ANN: Guis 1.4 release (GTK2 scriptable widget server)

Basile,

Nice work, I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to try it, but I like
the model. I’ve been thinking as of late, if you can have web servers
why not GUI widget servers? Guess I now know the answer. You can.

So when do we get the ‘drag-n-drop’ forms. ;^)

Cheers,

–Alan

Dear All,

This is to announce availability of Guis-1.4 (opensource under GPL)

Guis widget server is a Gtk2 widget server. It listens on pipes for
widget requests (in the Python or Ruby scripting languages), and emit
replies or events in textual lines (e.g. Lispy, XML or plain token
syntax).

Actually, there are 2 different programs: ruguis is Guis for Ruby and
pyguis is Guis for Python, sharing some common source code.

See Best Open Source Mac Software Development Software 2024 and
GUIS - a GUI widget server release 1.6 on Thu, 30 Dec 2004 14:14:05 +0100 prcsproj 1.62 and download

Guis uses the PyGTK binding for Python to GTK2 and the ruby-gnome2
binding for Ruby to GTK2.

Changlog since 1.3

  • bug fixes, notably fixed coredump when shrinking read buffer
  • trace window use char wrap
  • logfile ability
  • support for Python2.2 & 2.3 and for Ruby1.8
  • better support for gtk main loop inside & outside initial script

I’m CC-ing the PyGTK and rubygnome2 mailing lists

I’ll be delighted by feedback!
