Updated 2010-04-17 14:47:45 by pa_mcclamrock

WJG (07/04/10) The Gnocl development team are pleased to announce the release of Version 0.9.95. Over the past few months a wide range significant enhancements and additions have been made to the range of resources available. Perhaps the most significant of all these changes has been the inclusion of the ability to load both Builder and Glade XML UI description files from either disk or internal buffers. In order to allow Glade users to take advantage of all the Gtk+ widget and dialogues available, a number of additional widgets have been added which to accommodate the minor differences between the basic Gtk+ offerings and their feature rich Gnocl counterparts. Included too with this release is the implementation of the gnocl::pixBuf command for the manipulation of offscreen graphics..
