What’s happening with projects I’m involved in

*mm fixes (the happy ending)

Glibmm has been fixed. Seems something was commented out for the fixes for the Sun Forte compiler in cxx.m4. I haven’t looked over the changes very carefully, but Murray says he had ”… ifdefed out the const specializations, thinking it was the SUN compiler.” It’s fixed now, and a new release [...]

*mm woes

Gtkmm is shaping up nicely, except for one thing: ever since we have been working on getting sigc++2, glibmm, and gtkmm to compile with Sun’s Forte compiler and gcc 3.4, we’ve run into problem after problem. First, it was the latest gnome-vfsmm release not compiling against the latest glibmm release (2.3.7); I downgraded [...]

API Freeze (finally)

After pushing back API freeze twice (or was it three times…), we finally have a frozen API. This is great and I feel a sense of accomplishment with this release. Murray has done a great job with this release and helped me through my mistakes with some of the new API, but I [...]
