[Glgui-dev] glgui: release 9a

[Scott F. <sf...@gl...>]

Release 9a is up on sourceforge.  This release includes my changes for addi=
ng variable width fonts and better support for keyboard handling in edita=
ble text boxes (and through the glut sample).  The glut sample should bui=
ld and run under win32 and linux.

I wanted to do this release now (as a minor version) because I'm planning t=
o start some fairly large changes to the code base.  Mainly, I'm going to=
 do some general cleanup of the code, putting in better commenting and fo=
rmatting it more cleanly.  This will also let me get reaquainted with a l=
ot of the details I may have forgotten in the time I have spent away from=
 the project.  Hopefully, this will also give me the opportunity during t=
his time to improve the any specific functionality that seems to need it.=
  Some of the interaction between controls and widgets is an example wher=
e I think some improvement can be made.

The other major change I have planned is to improve the callback handling. =
 My current plan is to have support for setting a callback for each type =
of mouse/keyboard event a frame can trigger (click, hover, keypress, etc)=
.

I will do my best to make only minimal (if any) changes to the actual inter=
face, but I think at this point in the project it's more important to fix=
 any serious flaws in the design rather than maintain a 100% backwards-co=
mpatable interface.  If anyone feels otherwise, especially those of you w=
ith projects that use it, let me know.

It will probably be a at least a few weeks before I get started on this due=
 to other projects requiring my time.  So please send in comments and sug=
gestions.  Rainer sent a document a while back with some very good critiq=
ues and comments, and I will keep them all in mind during this process.  =
I put a copy of this document linked from http://glgui.sourceforge.net in=
 case anyone no longer has a copy.
