Here is a summary of the noteworthy changes in this release, also
available in NEWS file and on the G-Golf website.

** Examples

*** Gtk-4

**** Simple and animated paintable

Upstream GdkPaintableFlags were renamed as static-size and
static-content, now fixed in g-golf as well.

In addition, the nuclear icon snapshot procedure - originally written
using the cairo backend - is now also proposed using the Gsk api.

Both examples were upated to process "-d, --debug" and/or "-c, --cairo"
command line options, parameterize and call nuclear-snapshot-cairo or
nuclear-snapshot-gsk (the default in absence of command line option)
accordingly.

**** Peg solitaire

Upstream GdkPaintableFlags were renamed as static-size and
static-content, now fixed in g-golf as well.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
    .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig
    file and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

	gpg --verify g-golf-0.8.5.tar.gz

    If that command fails because you don't have the required public
    key, then run this command to import it:

	gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys A3057AD7

    and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command
