added a summary of the new features.
1999-04-22 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au> * NEWS: added a summary of the new features. * pygtk.spec: upped version number. * configure.in: upped version number to 0.6.0. I think thread support is a big enough feature to bump it up to 0.6. 1999-04-21 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au> * gtk.py (create_bitmap_from_data): added new wrapper. * gtkmodule.c: added gdk_bitmap_create_from_data function. Also export PyGtk_BlockThreads and PyGtk_UnblockThreads through the _private dictionary, so they can be used from within other modules (gnome-python in particular). 1999-04-22 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au> * NEWS: added some news items. * configure.in: upped version number * gnome-python.spec: upped versions, and included capplet and applet modules. * pygnome/gnomeuimodule.c: added calls to make gnomeuimodule act correctly with the thread support in pygtk. * pygnome/gnome/Makefile.am (gnome_PYTHON): conditionally install applet.py and capplet.py. * pygnome/gnome/capplet.py: a wrapper for CappletWidget. 1999-04-21 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au> * pygnome/gnome/applet.py: a wrapper for AppletWidget. This is what most people will use. * pygnome/Makefile.am, pygnome/generate/Makefile.am: made changes to build _applet and _capplet modules if libraries are available. * configure.in: added some tests to see if applets or capplets libraries are installed. If so, set up a few conditionals for building the python modules for them. * pygnome/cappletmodule.c, pygnome/generate/capplet.defs: base module for creating control center capplets in python. This module should also work properly with the threading fixes for pygtk. * pygnome/appletmodule.c, pygnome/generate/applet.defs: base module for creating panel applets in python. This module should work together with the threading fixes for pygtk. 1999-04-20 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au> * pygnome/gnome/uiconsts.py: added some more stock item constants. * pygnome/gnomeuimodule.c (_wrap_gnome_canvas_get_item_at): this function could return NULL, which could cause a problem. * pygnome/gnomemodule.c (_wrap_gnome_config_{,private_}get_string): moved implementation here, because these functions can return NULL.

+pygtk-0.6.0: 22-April-1999
+ - updated for gtk+-1.2.1.
+ - You can now write multithreaded programs in python (if python was
+ compiled with thread support enabled, of course). This feature
+ is thanks to Duncan Grisby <dgrisby@uk.research.att.com>.
+ To use the multithreading, write your program as normal, but
+ before calling any GTK routines from outside the GTK thread (ie.
+ not from a signal handler or timeout/idle func), call threads_enter()
+ before hand, and threads_leave() after.
+ - Various bug fixes.
