Comunidad Gambas-es

Hi,

I release a new version of gambas 2. It was a long time since the 2.21
release, and so there are a lot of bug fixes.

Now I'm developing on Ubuntu, so please test the source package, and tell me
if you encounter any problem.

You may notice that the package is bigger than the old ones made on Mandriva.
I have no idea why!

Here is the full changelog:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CONFIGURATION]
* BUG: Detect x86_64 architecture better.
* BUG: Compile correctly on Ubuntu 10.10.
* NEW: Add AC_PROG_LIBTOOL in root configure.ac file.
* NEW: Check for missing mathematical function directly instead of relying
on operating system detection.
* NEW: Remove useless install-sh links.

[DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT]
* BUG: A "=" character was missing in the menu file generated by the
Debian/Ubuntu packager.

* BUG: Fix two incorrect optional function declarations.

[COMPILER]

[ARCHIVER]

* BUG: Correctly handle tristate Checkbox controls.
* BUG: Fix the behaviour of ComboBox when setting the List and the ReadOnly
property, and the order used for saving ComboBox properties in the *.form
file.
* BUG: Popup menus now work correctly on tray icons in all cases.
* BUG: Make TabStrip behave like in gb.qt when inserting a new tab.
* BUG: TabStrip now uses its own window, so that it is not partially
visible when covering other widgets.

item icon is changed.
* BUG: Read-only ComboBox controls do not lost focus events anymore.
* BUG: Correctly free menu tags.

the order used for saving ComboBox properties in the *.form file.
* BUG: Don't raise events while setting the ComboBox.List property.
* BUG: Fix the properties order. Only the ComboBox ReadOnly property must

combo-box is hidden, it correctly loses the focus.
* BUG: Do not propagate Drop events when there is a drop event handler.

[GB.SDL.SOUND]
* BUG: Fix segfaulting when moving the position of a mp3 music. Adding a
delay of 10ms when rewinding the music seem to fix the problem that look
like a threading issue in SDLmixer.
