news from the svn

well, the week is at its end

the last week end and the last few days have seen a set of commits. these included a new gino, featuring the cut/copy and paste

the study of this new feature allowed me to discover gtk.builder, gtk.uimanager, gtk.accelgroup and the management of signals in gtk.

I’m very proud to say that I can now subclass a gobject to add to it new properties and signals, and accessorily also accelerators

on the bad side, this also means that I will soon be obliged to rewrite some parts of Gino, which isn’t completely gtk.builder-compatible.

In the last few weeks I also started to read “Programming C# 3.0″, from O’Reilly. I find the portability of softwares really interesting, so approaching the .NET framework (as well as the Mono one) will be my next step.

Once a time (not a so long time ago) I wasn’t one of the fanatics of Gnome, and today I’m still greatly critic about the softwares which compose the Gnome desktop environment. But I admire Miguel de Icaza and some other Ximians, for the efforts they’re making to improve the Linux system.

So, with many attentions, I’m saying today that.. software develops in a way much more faster than rivalities. To have an open-minded approach can be helpful.

Thinking about what pushed me to restart coding make sme smile. Just today I have downloaded again IronPython.

Have a good trip in the net.
