Thanks to John Lato and Duncan Coutts for the latest bugfix release! The latest packages should be buildable on GHC 7.6, and the cairo package should behave a bit nicer in ghci on Windows. Thanks to all!

A number of packages have undergone a point release today: cairo, glib, gstreamer, gtk2hs-buildtools, gtksourceview2, svgcairo, and webkit. The only changes are to allow these packages to build on a wider variety of GHC, gtk, and cabal-install version mixtures. Thanks to Sergei Trofimovich and Christian Maeder for contributing to this mini-release!
I am very grateful to Duncan who put a lot of effort into adjusting Gtk2Hs to work with GHC 7.XX which resulted in the release of Gtk2Hs 0.12.1 which was not widely announced. Since then two bugs in Pango and Cairo were fixed and I’m now happy to announce the release of Gtk2Hs 0.12.2.
New in this (and Duncan’s) release:
- compiles with GHC 7.XX
- works with the binary Gtk+ packages on Windows without the need for Msys/MingW
- more robust CPP detection under Windows
- Gtk+ on Aqua working on Mac
- a serious performance bug in Cairo rendering due to Double to CDouble conversion fixed
(reported and fixed by Eugene Kirpichov and Felipe Lessa)
- typesetting paragraphs manually using PangoItem now works as expected
(reported by Brandon Moore)
Many thanks to Duncan, Brandon, Eugene and Felipe!
Enjoy,
Axel
The Gtk2Hs team is happy to announce a new release of the core packages glib, gio, pango, cairo, and gtk all in version 0.12.0. Andy Stewart has put in a lot of effort to add many new functions to gtk, thereby getting close to covering the full Gtk+ API. John Obbele has kindly investigated into fixing some memory leaks.
