* About Guile-Gnome:

Guile-Gnome is a Guile wrapper collection for the following GNOME core
libraries:

	Gobject, Glib, Atk, Pango, Pangocairo, Gdk, Gdk-Pixbuf, Gtk,
	Libglade, Gnome-Vfs, Libgnome, Libgnomecanvas, Libgnomeui,
	Corba

Guile-Gnome brings the power of Guile Scheme to your graphical
application, providing a comprehensive environment for developing
modern applications.


* Changes since 2.16.2:

The primary objectives, working towards this release, were (a) to
remove all code specific to the support of Guile versions prior to
Guile 2, (b) removing all [but 1 Corba related that still need to be
taken care of, help welcome] Guile deprecated calls, and (c) wrap
gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels required by Guile-Clutter 1.12.

    All modules

	- Guile-Gnome now requires Guile 2.0, allows Guile 2.2
	- Requires G-Wrap >=3D 1.9.15
	- Requires Guile-Cairo >=3D 1.10

	Note: at the time we write, Guile-Cairo 1.10 has not been
	released yet, it will hope fully soon be the case. In the mean
	time, the required bleeding edge Guile-Cairo stable version
	must be obtained from the source, see here:

		http://www.nongnu.org/guile-cairo/dev/

	- toplevel calls moved into an eval-when conditions exp
	- scm-error incorrect arg list, various calls, all fixed
	- all [but 1 Corba related] Guile deprecated calls removed
	- remove use of some undocumented GOOPS internals
	- adapt to GOOPS changes in Guile 2.2
	- make check and make distcheck both have been fixed to work
          with recent automake versions [thanks to Ludovic Court=C3=A9s
          for his help wrt to make check]

    Corba

	- fixing allocate-instance for <CORBA:Object>
	- gnome-corba-error, gruntime-error, don't call save-stack
	   [deprecated]

    Glib

	- g_get_current_time now [temporarily] ignored, it was not
           properly wrapped anyway
	- <glib-wrapset> missing some basic pointer types: guint8*,
           guchar*, gunichar*, gunichar2* added and wrapped as opaque
           pointers
	- use &gw-bad-typespec, not &gw:bad-typespec
	- use string-suffix?, not has-suffix?

    Gdk-Pixbuf

	- gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels removed from the ignore list, it
           returns a guchar*, just added, no specific wrapper needed

    Gtk

	- gtk_recent_info_get_application_info should [temporarily]
           be ignored, it needs a special wrapper, to be done still
