Old Announcements

• 29 May 2016

  • Alpha 3 is here! Get it here.
  • The next packaged release will introduce:
    • uiGrid, another way to lay out controls, a la GtkGrid
    • uiOpenGLArea, a way to render OpenGL content in a libui uiArea
    • uiTable, a data grid control that may or may not have tree facilities (if it does, it will be called uiTree instead)
    • a complete, possibly rewritten, drawing and text rendering infrastructure

• 24 May 2016

  • You can now help choose a potential new build system for libui.
  • Tomorrow I will decide if OS X 10.7 will also be dropped alongside GTK+ 3.4-3.8 this Saturday. Stay tuned.

• 22 May 2016

  • Two more open questions I'd like your feedback on are available here and here.
  • Sometime in the next 48 hours (before 23:59 EDT on 24 May 2016) I will split uiCombobox into two separate controls, uiCombobox and uiEditableCombobox, each with slightly different events and "selected item" mechanics. Prepare your existing code.

• 21 May 2016

  • I will now post announcements and updates here.
  • Now that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is here, no earlier than next Saturday, 28 May 2016 at noon EDT, I will bump the minimum GTK+ version from 3.4 to 3.10. This will add a lot of new features that I can now add to libui, such as search-oriented uiEntries, lists of arbitrary control layouts, and more. If you are still running a Linux distribution that doesn't come with 3.10, you will either need to upgrade or use jhbuild to set up a newer version of GTK+ in a private environment.
  • You can decide if I should also drop OS X 10.7 here.
