Well, yes, i think nor i, nor the two other authors are using it anymore. Simply i have no more time for it, so sadly i can no more do developpment for it. I still maintain the debian package of it, so it will ever build with the latest ocaml, but no more. > I prefer mlgtk to lablgtk since it is easier to use, easier to understand > and generates more compact code(at least on AIX system). Nice to see that you still use it, i thought nobody used it anymore. > So, I'd like to see more activities on mlgtk. It is GPLed code, feel free to work on it yourself. I think Pascal Cuoq has access to the CVS repository, but we can migrate it to a savannah/sourceforge project or something such. > The other question is about reference counting. > I looked at lablgtk source and saw that it implemented reference counting, > but I cound not find any reference counting code in mlgtk. > If it is not, is it because the developers decided that it was not > necessary or it just wasn't implemented ? Don't know about this one, i was not the primary author, just used it and added the functions i needed, and tried to work some on auto generation using the begining of the c2caml C header parsing tool which i hopped would generate me at least part of the bindings from the gtk+ C headers.
