Announcing PHP-GTK-EDGE

Hi all, If you're one of the impatient; and can't wait to try out the bleeding-edge widgets that are now available for PHP-GTK; the PHP-GTK-EDGE repository is for you. You can check out a copy from: svn://svn.cweiske.de/php-gtk-edge (WebSVN: http://svn.cweiske.de/listing.php?repname=php-gtk-edge&path=%2Ftrunk%2F) This version of PHP-GTK includes: * Gtk+ 2.8 and 2.10 support (thanks to Elizabeth); which means you can build against these versions of Gtk+ and use widgets like GtkAssistant and the much wanted GtkTrayIcon. * GtkSpell: spell checking extension for GtkTextView (and GtkSourceView) * GtkExtras: Specialized widgets like GtkSheet and GtkPlot. in addition to everything that's already in php-gtk-proper (mozembed, sourceview and scintilla; of course) I wanted to include libgnome in the repository too; but unfortunately I can't find a backup of my files yet and the tarball on kix.in doesn't seem to work. This version of PHP-GTK should probably be helpful to all of you who've been asking for GtkExtras and GtkTrayIcon. All feedback is appreciated; and the more positive feedback we get; the sooner all of this will be migrated to the official php-gtk release. All of the code in the repository currently works only on *nix systems and a simple `./buildconf && ./configure && make install' should do. All extensions are enabled by default; so it will simply pick what you libraries you have your system and build support for it. If you need to explicitly disable an extension; pass the --disable-whatever flag to the configure statement. For windows users; Elizabeth is providing builds on http://www.callicore.net/php-gtk2/ I'll work with her to get those builds into php-gtk-edge soon. DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if your computer explodes while compiling php-gtk-edge ;) Basically, this version of php-gtk is very experimental and is expected to be broken from time to time. Use with care! There are some screenshots for a few of the widgets at http://www.kix.in/php-gtk2/ Cheers, -- Anant
