java-gnome 2.14.3 released

Last week the java-gnome project did a point release of the stable branch of the Java bindings allowing you to write GTK and GNOME programs from Java. The 2.14.3 set of tarballs consist of:

glib-java      0.2.6
cairo-java     1.0.5
libgtk-java    2.8.7
libgnome-java  2.12.5
libglade-java  2.12.6
libgconf-java  2.12.4
libvte-java    0.12.1
libeds-java    0.5.1

As one would expect of a version number like 2.14.3, this release consists mostly of bugfixes and minor changes improving stability.

Of particular note are large contributions of patches and cleanups to the example code which ships with the sources of each library in doc/examples from the Sun team in Ireland. You guys are terrific. This effort was led by Michal Pryc.

You can download the tarballs making up this release from ftp.gnome.org. Anyone interested in learning more about writing GTK and GNOME applications using Java can either go to our website, java-gnome.sourceforge.net , or join us in #java-gnome on GIMPnet.

Meanwhile, work continues on what will become the java-gnome 2.16.0 set, which should hopefully be released soon.

As has been noted in several emails to both the java-gnome-developer and java-gnome-hackers mailing lists, we are engaged in a re-engineering of the Java bindings around the GNOME libraries, and so a major API break is expected after the java-gnome 2.16 series.
