spuug 0.4

spuug is a little tool that generates the boilerplate code for GObjects. I you don't know what they are, then probably this tool is of little use to you...

spuug can be used for 'plain' GObjects, but also for GTK+-widgets etc., and tries to be a bit smart with the code in spits out. I've been using it myself for a while, and it has been very helpful. However, a code generator is no more than that -- you still need to understand GObjects/GtkWidgets to use it. So, I would recommend writing a couple 'by hand' before using a tool like this one.

If you find any problems or you have improvements, please report them to me·
spuug is Dutch for the imperative form of to spit out.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· The output was simplified a bit (by using G_DEFINE_TYPE) and things were made a bit faster by keeping a *priv pointer around in the public struct.
