Re: Beta Release?

I think it's time we had a beta release. We're at 94.01% overall coverage (including the Scintilla and SourceView extensions) [1]; and have a significant number of new features/extensions since the alpha release; most importantly custom Tree models.

Before we make another release, I think we should make sure there aren't any extant bugs. For example, there's still the cloning crash that Pablo described. I replied saying that we may not be able to support cloning due to complicated structure of internal Gtk+ objects, but I haven't heard anything back. Are there other bugs we are aware of?

However, before we go about it, we'll have to decide on whether to include the following: 1) 2.8/2.10 Support. Elizabeth has provided patches for this, and the build system will automatically build the latest version found on the system. I've extended this to work on Linux and OSX.

I'm fine with this as long as we make it clear in our builds which version they support. We should also encourage developers to explicitly check for the Gtk+ version in their applications.

2) The GtkHTML3 and libsexy extensions.

Sure, these can be included (just the bindings, right?).

4) Move to native Scintilla (Tom's Scintilla) instead of GtkScintilla. This one's on me and I'll get around to it soon enough.

I would appreciate it. It seems that our TODO2 list is somewhat out of date. Could people please look at the Classes and Functions section and remove the items that have been implemented? -Andrei
