[slang-users] slirp 1.7.6 and slgtk 0.5.15 released


Friends,

SLIRP version 1.7.6 and SLgtk version 0.5.15 are now available at

	http://space.mit.edu/CXC/software/slang/modules/slgtk
	http://space.mit.edu/CXC/software/slang/modules/slirp

These are maintenance releases, issued primarily to establish
compatibility with Gtk 2.6.10, bundle the recent VWhere 1.3.2
patch, and establish compliance with the Debian packaging
mechanism.  Extra thanks go to Rafael Laboissiere @ Debian, for
useful patches, feedback, and patient testing.

Due to networking problems on some of the target platforms the
binary distributions have not been updated yet; these should be
available within a day or two.  Debian users may be interested
in the preliminary binary packages available at

	http://people.debian.org/~rafael/slgtk/
	http://people.debian.org/~rafael/slirp/

Regards,
Michael S. Noble

SLgtk Version 0.5.15:

  1.	Image plot now checks that 24 bit display is available
  2.	VWhere 1.3.2 enhancements:
	- newer pref settings in .vwhererc are encapsulated w/in version tests
	- runtime variable aliases created by vwhere() are now guaranteed
	  unique, so as to avoid overwriting any existing symbols
  3.	Install rule for contrib/gdk-pixbuf FITS module now uses @sysconfdir@
  4.	Debian packaging (motivated or contributed by R. Laboissiere @ Debian)
	- Gtk 2.6.10 build compatibility
	- Makefile tweaks for relocatability
	- Much more up-to-date config.sub and config.guess scripts
	- The bundled version of SLIRP is no longer installed by default
	  when installing SLgtk proper
	- Install imdisplay.1 man page

SLIRP v1.7.6:

 1.	Runing on non-existent files now issues warning, rather than abort
 2.	Unused #define macros no longer substituted to empty string by default
 3.	Better platform-specific uninstall/clean targets (motivated by Marko)
 4.	No longer choke on preprocessor directives within enums (reported
	by Laurent Perez and Rafael Laboissiere)
 5.	Updated config.guess and config.sub to 2005 versions
 6.	Include slirp.1 and slirpsh.1 man pages
 7.	Examples updates (R.Laboissiere @ Debian) :
	  - makef: test no longer captures make output
	  - fortran: disable single-precision complex multiplication test,
	    until full compatibility with gfortran is established
