======================================== NEWS: Glib-1.150 ======================================== Overview of changes in Glib 1.150 ================================= * Make it possible to mark objects and methods as deprecated with Glib::ParseXSDoc and Glib::GenPod. [Emmanuele] ======================================== NEWS: glib-java-0.4.2 ======================================== @deprecated glib-java 0.4.2 is part of the java-gnome 2.x family of libraries which had few users and no mature applications built using them. As result, java-gnome 2.x never made it to production quality and remains both buggy and incomplete. A major re-engineering effort, termed java-gnome 4.0, is underway to produce an entirely new set of Java bindings. The 2.x family as a whole has therefore been declared deprecated pending imminent removal. Those interested in using GTK and GNOME from Java are invited to join the java-gnome hackers in their effort to bring the new 4.0 bindings up to speed. Note to developers: As has been advertised for several release cycles now, achieving an algorithmic mapping of the underlying GNOME libraries required a significant ABI break from 2.x to 4.0. You are advised not to use the old libraries for new projects. Note to downstream packagers: There may or may not be a glib-java as a individually released library in 4.0. If there is, it may be called glib-java, java-glib, but most likely will just be a .jar and .so build product from a single module source release.

(Daniel Elstner) - enum.pl: Fix an infinite loop. * Glib::Value: When registering float parameters, use G_MAXFLOAT as the minimum, instead of G_MINFLOAT. Likewise for doubles.
