[Caml-list] [Announce] LablGtk 2.16.0

[Jacques Garrigue]

Dear Camlers,

At long last, here comes LablGtk 2.16.0, the latest release of the
OCaml interface to the Gtk+ GUI library and friends (gtkglarea, glade,
rsvg, gnomecanvas, gnomedruid, panel, gtkspell and gtksourceview2.)

It includes a number of bug fixes, API improvements, and better thread
support.

You can find it at:

    http://lablgtk.forge.ocamlcore.org/

A binary release for windows is included, using OCaml 4.00.

Many people contributed to this release, see the commit log for all
their names...

Changes since 2.14.2:

2012.08.23 [Jacques]
  * update Windows port, compiles fine on mingw with
    ./configure --disable-gtktest
  * lablgtk2 script does not load extra libraries by default
    (use flag -all to load all extensions)

2012.08.17 [Jacques]
  * generate correct lablgtk2 script for findlib.
  * add old-uninstall target.
  * support threaded toplevel with Quartz backend, using gtkThTop.ml
    (runs the toplevel loop in another thread)
  * remove GtkThInit from META (not portable)
  * avoid busy waiting by using g_main_context_set_poll_func to
    make polling non-blocking.
    busy waiting is still needed for VM threads, and can be activated
    by setting the environment variable LABLGTK_BUSY_WAIT.

2012.08.16 [Jacques]
  * update applications/browser for OCaml 4.00
  * update applications/camlirc to use GText instead of GBroken.text

  * add a high-level API to create keyboard shortcuts.

2012.06.12 [Adrien]

  * new signals for notebook: select_page, reorder_tab,
    change_current_page, move_focus_out, page_{added,removed,reordered}
  * add gtk_container_child_{set,get}_property
  * add gtk_notebook_{set,get}_tab_reorderable
  * add gtk_signal_new which can be used to create custom keyboard shortcuts

    the "bar" property of the object "foo".
