[gtkextra] New release of SG

[Adrian F. <fe...@ma...>]

I just synced in CVS the stable code with the devel code Conrad is working
on. 
We still have to fix a couple of things with Conrad, but meanwhile, I have
a stable version ready that I'm going to release tomorrow after a few
tests.
The new release will have all Conrad additions for using Python in the
worksheets plus the importing/exporting features.
Conrad is working on a more powerful python interface using Numerical
Python, and the gnomization. As you have seen in a previous mail, we still
have to determine how the gnomization is going to be implemented, but it
won't be a serious problem, specially considering Conrad experience.
After this new release I'm going to work on gtkplotcanvas to add
rectangles, ellipses and arrows to the plots, in order to implement these
features in scigraphica. After that, Gtkextra is planning to freeze for a 
while in the 1.0.x stable series. 
Then, all the effort in SG will be dedicated to implement the math,
functions, and fitting features.

The devel branch of GtkExtra (1.1) will have the following goals:
1) Separate GtkPlotdata from GtkPlot as a new widget. This will allow to
create gtkplot and gtkplotdata subclasses for polar, pie, and bar charts.
2) gtkplotpolar, gtkplotpie, gtkplotdatabar widgets.
3) if we find volunteers, a gtkplot3d widget.
4) Applix people is requesting adding zoom to gtksheet. We'll take a look
at this possibility.
