<H4><FONT SIZE=+1>What is it?</FONT></H4>
<P>GCK is meant as a general convenience kit for GIMP plug-in writers and
users of the GDK/GTK libraries. It's basically a collection of stuff for
UI construction, color- and image handling, vector operations, math funcs
etc. (see below). Please note that GCK is still a pre-alpha version; many
things doesn't work properly and the API is not completely stable yet.
When the API&nbsp;is stable ,GCK will enter beta. Check it out and give
me some feedback. </P>
<H4><B><FONT SIZE=+1>What's new in 0.06?</FONT></B></H4>
<UL>
<LI>Changed <TT>gck_entryfield_new()</TT>; it now takes a double as the
initial value, and not a pointer to a double. The function won't fiddle
with the <TT>user_data</TT> field of the observer, but leaves this to the
user.</LI>
<LI>Added <TT>gck_tooltipswidget</TT>. Handy a-la MS and Netscape widget
tips. Added a small example on its usage.</LI>
<LI>Changed the behaviour of <TT>gdk_rgb_to_gdkcolor()</TT> a bit. The
returned pointer to the <TT>GdkColor</TT> structure is now malloced, so
remember to free it when you're done with it.</LI>
<LI>Added two more gtk widgets; <TT>gck_menu</TT> and <TT>gck_menu_bar</TT>.
Again, see the examples.</LI>
<LI>Added <TT>gck_list_box</TT> widget - convenience routines for handling
lists. I've included a couple of examples to show it off.</LI>
