[cells-gtk-devel] New cells-gtk capabilities and new tarball

[Peter Denno]

Hi,

I created a new tarball of cells-gtk available from the home page 
http://common-lisp.net/project/cells-gtk/ . The tarball is currently synced 
to what is in CVS. It contains some new things:

- ComboBoxes may now use a TreeModel, thus allowing a hierarchical arrangement 
of items. The demo has an example of this under the "menus" tab.  You need to 
build libcellsgtk to use TreeModel-style ComboBoxes.

- TreeBoxes may now specify :expand-all t  to allow the tree to initially 
display completely expanded.

- There is a new procedure to find the gtk libraries. The path need be 
specified in just one place: gtk-ffi/gtk-ffi.asd. (See details INSTALL.txt) I 
had hopes that for at least some lisps, it would not be necessary to specify 
the path to libraries at all. This doesn't seem to be the case. I'll 
investigate more. 

- Miscellaneous small improvements

- The tarball uses Cells 2.

I have tested this on cmucl and Lispworks/Linux. I have not tested it on 
Windows yet because I don't have a windows box handy and VMWare isn't working 
on my Linux box. So if you are running Windows, let me know how it goes.
