Subject: Guikachu 1.1.5 "I am sick! She's my mom.": GNOME Resource editor
Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 19:40:03 CST

Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new development 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
========
 * libXML-based I/O
 * Exporting to PilRC .rcp files (compile with pilrc -H)
 * Support for non-PalmOS PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
 * String and string list resources
 * Dialog resources
 * Menu resources
 * Form resources
 * Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
 * WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
 * XSLT style sheets and shell script to generate RCP files from
   Guikachu documents
 * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
 * Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About these releases
====================
Tweaking with the new resizing code. Resize grips are now shown only
for the last selected widget, to avoid cluttering up the screen. With
this release, you can resize lists, but still not forms.

Detailed list of changes:

        * Resize grips shown only for last selected widget
        * Resize grips for List widgets
        * Rubber-band selecting is blocked while adding widgets to a
          form
        * Documentation update to include new features since 1.0

Note that although it's slowly getting to the 1.2 beta cycle, 1.1.x is
still the development series. Bugs may occur, the documentation may
not be in sync with the real features, build may fail. Download the
latest 1.0 release for serious use.

Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented via the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. GConf is used to store user preferences. You will need the
versions of these packages available in the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the
exception of GNOME-- which you will need to upgrade to version 1.2.0)
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.
To use the stand-alone Guikachu-to-RCP converter program, xsltproc
(part of the libxslt package) is required.


Beware of bugémons!

        Cactus

There is a new LUG forming for every one in the Erie, PA area or anyone willing to travel to Erie. This is currently under construction but we are in the process of getting this lug going.There is a general forum available at http://www.frogcement.com/phorum for discussion of admin, help, faq, and general discussion.
Our first meeting is being planned for March 5, 2002. I'm sorry for such a late post as the details wernt worked out until just recently. 
Thanks and hopefully there are some local readers of this newsgroup.
