We are happy to announce a new version of Unison with a user interface
based on Gtk 2.2, enabling display of filenames with any locale encoding.

Please note that this is a source-code-only alpha release.  To use it,
you will need to download the developer source tarball and recompile it
from scratch.  (A binary release will happen in due course, when we've
shaken out the bugs.)

==== from src/README.gtk2

In order to use gtk2 with unison,

1) install glib, pango, gtk (version >2.2)
   from http://www.gtk.org/

2) install lablgtk2 (version >20030423)
   from http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/olabl/lablgtk.html

3) install unison (version >2.9.36)
   from http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

   Simply type 'make'.

   Makefile will detect the presence of lablgtk2 directory
   $(OCAMLLIBDIR)/lablgtk2 (such as /usr/local/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2/)
   and use UISTYLE=gtk2 by default. If absent, it falls back to
   lablgtk with UISTYLE=gtk, then back to UISTYLE=text.

   You can force the selection by
        make UISTYLE=gtk2
     or make UISTYLE=gtk
     or make UISTYLE=text

4) setup your locale environment properly
   for example, export LANG=zh_HK.BIG5-HKSCS

   otherwise, you will get
     Uncaught exception Glib.GError("Invalid byte sequence in conversion input")  

5) enjoy unison with i18n!
