Murrine 0.90.1 and 0.90.2, and happy GNOME 2.26.0! 18 March, 2009

Today should be released GNOME 2.26.0? Yes, so congrats to us! :-)

Talking about Murrine, I’ve released 0.90.1 and 0.90.2 which contains mainly bugfixes.
0.90.1 was relased with a typo (sorry!!!) which caused a crash, thanks bitzer for pointing that out.

Changelog for 0.90.1

Changes in this release:
- High roundness values are now correctly limited.
- Use focus_color in draw_entry if the theme uses it.
- Removed shadows from GtkCombo and GtkComboBoxEntry.
- Code polishing and bugfixing.

Changelog for 0.90.2

Requires Gtk+ 2.12.0
Changes in this release:
- Fixed a crash when using focus_color.

Murrine 0.90.0 is OUT! 16 March, 2009

Murrine is a Gtk+ engine, written in C language, using cairo vectorial graphics library. By default it comes with a modern glassy look, elegant and clean on the eyes. But it is also extremely customizable, and allows the user to achieve an incredible variety of styles.

Wow, new rockin’ release!
Enjoy.
Download the source code!

Changelog

Too many changes to be listed, let’s take a summary.
This new version is extremely customizable with a huge number of new
options. Those new options allow the user to achieve an incredible
variety of styles.
In order to add those features the engine was rewritten in many parts,
sometimes even 2 or 3 times! :-) This results in a simpler code, more
readable and more maintainable, with a lot of custom code moved from
each widget drawing function (before) to a general murrine drawing
support file (now). For example adding a new glaze style will now cost
about 20 lines and it will be applied immediately to every single
widget.
Murrine can finally use the alpha channel to draw a real transparent
theme, all it needs is an application using the RGBA colormap and a
theme with the rgba option enabled.
During the whole development, murrine was kept in sync with
every bugfix that hit gtk-engines, so this new version can also be
considered much more stable than the previous one.

Murrine Development Release in the Weekend? 15 March, 2009

UPDATE: should be out soon http://download.gnome.org/sources/murrine/0.90/

I’m still not sure but maybe I will publish a Murrine development release in this weekend (with development I mean it won’t be called 1.0, maybe 0.90 or similar).

I’d like to have it included in Jaunty, because ubuntu is actually shipping an old bugged svn snapshot and I’m a bit tired of closing bugreports about that obsolete version.

If you have some last requests, please take a look at that post.
