ANN: Gtk+HS 0.14.10

[Manuel M T Chakravarty]

I am pleased to announce version 0.14.10 of Gtk+HS, the
Haskell binding for the GUI toolkit GTK+.  This release
features a range of new widgets over the previous release
and supports the use of the library as a GHC package.

Gtk+HS includes code contributions from many people.  See
<http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtk%2bhs/AUTHORS> for
details.

The underlying toolkit, GTK+, implements a mature, high-end
widget set, which forms the basis of the Gnome desktop
environment, and is used in cutting-edge open source
applications, such as the Gimp, Gnumeric, and Abiword.
Gnome (and, thus, GTK+) is not only one of the two main
desktop environments for Linux, but has also been selected
by Sun as the new standard desktop for Solaris.  Moreover,
there is a port of GTK+ available for Win32.

The present distribution includes an example application
(The Boolean Editor) that demonstrates how GTK+ can be used
from Haskell.  It illustrates concepts, such as callbacks,
the handling of global GUI state, and synchronisation
between the different windows of an application.  The code
is available directly from the Web page without need to
download the complete release.

More information (including screenshots!) as well as source
and binary packages are available from

Happy Hacking!
