[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] Next release

[Masao M. <mu...@hi...>]

Hi,

I'm going to release Ruby-GNOME2-0.2 this weekend.

Please check latest CVS version and tell me if you
have any troubles.

BTW,
I intend to include Ruby/GdkPixbuf to the ruby-gtk package
which is minimum package of Ruby-GNOME2.
Because Ruby/GTK depends on Ruby/GdkPixbuf.

Any comments?

Cheers,
Masao.

Cool.

I have a couple of fixes attached:

Pango - a couple of the returned arrays in Pango::Layout used the wrong
macros (ie. NUM2INT instead of INT2NUM)

Added a definition of Pango::SCALE - the currently used conversion
between pixels and Pango units. (I wasn't sure what the best place was,
so I just stuck it in rbpangomain.c)

In Gdk::GC#set_clip_rectangle the wrong type was passed to RVAL2BOXED

Finally, just a suggestion (I've come across a few cases where Gtk
returns a NULL string which Ruby doesn't like) - a check for NULL
strings in the CSTR2RVAL macro so that a NULL string translates to nil
rather than raising an ArgumentError.

HTH,


Geoff.

Thanks for your patches. The place of Pango::SCALE is no problem.
They are now in CVS. Please confirm it again.

Good idea.
But please wait a moment. I confirm it to Sakai-san(Ruby/GLib maintainer).

Many thanks,

Hi,

OK, I'll release Ruby-GNOME2-0.10.0 at the first 
weekend of August(7 or 8, August).

I thought I release 1.0.0 on this time, but
it's still unstable and many APIs haven't been implemented.
So I decided to keep unstable release until I satisfy myself.


Maintainers, try to update your libraries 
for newest version of C libraries, please.

Laurent,
Could you merge Ruby/GtkSourceView to the ruby-gnome2
CVS's source tree ?

And everyone, any comments?

I agree with you -- 0.10.0 seems like the most appropriate choice.

Looking forward to the new release -- it will fix many bugs!

Just a small question, are you still OK with the idea of officially
joining GNOME? (I mean, CVS merging, using bugzilla, entering the
platform bindings, etc...) If yes, when do you plan to start it? (for
1.0.0 I guess?)

I can't decide we should join official GNOME now,
But after 1.0.0 released, I intend to discuss it here, again.

I think the plan is for the bindings to follow the same release cycle as
GNOME, so I think it is too late for us to propose Ruby-GNOME2 to be
included for 2.8 -- the module decision date was on Monday.

See http://www.gnome.org/start/2.7/bindings/.

I think we should be ready for inclusion in the 2.9 release cycle.

Here's a brief summary of the things I've come across:

02-gdkpixbuf_rbgdk-pixbuf.c.diff
	- Gdk::Pixbuf.get_file_info()
	  Return image width and height as well as the GdkPixbufFormat
	
05-gtk_src_rbgdkatom.c.diff
	- Gdk::Atom.intern()
	  Allow an int to be converted directly to Gdk::Atom

It might seem a bit low level to allow this - it potentially allows
the programmer to create invalid atoms, but I've come across situations
where I needed it... but I can't remember what for :(

	- Gdk::Atom#nil? - New function
	  Test whether the numerical value of an atom is zero
	  (ie. nil/meaningless atom)

07-gtk_src_rbgdkrgb.c.diff
	- Gdk::RGB#find_color
	  Fix passing of colormap to gdk_rgb_find_color()

10-gtk_src_rbgtkallocation.c.diff
	- Gtk::Allocation
	  Make object non-copyable (ie. modifiable)
	  * I'm not sure whether this is needed - in
	    theory it might be useful.
	
11-gtk_src_rbgtkdrag.c.diff
	- Gtk::Drag.dest_set()
	  Allow nil as well as empty target list
	  (ie. accept any rather than accept none)
	
13-gtk_src_rbgtkselectiondata.c.diff
	- rbgtk_atom2selectiondata()
	  Calculate length properly (take format size into account)

14-gtk_src_rbgtktoolbutton.c.diff
	- Gtk::ToolButton.new
	  Use Symbols instead of Strings for stock-id (as elsewhere)

24-pango_src_rbpangoitem.c.diff
	- Pango::Item#split
	  Fix method registration (2 parameters, not 0)

AFAICT, yes. I think it's clearer and more ruby-ish to have a
test function - better than relying on testing against a 'magic' value.

I've held back on this patch for the time being - thinking about it
#nil? is probably the wrong name... any thoughts on the following?

 #zero?
 #none?
 #empty?
 #invalid? (or, #valid?)

Or we could automatically translate (atom == 0) to nil?

What do people think?

Hmm.
I think it doesn't mean to be equivalent "nil" of ruby world.
I prefer #none? because it makes me imagine Gdk::Atom::NONE.

That's great. 

I was out in a vacation but now I'm back to finish what I started. :-)

Masao, is it compilable on Windows? If yes, what compiler can I use to
compile it on Windows? I'm trying to install one as explained at
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?WindowsCompiler

I know about MinGW, but I wonder what compiler is the most compatible
on Windows. :-)

It works on MinGW, but you also need MinGW version of ruby. 

If you want to work Ruby-GNOME2 with One Click Installer,
you need to compile Ruby-GNOME2 with MSVC++.

Now, I forget how to compile Ruby-GNOME2 with MSVC++....
But actually it works.

The howto is such as:

(on DOS Prompt)
> cd ruby-gnome2
> ruby extconf.rb
> nmake
> nmake install

And also I set some environment variables ... I forgot them, though.

I was able to compile it and I'm currently using the latest version
from CVS. I got some problems with the GTK+2.6 version when compiling,
so I downgraded to GTK+2.4 and it went ok. I remember that I got
problems in the glib and gdkpixbuf compilations (GTK+2.6), but the
others went ok. I will try to take a look at it but I don't know what
the problems are exactly. Something about unresolved symbols, that's
for sure. :-)

I've put together what I needed in order to compile it, but it's not a
finished guide to join the other official guides:

Good news. After trying to recompile it I didn't get any errors. I've
recompiled it twice just to make sure (in the second one I deleted the
previous used ruby-gnome2 and worked on a newly created copy).

So now I have compiled and installed Ruby-GNOME2 with GTK+2.6 and
GTK+2.4  on WindowsXPSP2 using the freely available VC++ compiler.
I have some write-ups on what I needed to do at:
http://www.geocities.com/joaopedrosa//CompileRubyGnome2Windows.html
But it could be better written.

It's never too much to thank Masao for his great talent in putting
together these nice bindings that deserve more attention of the people
that need GUI apps or need to use GTK+. :-)

Thanks Masao.

Great.

Great. 
Please create a new page on our Ruby-GNOME2 Hiki.

BTW, I remember when I found about gwin32.h and pid_t problem in your report,
I've reported the problem, and it has removed on GTK+ CVS source tree.
# And I noticed GTK+-2.6.2 is now available and it doesn't have that typedef.

You're welcome ;).

[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] Next release

[Masao M. <mu...@hi...>]

Hi,

I'll release ruby-gnome2-0.14.0 on next weekend (15th or 16th Octobar).

Try CVS version and report bugs, please.

And are there any suggestions?

It would be great to create ruby gems as you did for ruby-gettext. I can do 
it if you want. 

Is it better to create one gem for everything or one gem per module ? I tend 
to prefer the first solution. 

I suggest :
 - one gem "ruby-gnome2" (with everything, compilation at the installation 
time)
 - one gem "ruby-gtk2" for win32 (gtk2 and glade2, dlls provided) 

I think a rubyforge account is needed to host the gem files and maybe the 
gemspec / Rakefile in the CVS. 

I need a simple solution to install a ruby-gtk2 program on win32, I think it 
would solve my problem. 

Mathieu.
