ANNOUNCE: GNOME Platform Bindings 2.5.1

*** GNOME Platform Bindings

This is the first [1] release of the GNOME Platform Bindings release set, 
which provides a GNOME development platform for programming languages 
other than C, in the style of those languages. This release set gives 
some bindings a schedule and rules to work within, so we can endorse 
those bindings. We very much hope that Linux distributions will 
therefore choose to distribute these bindings as a supported 
development platform.

Rules:
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/bindings/rules.html
Schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/bindings/

Note that those rules do not guarantee 100% API coverage, but they do
guarantee API/ABI stability.

For the GNOME 2.5/2.6 schedule, we have bindings for C++, Java, and Perl:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/bindings/modules.html

There are "Beta Bindings" for C#, which are likely to be on the full 
release schedule for GNOME 2.7/2.8. Note that other bindings exist:
http://www.gtk.org/bindings.html
but they are not on this release schedule and they do not necessarily 
follow the same rules.

If you have questions about the GNOME Platform Bindings release set please
send email to [email protected].

(when the ftp mirrors update)

Note that this release announcement was delayed, so your favourite binding 
might already have newer releases.

[1] Yes, 2.5.1 is the first release. We started late.
