Scw 0.3.0
I'm happy to announce a new release of Scw, the chat-oriented widget set!
(actually released last week, but..)
What's new?
=========
The release 0.3.0 includes the following changes:
* New features:
- support for embedded icons
- support for panning
- smart panning mode
* New API:
- "interaction" property
- "embedded-icon-size" property
* Win32 building (cygwin) support (Toni Willberg)
* Optimize performance (a lot in some cases)
What is it?
=======
Scw is a library that includes widgets designed for chat programs.
Currently this means (but will be extended with time):
* ScwView, a view that has:
- Activatable text (urls, user names, etc)
- Embedded icons
- Pango markup
- Wrapping
- GtkTreeModel implementations as data storage
- Different interaction modes (select, pan, smart pan)
* ScwEntry, an derivate of GtkEntry which adds:
- Simple input history
Python and Ruby bindings are available, Java-Gtk bindings are planned.
As a bonus feature, the widgets are guaranteed to compile and work on
the Maemo[1] platform (used in the Nokia 770[2] that everybody is so
exited about).
More detailed description is found on the home page of Scw.
Applications that use Scw
==================
* Rirc (an irssi2 client, has been discontinued for the time being)
* Silky (is being ported to it in the REWRITE branch,
http://silky.sourceforge.net/
* Telepathy people are doing a proto client using Scw
(http://telepathy.freedesktop.org)
* Your app here possibly? Let me know!
