	* written an example of VDKDrawArea usage into ./testvdk
	
2002-03-05 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	Added new widget: VDKDrawingArea that should substitute deprecated VDKCanvas.
___	However VDKcanvas isn't really deprecated, it will continue to be supported even if
	not more enhanced. Simply VDKDrawingArea is a better widget, much powerfull and easy to use.
	VDKDrawingArea is contained into vdkdrawarea.h/.cc files.
	
2002-02-20 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* canvas.cc .h
	Overridden VDKCanvas::SetFont() that now uses its own font (or default
	one if not set).
	This removes an old problem with canvas setting font into an expose_event response 
	function: VDKcanvas::SetFont() used VDKObject::SetFont() that modifies widget style 
	triggering an expose_event and an infinite loop if used into an expose_event response 
	function. Now resolved using font explicitely without interesting widget style.
	
2002-02-12 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE	* canvas.cc .h
BREAK	Made an huge clean up of received events.
----	Now events on canvas must be handled with dynamic signals table.

	* vdktreeview.cc/.h
	Improuved VDKTreeView API

	To VDKValueListIterator<> and VDKListIterator<> template classes
	
2001-12-17 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* vdktreeview.cc .h
---	Added VDKTreeView class and companions.
	This class wraps GtkTreeView widget.
	(incomplete)
	
2001-12-07 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE	* vdkprops.h
BREAK	Changed prop value internal assignement made after have calling
-----	setting function. In other words setting function finds prop value
	at old value when called.
	This avoid a subtle bug when is necessary to operate on old prop value
	into the setting function.
	*** Raw setting function calls are now deprecated. ***
	
2001-09-28 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* Added VDKInputChannel class
---	Thanks to Jonathan Hudson  <jonathan@daria.co.uk> .
	
2001-08-22 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>

	* Trivial Changes to let sigc-extension work with libsigc++-1.0.3
	under gcc-3.0
	* configure.in:
	Added AC_PREREQ(2.50)
	 
2001-08-15 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG FIX	* VDKCustom.cc/.h
------	Get rid of SelectedBackground property since it conflicts with
	VDKObject::SelectedBackground.
	Modified overridden SetBackGround
	* testvdk/testvdk.cc
	Modified to reflect above changes.
	(Bug reported by Tim)
	
2001-08-14 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG	* siglisthandle.h /evlisthandle.h
FIX	Got ride of VDKString in VDK dynamic signal tables.
---	(probably) due to a gcc 2.96.x compiler weirdness on
	const we experienced obscure seg faults during signal table scan.
	VDKString _VDK_Signal_Unit.signal and _VDK_Event_Unit.event 
	substituted with a plain char[]. Sigh :-(
	
2001-08-11 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG	* vdkclist.cc vdkctree.cc
FIX	Correctly initialized sigwid with gtk+ widget. This bug
---	didn't correctly SignalConnect() under some circustances.
	
2001-07-27 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* Added VDKThread class, a simple wrapper on posix threads.
___	Thanks to Salmaso Raffaele <r.salmaso@flashnet.it>
	that did it on 1999.
	
2001-07-04 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdk updated to latest cvs (gtk+ 1.3.7)
	* forms.cc
	GetPosition() changed to use gdk_window_root_origin() to fix a
	coordinate error.
	
2001-05-29  Tim Lorenz  <tim@marder.flotte>
	
	The Long Story of Constness:
	* vdk/vdkeditor.h (VDKEditor::MakeCompletition):
	made arg const
	* vdk/vdkedtior.cc (overlap): second arg is const now
	* vdk/vdkclist.h (class VDKCustomList::_update_pix): consted 
	(SelectionProp::Row): and (Selection::Col): are const methods now.
	(VDKCustomList::UpdateCell): arg s ist const-pointer now.
	* vdk/vdkcsortlist.h (VDKCustomSortedList::FindKey): 
	(VDKCustomSortedList::RemoveKey):
	(VDKCustomSortedList::UpdateCellKey): 
	(VDKCustomSortedList::UpdateKey):
	The key argument is declared const now (as passed to VDKString-Ctor)
	I did some more const changes but did not list them.

	Made type-converter operator of VDKRWProp a const method.
	
2001-05-28  Tim Lorenz  <tim@marder.flotte>
	Tales about const
	* testvdk/edcompo.cc:
	(ToggledSource): also operate on const pointer arg (just to be nice).
	Fixed mem. leak in abortive return (use of std::string would make life
	easier ;-)
	(EditorComponent::HasPage): add const qual. to local var. 'fn'

	* vdk/notebook.h (class VDKNotebook::AddPage): consted one arg 	
	* vdk/vdkcustombutton.h (VDKCustomButton::SetCaption):
	(VDKCustomButton::GetCaption): made string a const char* pointer
	(VDKCustomButton::Caption): 'value_type' now const char*
	(VDKCustomButton::VDKCustomButton()): label-arg is a const-pointer now
	* vdk/label.h (VDKLabel::Caption): 
	set second tpl. arg. to const char* -> VDKRWProp<VDKLabel,const char*>
	(VDKLabel::VDKLabel):  made label-argument const
	(VDKLabel::SetCaption): made argument a const pointer
	(VDKLabel::GetCaption): made return-value a const-pointer
	
	* vdk/notebook.h 
	(VDKNotebook::AddPage): 
	(VDKPage::AddPage): 
	added const-qualifier to signatur -> AddPage(VDKObj*, const char*,
	

	* testvdk/edcompo.cc:
	* vdk/siglisthandle.h: add #include <cstring> and thus use of namespace

2001-05-25  Tim Lorenz  <tim@marder.flotte>

	* several: Changed to include c++-versions of c-headers (like cstring 
	instead of string.h). 
	This  step requires a compiler with proper handling of namespaces,
	gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-3.0 can handle this. 
	Affected files: vdk/vdktextview.cc vdk/vdkdate.cc
        vdk/vdkcolorbrowser.cc vdk/text.cc vdk/rawobj.cc vdk/pixmaps.cc
        vdk/image.cc vdk/vdkprops.h vdk/vdkregex.h vdk/vdkstring.cc

	vdk/radiobtngroup.cc vdk/filedlg.cc vdk/combo.cc vdk/chart.cc
	vdk/FileDialog.cc vdk/messagebox.cc vdk/numentry.cc:

	* vdk/label.cc: 
	* vdk/evhandle.h: added #include <cstring>

	* testvdk/testvdk.cc: converted multi-line string to multi string lines
	
2001-05-25 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* dummy commit 

2001-05-22 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* entry.cc
	Modified SetText() to make it  utf8 compliant.

2001-05-14  Tim Lorenz  <tim@lorenz.nu>

	CLEANUP:
	* vdk/vdkcustom.cc (VDKObject::make_gtksigc_connection): removed 
	(no more needed here, see below)(affected files: several ;-)
	* vdk/vdkobj.cc: Removed deprecated Signals: OnKeyPress, OnKeyRelease
	* vdk/vdk.h: removed #include <vdkpacker.h>

	Begun to add support for gcc-3.0
	* added #include <string.h> to several files (needed for gcc 3.0)
	* configure.in: Added namespace to string and auto_ptr test
	(needed for gcc-3.0)
	* vdk/checkbutton.cc (SetForeground): added explicit cast
	(needed for gcc-3.0) same in vdk/spins.cc (SetForeground) and
	(SetBackground)
	* vdk/evhandle.h (ON_EVENT): removed g++-3.0 irritating prenthesis
	
2001-05-06 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	
CODE BREAK
--------
	* toolbar.cc/.h
	VDKToolbar properties:
	- Relief
	- Spacing
	- SpaceStyle
	are now themeable properties out of programmer control.
	Therefore even if mantained as void properties for backward compatibility,
	their use is deprecated and will be completely removed in future versions.
	- VDKToolbar::Borderless property, even if deprecated, is mantained operative. 
	However his setting may be overridden changing themes.
	* menus.cc/.h
	VDKMenubar::Shadow property is now themeable, so above considerations apply as well.
	
2001-04-25 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE BREAK
---------	
	* Removed gtkpacker widget wrapper
	
2001-04-10 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>

	* Gtk+ patched at line 2539 of gtkdnd.c:
	Event handler set to return always FALSE otherwise many widgets became insensitive.
	This gtk+ bug showed a more general and serious bug: returning TRUE from an event
	handler often blocks any further event propagation also in separated connections.
	This bug happened recently on cvs snapshot and 1.3.3 release. Previous snapshots and
	releases didn't show this error. Mailed a msg to gtk-list and made a report to bugzilla.
	* Changed all event handlers on vdk to return FALSE, this fixed many weird bugs and behaviours.
	
	
2001-03-28 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* VDKEditor.cc
	Added ctrl-1 as word completion keystroke. (ctrl-tab conflicts with kde defaults)
	
2001-03-24 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE BREAK
---------	
REMOVED	 * removed deprecated VDKLabelButton and VDKPixmapButton,
-------	 these widgets are substitued by VDKCustomButton

2001-03-04 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* VDKPixmap (deprecated)
---	Added a bool sensitive arg to constructors (defaults to false), if true pixmap will be
	embedded into an event box, in a normal box otherwise. Not sensitive means that the widget 
	won't react to any signal.
	Tips:
	- in insensitive mode an user that wants pixmap receiving signals should embedd 
	explicitely this widget into a 	VDKEventBox and connect signals to this one instead 
	pixmap directly.
	Tip:
	in insensitive mode to set a tip to a pixmap, embedd it into an event box and set the tip to 
	the event box instead.
	* VDKImage
	Same as above.
NEW	* VDKCustomButton
---	VDKPixmap (deprecated) substituted with a VDKImage.
	* VDKLabelButton and VDKPixmapButton marked as deprecated, will be cut on first vdk2 release.
	
2001-03-01 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdkeditor
	Modified SaveToFile() to avoid that 0xFFFC char that is used as image placeholder.
	
2001-02-28 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* combo.cc/.h
	Same as below for entry part of combobox widget.

2001-02-27 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* entry.cc/.h
	Added a data member "buffer" as VDKString.
	Deprecated gtk_entry_get_text() not more used to get Text property, 
	instead is used gtk_editable_get_chars() that loads buffer.
	Getting entry->Text property now returns (char*) buffer.
	** WARNING **
	Accessing to internal VDKString buffer violates OOP data hiding
	concept, user should make a copy of the returned buffer before
	make any modification.
	i.e.
	VDKString my_own_buffer = entry->Text;
	// safely modify:
	my_own_buffer += "tail";
	entry->Text = my_own_buffer; // is safe however
	
2001-02-16 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdkobj.cc
	Changed 
	static void VDKObject::VDKEventPipe()
	static void VDKObject::VDKEventUnitPipe()
	to
	static int VDKObject::VDKEventPipe() 
	static int VDKObject::VDKEventUnitPipe()
	as should be.
	
2001-02-15 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* vdk/notebook.cc,.h
---	Added a Child() function member to TabPage object that accesses to the object contained
	into a page.
	Usage:
	notebook->Pages[x]->Child()
	WARNING: since this method could break data hiding concept
	user should avoid manipulating received address or make it at his own risk.
	
2001-02-14 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* Added more examples to testvdk program.
	
2001-02-12 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* VDK 2.0 NOW BASED ON GTK CVS SNAPSHOTS
	----------------------------------------
	To closely track gtk 2.0 developing now vdk 2.0 is based on latest
	glib/pango/gtk+ cvs snapshot.
	Actually vdk 2.0 does not compile in gtk 1.3.2 and requires latest cvs snapshot.
	Gnome cvs instructions:
	a. first download
	$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
	$ cvs login
        (there is no password, just hit return)
	$ cvs -z3 checkout glib pango gtk+
	b. after initial checkout:
	$ cvs -z3 update glib pango gtk+

NEW	Implemented a nice source editor wrapping Mike Hamerson gtksourceview 0.0.2
WIDGET	(still on alpha), with syntax hilighting and other nice feautures
-----	such as word completion (ctrl-tab) , parent matching, etc.
	See testvdk.cc
CODE	* VDKText widget not more supported and removed from cvs tree,
BREAK	VDKTextView will replace removed widget.

	vdk/image.h vdk/image.cc
	testvdk/vitrurian.png
NEW	* New widgets:
WIDGET	- VDKRawPixbuf, wrapper of GdkPixbuff, should substitute VDKRawPixmap now deprecated
------	(more flexible since supports several graph file formats)
NEW	- VDKImage, wrapper of GtkImage should substitute VDKPixmap now deprecated
WIDGET	(more flexible since supports several graph file formats)
------	* Changed testvdk to support VDKImage test.

	dialogs. Api unchanged, some features extended with new
	modal modes. (see application.h)
	* canvas.cc
	Modified DrawString() and DrawText() to new font (pango) stuff.
	* chart.cc
	Modified text drawing for the same reasons as above.
	
	
2000-11-29 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>

BUG	* forms.cc
---	gboolean window_is_iconified (GdkWindow *window)
	disabled for now, returning always false.
	
2000-11-28  Tim Lorenz  <lorenz@extended.de>

	* sigcvdktest
	added directory, contains old test-programm and new one:
	props_test.cc (see below).

NEW	* vdk/vdkprops.h : Added a signal to property for notification
---	of property-changes. see next entry.
	Fixed Value: now returns the value as type S (not T as before).
	Furthermore Value is const now (pointer-types are automatically
	casted to const, someone should prove it with gcc < 2.95.2,
	see test-programm).

	* vdk/sigc_addon.h: introduced template DualSignal#, VDKSignal#
	is now a specialization from this. DualSignal is intended for
	use with signals in VDK..Prop-Template.

2000-11-26  Tim Lorenz  <lorenz@extended.de>

	* vdk/vdkprops.h (class VDKReadWriteValueProp ): made name in ctor
	const. Did the same for class VDKReadOnlyProp.

2000-11-26 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG	* VDKCustom (vdkcustom.cc, .h)
---	Setting AutoResize property to true sigsegv's
	for an unknown reason.
	Now AutoResize property is "false" by default.
	
2000-11-22 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* VDKText (text.cc,.h)
BUG	POSSIBLY A BUG on gtk+ 1.3.2:
---	- is difficult trap "realize" signal in a safe way using
	  both static and dynamics tables on this widget.
	- a possible work around is to use a lower call to 
	  gtk_signal_connect() and connect with a static function
	  that uses a static buffer on which file selection is stored
	  (inelegant but works).
	- however i have experienced that in most cases is not necessary
	  to connect with a realize signal provided that all font and colors
	  setting are made before adding the widget and file loading made 
	  after.
	Recall that this widget is near to be declared as "deprecated" and
	that will be substituted with new gtk_text based on 
	view-buffer-controller model.
	
NEW	* VDKFont (vdkfont.cc,.h)
---	Changed to support new Pango rendering library, backward 
	compatibility with GdkFont is mantained via (GdkFont*) 
	and AsGdkFont() operators, user should 	gdk_font_unref() 
	after use.
	ie:
	VDKFont* font = new VDKFont(this,"courier bold 12");
	GdkFont* gdkfont = font->AsGdkFont();
	//... use gdkfont
	gdk_font_unref(gdkfont);
	
CODE	Code breaks:
BREAK	-----------
-----	VDKFont::Height( char* s) instead VDKFont::Height(), computes
	an average string height.
	
	* VDKCustom (vdkcustom.cc,.h)
NEW	- SelectedBackground and SelectedForeground changed to be real
---	properties instead public members as they were.
	- UnselectedBackground and UnselectedForeground changed to real
	properties, instead public members as they were, their use is 
	deprecated however and reverts 	to setting colors as 
	NormalBackground and Foreground.
	
2000-11-21 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* Development of a new vdk test program begins
	after having ported ./example/hello and ./example/hello2 on
	vdk 2.0.0 (beta).
	
2000-11-20 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* development of VDK 2.0.0 (beta) based on gtk+ 1.3.2
	begins.
	Gtk+-1.3.2 is an unstable preview of what gtk+2.0 will be,
	porting to gtk+1.3.2 was relatively easy (still in progress),
	few changes was necessary to recompile vdk on new gtk+-1.3.2
	with an unchanged API, so no source code breaks with an
	exception on VDKFont now based on pango library, old VDKFont
	can't remain backward compatible even if with unchanged API.
	Application made with vdk 1.2. series should be source compatibles
	with vdk 2.0 (not binary compatibles however) provided that they
	do not use one of the vdk components based of non-stock gtk+ widgets
	that unfortunately we lost. 

	What we have lost switching to gtk+ 1.3.2:
	- gtkcombobutton
	Used on VDKCustomButton class which is now modified, 
	with API unchanged. I plan to ask to original author if it will
	support gtkcombobutton on new gtk+ version.
	
	- VDKFileTreeDialog
	Based on an old gtkdirtree widget. We won't recover it.
	
	- VDKDatabox
	Based on gtkdatabox, we will recover it if Ionutz has time to
	make the porting after having asked to his original author.
	
	- VDKGrid
	Based on gtksheet, it will be recovered since A.Feiguin assured me
	that he will port gtksheet also on gtk+ 2.0
	
	- VDKFileIconDialog
	Based on gtkiconfilesel, same as above.

	- VDKCoolbar and VDKCoolButton
	We won't recover them, was already "deprecated" on previous vdk 
	versions

	- VDKPanedForm and VDKScrolledForm
	As above, was deprecated.

	- VDKColorBrowser
	It depends on VDKGrid, it will be recovered.

	- VDKLabelToggleButton and VDKPixmapToggleButton
	Won't be recovered, was deprecated and substituted with 
	VDKCustomButtons. (Tim i guess you have to modify your sigc 
	test program).

2002-03-23 George Boutwell <gboutwel@praize.com>
WIN32	* Development on vdkwin32 (beta) project begins.
        Based on gtk+ 2.0 win32 & vdk 2.0.1 (current cvs):
	Gtk+-2.0 win32 should be considered more or less unstable port 
        of gtk+2.0 (*nix), porting to gtk+2.0 (win32) was fairly easy
        (still in progress), a few changes where necessary to recompile 
        vdk on gtk+-2.0 (win32).  Most of them had to do with the lack
	(or more precisely non-use) of an autoconf/automake environement.
        Added an lot of #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H...#endifs solve about 3/4
        compile problems.  Added an VDKWIN32 define to makefile.mingw to
        indicate in code vdkwin32 specifics.
	Currently the vdk library (both shared and static), testvdk, &
        testvdkstring code has been successfully compiled under win32 (WinNT 4.0)
	
2002-03-19 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	Version renamed to 2.0.1 for further develop and bug fixes.
	
2002-03-13 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	*** VDK 2.0.0  RELEASED ***
	
2002-03-08 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* written an example of VDKDrawArea usage into ./testvdk
	
2002-03-05 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	Added new widget: VDKDrawingArea that should substitute deprecated VDKCanvas.
___	However VDKcanvas isn't really deprecated, it will continue to be supported even if
	not more enhanced. Simply VDKDrawingArea is a better widget, much powerfull and easy to use.
	VDKDrawingArea is contained into vdkdrawarea.h/.cc files.
	
2002-02-20 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* canvas.cc .h
	Overridden VDKCanvas::SetFont() that now uses its own font (or default
	one if not set).
	This removes an old problem with canvas setting font into an expose_event response 
	function: VDKcanvas::SetFont() used VDKObject::SetFont() that modifies widget style 
	triggering an expose_event and an infinite loop if used into an expose_event response 
	function. Now resolved using font explicitely without interesting widget style.
	
2002-02-12 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE	* canvas.cc .h
BREAK	Made an huge clean up of received events.
----	Now events on canvas must be handled with dynamic signals table.
	Removed some properties:
	- Captured
	- EnableDrag
	
2002-01-19 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* Added VDKCalendar widget, wraps GtkCalendar (vdkcalendar.cc /.h)
---	Moved from builder plugins into vdk core library.

2002-01-17 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdktreeview.cc/.h
	Improuved VDKTreeView API
	
2001-12-31 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdk/vdktreeview.cc /.h
	- Added a VDKTreeViewModel iterator API
	- Added new properties and methods to VDKTreeView API
	* testvdk/treeviewcompo.cc
	* Changed to reflect API changes
	
2001-12-29 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* scrolled.cc/.h
---	Added BorderShadow property to VDKScrolled class
	
2001-12-23 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* value_sem_list.h / dlist.h
---	Added:
	-- decremental operator (both infix and postfix)
	- first(),last() operators.
	To VDKValueListIterator<> and VDKListIterator<> template classes
	
2001-12-17 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* vdktreeview.cc .h
---	Added VDKTreeView class and companions.
	This class wraps GtkTreeView widget.
	(incomplete)
	
2001-12-07 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE	* vdkprops.h
BREAK	Changed prop value internal assignement made after have calling
-----	setting function. In other words setting function finds prop value
	at old value when called.
	This avoid a subtle bug when is necessary to operate on old prop value
	into the setting function.
	*** Raw setting function calls are now deprecated. ***
	
2001-09-28 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* Added VDKInputChannel class
---	Thanks to Jonathan Hudson  <jonathan@daria.co.uk> .
	
2001-08-22 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE	* vdkcustom.cc
BREAK	SelectedForeground,Unselectedbackground,UnselectedForeground properties
-----	are now of VDKRgb type to mantain consistency with others color props.
	
2001-08-15 Tim Lorenz <tim@lorenz.nu>
	* Trivial Changes to let sigc-extension work with libsigc++-1.0.3
	under gcc-3.0
	* configure.in:
	Added AC_PREREQ(2.50)
	 
2001-08-15 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG FIX	* VDKCustom.cc/.h
------	Get rid of SelectedBackground property since it conflicts with
	VDKObject::SelectedBackground.
	Modified overridden SetBackGround
	* testvdk/testvdk.cc
	Modified to reflect above changes.
	(Bug reported by Tim)
	
2001-08-14 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG	* siglisthandle.h /evlisthandle.h
FIX	Got ride of VDKString in VDK dynamic signal tables.
---	(probably) due to a gcc 2.96.x compiler weirdness on
	const we experienced obscure seg faults during signal table scan.
	VDKString _VDK_Signal_Unit.signal and _VDK_Event_Unit.event 
	substituted with a plain char[]. Sigh :-(
	
2001-08-11 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG	* vdkclist.cc vdkctree.cc
FIX	Correctly initialized sigwid with gtk+ widget. This bug
---	didn't correctly SignalConnect() under some circustances.
	
2001-07-27 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* Added VDKThread class, a simple wrapper on posix threads.
___	Thanks to Salmaso Raffaele <r.salmaso@flashnet.it>
	that did it on 1999.
	
2001-07-04 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdk updated to latest cvs (gtk+ 1.3.7)
	* forms.cc
	GetPosition() changed to use gdk_window_root_origin() to fix a
	coordinate error.
	
2001-05-29  Tim Lorenz  <tim@marder.flotte>
	
	The Long Story of Constness:
	* vdk/vdkeditor.h (VDKEditor::MakeCompletition):
	made arg const
	* vdk/vdkedtior.cc (overlap): second arg is const now
	* vdk/vdkclist.h (class VDKCustomList::_update_pix): consted 
	(SelectionProp::Row): and (Selection::Col): are const methods now.
	(VDKCustomList::UpdateCell): arg s ist const-pointer now.
	* vdk/vdkcsortlist.h (VDKCustomSortedList::FindKey): 
	(VDKCustomSortedList::RemoveKey):
	(VDKCustomSortedList::UpdateCellKey): 
	(VDKCustomSortedList::UpdateKey):
	The key argument is declared const now (as passed to VDKString-Ctor)
	I did some more const changes but did not list them.

	Made type-converter operator of VDKRWProp a const method.
	
2001-05-28  Tim Lorenz  <tim@marder.flotte>
	Tales about const
	* testvdk/edcompo.cc:
	(ToggledSource): also operate on const pointer arg (just to be nice).
	Fixed mem. leak in abortive return (use of std::string would make life
	easier ;-)
	(EditorComponent::HasPage): add const qual. to local var. 'fn'

	* vdk/notebook.h (class VDKNotebook::AddPage): consted one arg 	
	* vdk/vdkcustombutton.h (VDKCustomButton::SetCaption):
	(VDKCustomButton::GetCaption): made string a const char* pointer
	(VDKCustomButton::Caption): 'value_type' now const char*
	(VDKCustomButton::VDKCustomButton()): label-arg is a const-pointer now
	* vdk/label.h (VDKLabel::Caption): 
	set second tpl. arg. to const char* -> VDKRWProp<VDKLabel,const char*>
	(VDKLabel::VDKLabel):  made label-argument const
	(VDKLabel::SetCaption): made argument a const pointer
	(VDKLabel::GetCaption): made return-value a const-pointer
	
	* vdk/notebook.h 
	(VDKNotebook::AddPage): 
	(VDKPage::AddPage): 
	added const-qualifier to signatur -> AddPage(VDKObj*, const char*,
	

	* testvdk/edcompo.cc:
	* vdk/siglisthandle.h: add #include <cstring> and thus use of namespace

2001-05-25  Tim Lorenz  <tim@marder.flotte>

	* several: Changed to include c++-versions of c-headers (like cstring 
	instead of string.h). 
	This  step requires a compiler with proper handling of namespaces,
	gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-3.0 can handle this. 
	Affected files: vdk/vdktextview.cc vdk/vdkdate.cc
        vdk/vdkcolorbrowser.cc vdk/text.cc vdk/rawobj.cc vdk/pixmaps.cc
        vdk/image.cc vdk/vdkprops.h vdk/vdkregex.h vdk/vdkstring.cc

	vdk/radiobtngroup.cc vdk/filedlg.cc vdk/combo.cc vdk/chart.cc
	vdk/FileDialog.cc vdk/messagebox.cc vdk/numentry.cc:

	* vdk/label.cc: 
	* vdk/evhandle.h: added #include <cstring>

	* testvdk/testvdk.cc: converted multi-line string to multi string lines
	
2001-05-25 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* dummy commit 

2001-05-22 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* entry.cc
	Modified SetText() to make it  utf8 compliant.

2001-05-14  Tim Lorenz  <tim@lorenz.nu>

	CLEANUP:
	* vdk/vdkcustom.cc (VDKObject::make_gtksigc_connection): removed 
	(no more needed here, see below)(affected files: several ;-)
	* vdk/vdkobj.cc: Removed deprecated Signals: OnKeyPress, OnKeyRelease
	* vdk/vdk.h: removed #include <vdkpacker.h>
	
	GCC-3.0:
	Begun to add support for gcc-3.0
	* added #include <string.h> to several files (needed for gcc 3.0)
	* configure.in: Added namespace to string and auto_ptr test
	(needed for gcc-3.0)
	* vdk/checkbutton.cc (SetForeground): added explicit cast
	(needed for gcc-3.0) same in vdk/spins.cc (SetForeground) and
	(SetBackground)
	* vdk/evhandle.h (ON_EVENT): removed g++-3.0 irritating prenthesis
	
2001-05-06 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	
CODE BREAK
--------
	* toolbar.cc/.h
	VDKToolbar properties:
	- Relief
	- Spacing
	- SpaceStyle
	are now themeable properties out of programmer control.
	Therefore even if mantained as void properties for backward compatibility,
	their use is deprecated and will be completely removed in future versions.
	- VDKToolbar::Borderless property, even if deprecated, is mantained operative. 
	However his setting may be overridden changing themes.
	* menus.cc/.h
	VDKMenubar::Shadow property is now themeable, so above considerations apply as well.
	
2001-04-25 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE BREAK
---------	
	* Removed gtkpacker widget wrapper
	
2001-04-10 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>

	* Gtk+ patched at line 2539 of gtkdnd.c:
	Event handler set to return always FALSE otherwise many widgets became insensitive.
	This gtk+ bug showed a more general and serious bug: returning TRUE from an event
	handler often blocks any further event propagation also in separated connections.
	This bug happened recently on cvs snapshot and 1.3.3 release. Previous snapshots and
	releases didn't show this error. Mailed a msg to gtk-list and made a report to bugzilla.
	* Changed all event handlers on vdk to return FALSE, this fixed many weird bugs and behaviours.
	
	
2001-03-28 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* VDKEditor.cc
	Added ctrl-1 as word completion keystroke. (ctrl-tab conflicts with kde defaults)
	
2001-03-24 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
CODE BREAK
---------	
REMOVED	 * removed deprecated VDKLabelButton and VDKPixmapButton,
-------	 these widgets are substitued by VDKCustomButton

2001-03-04 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* VDKPixmap (deprecated)
---	Added a bool sensitive arg to constructors (defaults to false), if true pixmap will be
	embedded into an event box, in a normal box otherwise. Not sensitive means that the widget 
	won't react to any signal.
	Tips:
	- in insensitive mode an user that wants pixmap receiving signals should embedd 
	explicitely this widget into a 	VDKEventBox and connect signals to this one instead 
	pixmap directly.
	Tip:
	in insensitive mode to set a tip to a pixmap, embedd it into an event box and set the tip to 
	the event box instead.
	* VDKImage
	Same as above.
NEW	* VDKCustomButton
---	VDKPixmap (deprecated) substituted with a VDKImage.
	* VDKLabelButton and VDKPixmapButton marked as deprecated, will be cut on first vdk2 release.
	
2001-03-01 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdkeditor
	Modified SaveToFile() to avoid that 0xFFFC char that is used as image placeholder.
	
2001-02-28 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* combo.cc/.h
	Same as below for entry part of combobox widget.

2001-02-27 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* entry.cc/.h
	Added a data member "buffer" as VDKString.
	Deprecated gtk_entry_get_text() not more used to get Text property, 
	instead is used gtk_editable_get_chars() that loads buffer.
	Getting entry->Text property now returns (char*) buffer.
	** WARNING **
	Accessing to internal VDKString buffer violates OOP data hiding
	concept, user should make a copy of the returned buffer before
	make any modification.
	i.e.
	VDKString my_own_buffer = entry->Text;
	// safely modify:
	my_own_buffer += "tail";
	entry->Text = my_own_buffer; // is safe however
	
2001-02-16 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdkobj.cc
	Changed 
	static void VDKObject::VDKEventPipe()
	static void VDKObject::VDKEventUnitPipe()
	to
	static int VDKObject::VDKEventPipe() 
	static int VDKObject::VDKEventUnitPipe()
	as should be.
	
2001-02-15 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* vdk/notebook.cc,.h
---	Added a Child() function member to TabPage object that accesses to the object contained
	into a page.
	Usage:
	notebook->Pages[x]->Child()
	WARNING: since this method could break data hiding concept
	user should avoid manipulating received address or make it at his own risk.
	
2001-02-14 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* Added more examples to testvdk program.
	
2001-02-12 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* VDK 2.0 NOW BASED ON GTK CVS SNAPSHOTS
	----------------------------------------
	To closely track gtk 2.0 developing now vdk 2.0 is based on latest
	glib/pango/gtk+ cvs snapshot.
	Actually vdk 2.0 does not compile in gtk 1.3.2 and requires latest cvs snapshot.
	Gnome cvs instructions:
	a. first download
	$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
	$ cvs login
        (there is no password, just hit return)
	$ cvs -z3 checkout glib pango gtk+
	b. after initial checkout:
	$ cvs -z3 update glib pango gtk+
	
2001-02-12 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* Added: 
	vdk/vdkeditor.h vdk/vdkeditor.cc
	testvdk/tokens.db
NEW	Implemented a nice source editor wrapping Mike Hamerson gtksourceview 0.0.2
WIDGET	(still on alpha), with syntax hilighting and other nice feautures
-----	such as word completion (ctrl-tab) , parent matching, etc.
	See testvdk.cc
CODE	* VDKText widget not more supported and removed from cvs tree,
BREAK	VDKTextView will replace removed widget.
-----	
2001-02-11 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* vdkobj.cc
	VDKObject::Destroy() revisited and hopefully simplified.
2001-02-04 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* Added:
	vdk/rawpixbuf.h vdk/rwapixbuf.cc
	vdk/image.h vdk/image.cc
	testvdk/vitrurian.png
NEW	* New widgets:
WIDGET	- VDKRawPixbuf, wrapper of GdkPixbuff, should substitute VDKRawPixmap now deprecated
------	(more flexible since supports several graph file formats)
NEW	- VDKImage, wrapper of GtkImage should substitute VDKPixmap now deprecated
WIDGET	(more flexible since supports several graph file formats)
------	* Changed testvdk to support VDKImage test.

2001-01-24 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* Added:
	vdk/vdktextview.h vdk/vdktextview.cc (wrapper of GtkTextView)
	
NEW	Implemented VDKTextView a gtktextview wrapper that would substitute
WIDGET	deprecated and buggy VDKText.

2000-12-24 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* dummy commit, cvs transferred to new amd athlon machine
	
2000-12-09 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* VDKTimer
---	Added a "TickTime" property that permits to change
	timer granularity on the fly.
	Suggested by a request from: wslu <wslu@263.net>
	
2000-12-05 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
NEW	* application.cc
---	VDKApplication::MessageBox() now uses default gtk+
	dialogs. Api unchanged, some features extended with new
	modal modes. (see application.h)
	* canvas.cc
	Modified DrawString() and DrawText() to new font (pango) stuff.
	* chart.cc
	Modified text drawing for the same reasons as above.
	
	
2000-11-29 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>

BUG	* forms.cc
---	gboolean window_is_iconified (GdkWindow *window)
	disabled for now, returning always false.
	
2000-11-28  Tim Lorenz  <lorenz@extended.de>

	* sigcvdktest
	added directory, contains old test-programm and new one:
	props_test.cc (see below).

NEW	* vdk/vdkprops.h : Added a signal to property for notification
---	of property-changes. see next entry.
	Fixed Value: now returns the value as type S (not T as before).
	Furthermore Value is const now (pointer-types are automatically
	casted to const, someone should prove it with gcc < 2.95.2,
	see test-programm).

	* vdk/sigc_addon.h: introduced template DualSignal#, VDKSignal#
	is now a specialization from this. DualSignal is intended for
	use with signals in VDK..Prop-Template.

2000-11-26  Tim Lorenz  <lorenz@extended.de>

	* vdk/vdkprops.h (class VDKReadWriteValueProp ): made name in ctor
	const. Did the same for class VDKReadOnlyProp.

2000-11-26 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
BUG	* VDKCustom (vdkcustom.cc, .h)
---	Setting AutoResize property to true sigsegv's
	for an unknown reason.
	Now AutoResize property is "false" by default.

	* VDKText (text.cc,.h)
BUG	POSSIBLY A BUG on gtk+ 1.3.2:
---	- is difficult trap "realize" signal in a safe way using
	  both static and dynamics tables on this widget.
	- a possible work around is to use a lower call to 
	  gtk_signal_connect() and connect with a static function
	  that uses a static buffer on which file selection is stored
	  (inelegant but works).
	- however i have experienced that in most cases is not necessary
	  to connect with a realize signal provided that all font and colors
	  setting are made before adding the widget and file loading made 
	  after.
	Recall that this widget is near to be declared as "deprecated" and
	that will be substituted with new gtk_text based on 
	view-buffer-controller model.
	
NEW	* VDKFont (vdkfont.cc,.h)
---	Changed to support new Pango rendering library, backward 
	compatibility with GdkFont is mantained via (GdkFont*) 
	and AsGdkFont() operators, user should 	gdk_font_unref() 
	after use.
	ie:
	VDKFont* font = new VDKFont(this,"courier bold 12");
	GdkFont* gdkfont = font->AsGdkFont();
	//... use gdkfont
	gdk_font_unref(gdkfont);
	
CODE	Code breaks:
BREAK	-----------
-----	VDKFont::Height( char* s) instead VDKFont::Height(), computes
	an average string height.
	
	* VDKCustom (vdkcustom.cc,.h)
NEW	- SelectedBackground and SelectedForeground changed to be real
---	properties instead public members as they were.
	- UnselectedBackground and UnselectedForeground changed to real
	properties, instead public members as they were, their use is 
	deprecated however and reverts 	to setting colors as 
	NormalBackground and Foreground.

	* Development of a new vdk test program begins
	after having ported ./example/hello and ./example/hello2 on
	vdk 2.0.0 (beta).
	
2000-11-20 Motta Mario <mmotta@guest.net>
	* development of VDK 2.0.0 (beta) based on gtk+ 1.3.2
	begins.
	Gtk+-1.3.2 is an unstable preview of what gtk+2.0 will be,
	porting to gtk+1.3.2 was relatively easy (still in progress),
	few changes was necessary to recompile vdk on new gtk+-1.3.2
	with an unchanged API, so no source code breaks with an
	exception on VDKFont now based on pango library, old VDKFont
	can't remain backward compatible even if with unchanged API.
	Application made with vdk 1.2. series should be source compatibles
	with vdk 2.0 (not binary compatibles however) provided that they
	do not use one of the vdk components based of non-stock gtk+ widgets
	that unfortunately we lost. 

	What we have lost switching to gtk+ 1.3.2:
	- gtkcombobutton
	Used on VDKCustomButton class which is now modified, 
	with API unchanged. I plan to ask to original author if it will
	support gtkcombobutton on new gtk+ version.
	
	- VDKFileTreeDialog
	Based on an old gtkdirtree widget. We won't recover it.
	
	- VDKDatabox
	Based on gtkdatabox, we will recover it if Ionutz has time to
	make the porting after having asked to his original author.
	
	- VDKGrid
	Based on gtksheet, it will be recovered since A.Feiguin assured me
	that he will port gtksheet also on gtk+ 2.0
	
	- VDKFileIconDialog
	Based on gtkiconfilesel, same as above.

	- VDKCoolbar and VDKCoolButton
	We won't recover them, was already "deprecated" on previous vdk 
	versions

	- VDKPanedForm and VDKScrolledForm
	As above, was deprecated.

	- VDKColorBrowser
	It depends on VDKGrid, it will be recovered.

	- VDKLabelToggleButton and VDKPixmapToggleButton
	Won't be recovered, was deprecated and substituted with 
	VDKCustomButtons. (Tim i guess you have to modify your sigc 
	test program).
