Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new unstable 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
========
  * Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
    Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
  * Exporting to/importing from PilRC .rcp files
  * Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
  * Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
 =09- String and string list resources
 =09- Dialog resources
 =09- Menu resources
 =09- Form resources
 =09- Bitmap resources
 =09- Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
  * WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
  * Flexible, complete undo support
  * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
  * Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About these releases
====================
* Fixed crashes when using the built-in "LED" font
* I/O error handling improvements
* Can now be compiled with GCC 3.4 (thanks in part to Frederic Crozat)
* Using the nice ComboBoxes from GTK 2.4 instead of the ugly old
   OptionMenus
* Lots of updated translations

Guikachu uses the GNOME 2 platform, particularly the GNOMEmm and GTKmm
C++ bindings. The ImageMagick library is used for managing bitmap
resources. 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.


Beware of bug=E9mons!
