PHP-GTK News #9
There wasn’t a whole lot of stuff going on this week in the world of PHP-GTK. I think the pace of the last few weeks has taken its toll and everyone is trying to recover. Although there wasn’t much going on, there was one important item, a plan for the release of the first alpha version of PHP-GTK 2. See the development section for details.
Development
Release plan for PHP-GTK 2-alpha1:
A plan of sorts has been up into place for the first official release of PHP-GTK 2. There are a few issues still out standing but once they are cleared up, we should be set for this very important milestone. First, all remaining patches must be reviewed to see which ones should be included in the release. Next some Windows issues must be cleaned up such as GtkFileChooser bugs and making sure the libs for the PHP that PHP-GTK 2 will be built against are up to date. Finally, the packaging script needs a quick update to include the generated files so that everyone doesn’t have to create these when they install PHP-GTK 2.
