[Libsigcx-main] SigC++ Extras: First public release - 0.5.0

[Andreas R. <a.r...@gm...>]

Hi!

I am proud to release the first public version of the "SigC++ Extras"
library (SigCX for short). It was formerly part of Yehia (ucxx.sf.net)
and is now split out, as it started to include features that formerly
were part of libSigC++.

From the features list:

    * A full threading API, including classes for threads, semaphores,
      mutual exclusions and thread-private data. The API can be
      compiled against either POSIX Threads (pthreads) or GLib threads
      without affecting binary compatibilty (ABI).

    * A dispatcher class that provides an abstraction of a event loop
      and a stand-alone as well as a GTK+ based implementation.

    * A fully SigC++ compatible way of invoking slots in other
      threads, including creating proxy slots that will invoke the
      original slot in another thread.

Furthermore, it "took over" the convert() function formerly in SigC++.

If you would like me to include more abandoned features of SigC++
(such as Chain & Closure), please drop me a mail - I am happy to help
out.

For more information, download & build instructions and documentation
please visit http://libsigcx.sourceforge.net.

Regards, Andy
