Hello Guilers,

The first release candidate of the upcoming GNU G-Golf 0.8.0 release is
now available for testing:

* Tarball and a GPG detached signature [*]:

        http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/g-golf/g-golf-0.8.0-rc-1.tar.gz
        http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/g-golf/g-golf-0.8.0-rc-1.tar.gz.sig

* Install

Dependencies and complete installation instructions are given in the
distributed INSTALL file, or here:

        https://www.gnu.org/software/g-golf/install.html

* Noteworthy changes in this release

Here is a summary of the noteworthy changes in this release, also
available in NEWS file and on G-Golf's site.

** New features

Derived class
GObject properties

Derived classes slot exposed as a gobject property now also support the
boolean, uint, float, double, flags, string, param and boxed types.

** Examples

Adwaita Demo

The 'Style Classes' page has been added to the demo.

* You can help

1. Testing by installing from the tarball, or from the source if you
   prefer, on the distro of your choice.

2. By running the distributed examples.

Ultimately, one of the best way to test, and participate, is to select
G-Golf to develop the next application of your dream! Here is an
overview of the GNOME platform libraries [1], accessible using G-Golf.
In particular, libadwaita [2] provides a number of widgets that change
their layout based on the available space. This can be used to make
applications adapt their UI between desktop and mobile devices (as shown
in the G-Golf port of the "Adwaita demo").

* Contact

Consider joining us on irc [3], where you may ask for help or report a
problem [4].

However, if you prefer:

        G-Golf uses the guile-user@gnu.org mailing list
        Report bugs to bug-g-golf@gnu.org


Thanks!
David


[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
    .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig
    file and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

        gpg --verify g-golf-0.8.0-rc-1.tar.gz

    If that command fails because you don't have the required public
    key, then run this command to import it:

        gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys A3057AD7

    and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command

[4] When reporting a problem, or if you think you found a bug, it is
very important that you prepare a minimal reproducible example (MRE),
sometimes also referred to as a short self-contained correct example
(SSCCE)

        http://www.sscce.org/
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_reproducible_example

Also, on irc, we chat :), so please do not write code snipsets directly
in the channel, unless 2 or 3 lines of code, nor error messages of
course - for more then 2 or 3 lines of code, or error messages, always
use a tor-friendly paste service (avoid those that track its visitors
and require javascript, thanks!).
