGATE (Dynamic GATE) is able to load any XML project file, create the
corresponding widgets and connect all the specified signals. It is a very
useful tool during development that allows you to test your GUI without having
to recompile anything.
- GtkAda now gives you the possiblity to extend widgets using standard Ada 95
OO constructs. This avoid the use of User_Data, and of course also provides a
stronger typing mechanism than User_Data provides.
- GtkAda now provides a configure script to ease the build and installation of
this binding.
- Some effort has been made to make this binding available on 64 bits
machines, GtkAda has actually been tested on Dec Unix.

Could you comment on why this was done? I'm not a GLADE user yet, so that may
be the source of my confusion. But I don't see what a GUI toolkit has to do
with distributed programming. I checked your website, but it didn't enlighten
me.

Open Source projects seems to run out of namespace:-)
GLADE is at least
- the codename of GNAT LRM Annex E implementation
- the codename of a GUI Builder for the gtk+ library

The GLADE referenced here is not the GNAT GLADE its the GTK GLADE
used for visual GUI development.

Yikes! We just went over that, didn't we?
All the talk about XDL on the web page should have tipped me off, but for some
reason I was confusing *that* with XDR. (sigh)

Assuming things go to plan, I should have RPMs available of this on
Thursday. I just have to hope that the universitys routers have stopped
sulking. ;)
