Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new unstable release of Guikachu is available.

About Guikachu
--------------
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

Features
--------
  * Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
    Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
  * Exporting to/importing from PilRC .rcp files
  * Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
  * Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
 	- String and string list resources
 	- Dialog resources
 	- Menu resources
 	- Form resources
 	- Bitmap resources
 	- Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
  * WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
  * Flexible, complete undo support
  * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
  * Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About this release
------------------
This release is part of the 1.5 development branch, so it's all about
crazy experimentations and not about providing a polished, well-tested
product -- so don't quite replace your 1.4 Guikachu just yet.

New in this release:
No new backend features, but several UI improvements. See the included NEWS
file for details.


Guikachu uses the GNOME 2 platform, particularly the GNOMEmm and GTKmm
C++ bindings. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also
need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files
produced by Guikachu.


Beware of bugémons!

         Cactus
