libglade-2.0.1:  29-August-2002
        - fix up search path for libglade modules.
        - various memory leak fixes (Kristian Rietveld).

libglade-2.0.0:  6-June-2002
        - fix up docs build, and make docbook files mostly XML
          compatible in preparation for XMLised gtk-doc.
        - bump version number up to 2.0.0.

libglade-1.99.12: 12-May-2002
        - more changes to help with Murray's C++ bindings.
        - check whether GTK has a GtkPlug implementation to help with
          building with gtk targets other than X11.
        - Only build the docs if --enable-gtk-doc is passed to configure.
        - pass CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to gtkdoc when building docs, in
          case they are needed to build against the library (fixes
          64-bit solaris issues, #81347).
        - fix up a missing g_object_ref() call in AtkRelationSet
          handling code.
        - More helpful error message if glade file could not be found
          (#80411).

libglade-1.99.11: 28-April-2002
        - don't ref the AtkRelationSet unless we are going to actually
          set up relations.
        - Support for GtkFrame::label_item and GtkEntry::invisible_char.
        - some changes from Murray Cumming needed for the C++ bindings.

libglade-1.99.10: 30-March-2002
        - give GtkListItem widgets a "label" attribute; mainly for use
          by GtkCombo (bug 75471)
        - get rid of the response_id warnings when using GtkDialogs
          (bug 75300)
        - memory leak fix in use of AtkRelations (bug 75782)
        - better handling of the menu in GtkOptionMenu.  This also
          fixes the weird sizing bug where the option menu would
          sometimes grow the first time you popped it up (bug 75590)
        - register GtkSeparatorMenuItem (bug 76682)

libglade-1.99.9: 11-March-2002
        - make build stuff compatible with autoconf-2.53.  This tarball
          is built with autoconf-2.53 and automake-1.6.
        - fixes for GtkLayout's build_children routine
        - normalise property names (s/-/_/) when parsing glade files.
        - support for wmclass_name and wmclass_class window properties.

libglade-1.99.8: 26-February-2002
        - various libglade-convert updates.  These updates will make
          libglade-convert produce significantly better glade 2.0
          files.
        - handle the "has_default" and "has_focus" properties better.
        - fix up test suite so that it will gracefully handle the
          absense of an X server (the tests will return the error code
          indicating that the test can not be performed).
        - Install the DTD file, and add an entry to the XML catalog
          (if possible).  This means we can use a proper URL in the
          DOCTYPE line of glade files, and still be able to validate
          without a network connection.
        - handle the agent attribute on property elements.
        - make --enable-debug the default.

libglade-1.99.7: 7-February-2002
        - make the --enable-debug configure option just add support
          for turning on debugging spew, rather than always spewing.
          You can select what is spewed with the LIBGLADE_DEBUG
          environment variable (similar to the glib and gtk debug spew
          env var).
        - get rid of some unused functions from the module API.  This
          doesn't affect any applications.
        - lots of documentation updates.  It is now relevant to the
          devel branch.

libglade-1.99.6: 31-January-2002
        - stop depending on gnome-common macros.
        - some DTD updates from Damon (last_modification_time
          attribute for signals).
        - handle widget "visibile" property better, so as to not trip
          up some weird redraw bugs.
        - get rid of deprecated stuff in the API (this shouldn't break
          anything).
        - add a <placeholder/> element to the file format for
          representing placeholders, and equivalent code to the parser
          to ignore them.
        - custom props for GtkMenuItem that act similarly to the
          "label", "use_underline" and "use_stock" properties of
          GtkButton.  Corresponding changes to libglade-convert to
          handle them.
        - if using GCC, set some flags to increase the number of
          warnings emitted.

libglade-1.99.5: 12-December-2001
        - lots of widget handling updates from Jacob using custom props.
        - make the python check in configure actually work, and don't
          install libglade-convert if no acceptable python was found.
        - many updates to libglade-convert.

libglade-1.99.4: 26-November-2001
        - start of test suite (from Jacob)
        - add configure magic to try and pick out a usable version of
          python.
        - add support for "custom properties".  This allows
          registering handlers that will get called by
          glade_standard_build_widget() to handle those properties.

libglade-1.99.3: 31-October-2001
        - get rid of the need to call glade_init() before using libglade.
        - new function for registering handlers for types, and
          automatically support other widget types through the generic
          handlers.
        - better support for many widgets.
        - remove gnome, bonobo and canvas support moules, as they are
          being moved to their respective packages.
        - initial ATK support from Bill Haneman.

libglade-1.99.2: 26-September-2001
        - add support for GtkWidget type properties (string
          representation is the property name).
        - change where headers are installed to match stable branch
          and not tread on the toes of glade.
        - added gnomeui support.
        - don't install libglade-xgettext script.

libglade-1.99.1: 24-August-2001
        - start of unstable branch.
        - new file format.
        - added libglade-convert script to convert old glade files.
        - use GObject properties for construction of most widgets
        - make GladeXML a GObject

libglade-0.16: 13-February-2001
        - GNOME-DB support contributed by David Marin Carreno.
        - various other bug fixes and a few memory leaks plugged.  See
          changelog for details.

libglade-0.15: 22-November-2000
        - many bug fixes and memory leak plugs (me, Morten, Federico, others)
        - libglade now does `visible accel group' handling for
          GnomeDruids as well.
        - Install pkg-config .pc files so that you can get libglade
          cflags and libs through the pkg-config system as well.  Due
          to a small bug in pkgconfig-0.4, these files cause a segfault :(
        - Updated bonobo support (Michael)
        - You now need to pass the --enable-bonobo flag to configure
          to build with bonobo support.
        - small fix to headers so that they don't cause problems with
          the C++ compiler in RH7.0.

libglade-0.14: 10-July-2000
        - radio menu item support (from patch by Mitch Chapman)
        - make accelerators visible in GtkPixmapMenuitems.
        - Added a glade_set_custom_handler to allow better control
          over creation of `Custom' widgets.  This can be used by
          language bindings or other applications that want more
          control over custom widget handling.
        - add tearoff menu items to menus if gnome settings say that
          they should be shown.
        - a few other bug fixes.

libglade-0.13: 20-May-2000
        - improved bonobo support from Michael Meeks.
        - building documentation doesn't require an X connection now.
        - accelerators for widgets on notebook pages are now only active
          when the page is visible (Jon K Hellan).
        - memory leak fixes (Morten).

libglade-0.12: 13-March-2000
        - fixes for GtkHPaned/GtkVPaned.
        - handle progress bar attributes.
        - dock layout should save correctly now for GnomeApp widgets.
        - handle non stock menu icons in GNOME mode.
        - added glade_xml_get_widget_prefix() function to get all widgets
          whose names start with a certain prefix.
        - added glade_xml_signal_connect_data() function that connects a
          named signal and allows you to specify the data argument.  This
          is a simple wrapper around glade_xml_signal_connect_full.
        - bonobo support from Michael Meeks.

libglade-0.11: 5-December-1999
        - fixed some more problems that would cause segfaults on some errors.
        - added support for GtkCalendar and GtkInputDialog.
        - added assertions to some functions to try to pick up more runtime
          errors.

libglade-0.9:  20-November-1999
        - don't crash when creating a GtkPixmap widget if the pixmap file
          couldn't be found, or the pixmap file was corrupt.
        - fixed bug with setting the window policy.  If you were using
          libglade-0.8 and found you could not resize windows correctly, then
          this bug should now be fixed.

libglade-0.8:  16-November-1999
        - fixed mem leak in the GtkLabel and GtkAccelLabel creation routines.
          Also recognise the wrap property of these widgets.
        - fixed the code for removing placeholders in the tree, so it actually
          works.
        - fixed the i18n stuff so it doesn't translate empty strings.
        - take notice of more of the settings on GnomeDruidPageStandard's.
        - don't depend on internal libxml structures.  This means that libxml
          1.7.2 or greater is required, but libglade will be less likely to
          break if Daniel changes the internal structures.
        - fixed recognition of GNOME_STOCK_PIXMAP_EXIT.
        - some justification fixes for some menu items.
        - correctly name GnomeDockItems
        - be more consistent with setting the properties of toplevel windows.
          Also added support for the modal and default_width/default_height
          properties.
        - test-libglade.c is now dual licenced under GPL and X style licence.
          This clears up any problems with creating a non GPL/LGPL'd
          application using test-libglade as a starting point.

libglade-0.7:  28-September-1999
        - Fixed a bug where libglade would seg fault when you tried to load
          a file that did not exist or was not a valid XML file.  This bug
          was found by Michael Meeks.
        - Fixed segfault when adding normal buttons to a GnomeDialog's action
          area.  This fixes bug #2323.

libglade-0.6:  20-September-1999
        - libglade now honours the has_focus and has_default flags for
          widgets.
        - The correct default for can_focus (false) is now used.  This was
          found by Miguel.  It should prevent the segfaults caused by
          infinite recursion some people were seeing.
        - Placeholders are removed from the interface as it gets parsed.  The
          warnings were not really very useful, and there are times when you
          want to leave some spaces blank (such as in tables).
        - Fixed bug with setting accelerators that have no modifiers.  This
          one was found by Paul Clifford.

libglade-0.5:  7-September-1999
        - removed some stuff to do with glade-keys.c I missed in the last
          release.
        - If a .glade file has been changed on disk since it was last loaded
          by libglade, it is reparsed.  This should be helpful for libptb.
        - New function glade_xml_new_from_memory for building an interface
          from an in memory buffer containing the XML file.
        - Better support for underline accelerators.  You can now set
          underline accelerators on GtkLabel's, and get them to change focus
          to another widget, click a button, or change the page on a notebook.
        - Added support for the GtkLayout, GnomeIconList, GnomeIconSelection,
          GnomeDruid, GnomeDruidPageStart, GnomeDruidPageFinish,
          GnomeDruidPageStandard, GnomePixmap and GnomePropertyBox widgets.

libglade-0.4:  24-August-1999
        - Use gdk_keyval_by_name instead of a local hash table for looking
          up key values for accelerators.  This removes a big hash table
          from libglade's overhead.
        - Radio buttons groups are really fixed this time.
        - Table column spacing is correctly interpreted now.
        - Support for the GtkPacker widget has been added.

libglade-0.3:  9-August-1999
        - Changed over to a SAX based XML parser.  This cuts down on memory
          usage and increases speed a bit for the parser.  It also reduces
          the number of malloc's and frees.
        - Better handling of accelerator keys, including underline accelerators
          for menu items and buttons.
        - Miscelaneous bug fixes.

libglade-0.2:  20-June-1999
        - Radio group support
        - The start of gnome support -- this code has been split off into a
          separate library called libglade-gnome.  You can get the cflags or
          libraries to link with the gnome code by calling `libglade-config
          --cflags --libs gnome`.  Also, if you want gnome support, you
          should call glade_gnome_init() instead of glade_init().
        - I18N support.  Libglade can either use the current translation
          domain when building the widget tree, or you can specify a
          different one with glade_xml_new_with_domain().  There is also
          a program called libglade-xgettext to help extract strings for
          translation from an XML file.

libglade-0.1: 27-May-1999
        - Many fixes from many people.  This version should actually be
          useable.
        - Now includes documentation.

libglade-0.0.3: 2-November-1998
        - Forgot to include makekeys.awk -- this may have caused problems
          for some people.

libglade-0.0.2: 1-November-1998
        - Updated to work with the changes Daniel made to libxml.
        - Added support for keyboard accelerators.

libglade-0.0.1: 25-October-1998
        - Initial release
