 # ui: platform-native GUI library for Go
 
-## NOTE
+This is a library that aims to provide simple GUI software development in Go.
 
-ui is currently being rewritten for stability. The guts of the package will now be in C. For progress updates, see [the new repo for the C backend](https://github.com/andlabs/libui/).
+It is based on my [libui](https://github.com/andlabs/libui), a simple cross-platform library that does the same thing, but written in C. **You must include this library in your binary distributions.**
 
-## Feature requests wanted! (Really; IDK what to add next!)

-This is a library that aims to provide simple GUI software development in Go. It runs on/requires:
-
-- Windows: cgo, MinGW-w64 (see note below), Windows XP and newer
-	- **Note**: Notice I specifically said [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/) here. This is important: regular MinGW is missing various recent header files which package ui uses, and thus won't build with it. Make sure your MinGW is that version instead. If you're running on Windows and are not sure what to download, get the mingw-builds distribution.
+- Windows: cgo, Windows Vista and newer
 - Mac OS X: cgo, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer
 - other Unixes: cgo, GTK+ 3.4 and newer
 
-Go 1.4 RC1 or newer (including Go tip/master/direct from the source repository) is required. This is due to a variety of compiler and linker bugs on Windows and Mac OS X spanning the Go 1.3 release family.
+TODO figure out the minimum required version of Go
 
 (this README needs some work)
 
-Be sure to have at least each outermost Window escaping to the heap until a good resolution to Go issue 8310 comes out.
-
-prevlib.tar contains the previous version of the library as it stood when I restarted; don't bother using it.
+# Installation
 
 # Documentation
 
 The in-code documentation needs improvement. I have written a [tutorial](https://github.com/andlabs/ui/wiki/Getting-Started) in the Wiki.
 
 # Updates
-
-**21 February 2015**<br>Implemented Table column headers as a `uicolumn:` struct tag.
-
-This will probably be the last change for a while; I want to redo the backend again.
-
-**19 February 2015**<br>ImageList is now gone; you simply store `*image.RGBA`s in your Table data structure and they'll work.
-
-Alongside this change is the introduction of a new backend for Table on Windows that should be more flexible than the standard list view control. This control is implemented in the `wintable/` folder; it is implemented in C and will one day be spun off into its own project for general-purpose use. I have tried to make it work as much like the standard list view control as possible, and it mostly works fine. That being said, there are still issues and incompletenesses. Please feel free to report any issues you may have found (though watch the TODOs in the source; I may know about the issue already).
-
-**5 November 2014**<br>TextFields can now be marked as read-only (non-editable). Textboxes will gain this ability soon.
-
-**4 November 2014**<br>Added two new controls, Spinbox (which allows numeric entry with up and down buttons) and ProgressBar (which measures progress). Both aren't fully fleshed out, but are good enough for general use now.
-
-**28 October 2014**<br>Mac OS X resizing issues should be (mostly?) fixed now. Textbox still doesn't work right...
-
-**24 October 2014**<br>Textbox, a multi-line version of TextField, has been added. (Note that it may not work properly on Mac OS X; this is being investigated.) In addition, excess space around controls on Mac OS X should be settled now.
-
-**18 October 2014**<br>The container system was rewritten entirely. You can now set a margin on Windows and Groups and spacing between controls ("padding") on Stacks, Grids, and SimpleGrids. Margins on Tabs will come soon. The work needed to change this will make future additions (like Popover and Spinbox) easier/more sensible. (The Mac OS X code is still glitchy; mind the dust.)
-
-As part of the change, standalone Labels have been removed. All Labels now behave like standalone labels. A new layout container, Form, will be introduced in the near future to allow proper layout of widgets with labels.
-
-**3 September 2014**<br>The new GtkGrid-style Grid is now implemented! See its documentation for more details. Also, debugging spew has been removed.
-
-**31 August 2014**<br>Grid is now renamed SimpleGrid in preparation for implementing a more [GtkGrid](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkGrid.html)-like Grid. Mind the change.

-	- links for the latter
-- alpha-blended menu bitmaps
-- 256x256 icons and smoother icon scaling algorithms involving scaling down from a larger size instead of scaling up to a larger size
-	- `SHDefExtractIcon()` does this for you AND still works on XP
-- **TaskDialog**
-- **cue banners actually work properly regardless of East Asian language support**
