After a lengthy pause since the last version, an update to the
Rapid Ada Portable Interface Designer has been released and 
is available at http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=rapid

Here are the news for RAPID 3.2:

* Tested with Tcl/Tk version 8.{4,5,6a} and TASH version 8.6-0

* Tested with gtk+-2.{10,12,14} and GtkAda from svn trunk of Jan 2009

* GUI file format maintains backward compatibility with RAPID 3.01

* New command line switch -ni supports non-interactive Ada code
  generation for a given .gui file without launching the RAPID GUI

* New widget: FRAME, for creating an empty space with a border

* New widget: TEXTBOX, similar to TEXTENTRY but for read-only text,
  supports optional user variable of type
  Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String

* TEXTENTRY now also supports unsigned user types

* CHECKBUTTON optional user variable can now be any two-valued enum
  type in addition to Boolean

* The procedures Fill_Window,Generate_and_Fill_Window,Read_Window are
  not created if they are null operations. In other words, they are
  only created if there are user variables to read or write.

* The JGNAT, .NET, and GWindows peers are not included as they
  are not currently maintained.

* This release is only tested on Linux and it does not contain
  a Windows exe.
