[adg-devel] ADG canvas 0.9.0 released

[Nicola F. <nt...@en...>]

ADG 0.9.0 is now available for download at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/adg/files/adg/0.9.0/

This is a new branch that breaks backward compatibility to
greatly improve the way quote text is generated.


Overview of changes
===================

Three new dresses have been added to address different quote
types: ADG_DRESS_DIMENSION_ANGULAR (that formats numbers in
sexagesimal units, bound by default to AdgADim instances),
ADG_DRESS_DIMENSION_RADIUS (that prefixes values with R, bound
to AdgRDim instances) and ADG_DRESS_DIMENSION_DIAMETER (that
prefixes the value with a diameter symbol).

The text generation algorithm has been greatly improved. The
AdgDimStyle object now has 3 specific properties dedicated to
the formatting of quotes: "number-format", "number-arguments"
and "decimals". This allows, among other things, to properly
render sexagesimal angles.

Some enum type has been converted to int on public APIs. enum
variables cannot precede ellipsis arguments: the last non
ellipsis argument will be promoted to int and if the enum is
not the same size (it could happen!) bad things will happen.

A backward compatibility bug (https://github.com/ntd/adg/issues/1)
that prevented out of the box building of the project on old
platforms has been fixed.

The testing provided by Travis-CI has been improved by building
for GTK+2 and GTK+3 by using both gcc and clang.

The Windows installer now includes Lua support. To be able to
have that enabled by default, gobject introspection has been
ported to Windows (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658126).
