|
| Guichan on Gitorious
|
| 2009-06-10
|
| The Guichan source is now found on http:///guichan
where we use Git as our version control system. It has never been
easier to contribute code to Guichan, just clone our repository and
start coding!
|
| Sorry for the forum downtime!
|
| 2008-09-27
|
| Due to a big change in Sourceforge's setup our forum, as well as
the login function for this wiki, has been down for a couple of days. We
apologize for the downtime. Hopefully everything will run smoothly from
now on.
Many thanks go to ACDS2 for helping getting our forum back online!
|
| Guichan 0.8.1 released!
|
| 2008-04-26
|
| This is a minor release and fixes a soname problem and addresses a
couple of GCC 3.4.2 issues. Add ons are now also called contribs and can
be found in the main API.
The latest Guichan release can be found in the Downloads section.
|
| Guichan 0.8.0 released!
|
| 2008-04-06
|
| The new version of Guichan contains two new widgets for creating
tabs, the TabbedArea widget and the Tab widget. The support for HGE has
been improved along with the API documentation. Also, new listeners have
been added such as the WidgetListener used for listening for changes
from widgets (such as visibility) and the SelectionListener for
listening for selections. As always a number of bugs have been fixed.
Perhaps a little bit more interesting is that the demos needed no
changes to work out of the box with the 0.8.0 release. Finally the API
is actually stabilising.
The latest Guichan release can be found in the Downloads section.

| Slackware 12.0 package for Guichan 0.7.1 available
|
| 2007-12-25
|
| Platyna made a Slackware 12.0 package for Guichan 0.7.1 that is available for download in the Downloads section.
Thanks Platyna!
|
| Guichan 0.7.1 released!
|
| 2007-07-11
|
| The last release lacked to source for the add ons, the HGE support
and the OpenLayer support. In the 0.7.1 release the source has been
included.
The latest Guichan release can be found in the Downloads section.
|
| Guichan 0.7.0 released!
|
| 2007-06-30
|
| The new version of Guichan contains support for the library
OpenLayer and experimental support for the library HGE. As users have
had many problems related to binary incompatibility with DLLs we are not
going to provide pre-compiled binaries anymore. From now on users are
encourage to compile Guichan themselves either by making DLLs and
library files or by simply including the source of Guichan in to the
project using Guichan.
As usual there is a complete Change log and the latest Guichan release can be downloaded in the Downloads section.
|
| Website wiki powered
|
| 2007-03-18
|
| We changed our website today to be wiki powered by WikiMedia.
Anyone who registers will be able to edit most parts of this website. We
hope this will encourage our community to take part in the process of
writing documentation for Guichan.
|
| Guichan now uses subversion and a new mailing list has been added
|
| 2007-01-25
|
| As of today Guichan uses subversion as it's version control. With
the migration to subversion a new mailing list has been added, the
guichan-svn r list. Add yourself as a subscriber if you want to receive
notifications about SVN commits.
|
| Guichan 0.6.1 released!
|
| 2007-01-23
|
| This is a very minor release which fixes inclusion of OpenGL
headers on Macintosh and removes a couple of unnecessary container
functions from Widget.
A complete change log can found here and as usual the demos have been
updated to work with the latest Guichan version and all downloads are
found in the downloads section.
|
| Guichan 0.6.0 released!
|
| 2007-01-14
|
| This release comes with a major update, events are now present in
Guichan. With the events Guichan has changed the way input is handled.
You can read all about events and how input is distributed in the event
document.
As of Guichan 0.6.0, among all MSVC versions only MSVC version 8 is
supported. Guichan should still compile with older versions but binaries
are not supplied any longer. For all of you with an older MSVC version
who are thinking about updating I can suggest downloading the free
Visual Studio Express.
To make it easier to migrate from the previous version, 0.5.0, a migration document has been compiled.
A complete change log can found here and as usual the demos have
been updated to work with the latest Guichan version and all downloads
are found in the downloads section.
|
| New site design
|
| 2006-10-31
|
| To inspire the dev-team (and others as well) to make documentation
for Guichan we have made a total new site design. We hope you enjoy it.
If you have any suggestions for improvements please feel free to make a
post in our forum.

| XMLGuichan repository
|
| 2006-10-28
|
| Quard, the author of XMLGuichan, informs that he has recently moved his project to Google code. It can now be found here.
|
| Guichan 0.5.0 for VC8 has been added to the releases
|
| 2006-08-19
|
| As some of you have noticed, Microsoft don't have compatibility
between different versions of VC. Thanks to quard Guichan can now be
downloaded for VC 8. With the newly added release, the old windows
releases have changed name in order to keep consistency with the naming
of files.
|
| Version 0.5.0 released!
|
| 2006-07-29
|
| It's been a while since the last release, and much has changed
(maybe this release even should be named 0.6.0...). Among all the
changes there are two major improvements. The way Guichan handles images
has been changed, it should now be easier to extend Guichan with new
backends handling graphics. The container interface has been changed, it
should now be easier to make new container widgets. As usual, many
small improvements from the community have been added as well as many
bug fixes.
To learn about the new image interface we strongly suggest users of
Guichan to look at the updated examples in the source package.
As of this release DevPaks and binaries for MSVC 6 are not
supported. The reasons for these decisions are the following: DevPaks
simply don't work as the DevPaks available in the community aren't very
well updated, if we were to supply DevPaks we would have to not state
any dependencies which makes DevPak almost equal to a MinGW package;
MSVC 6 is very old and outdated, and supporting MSVC 6 as well as MSVC 7
and above means a lot of extra work as the binaries produced by them
aren't compatible with each other. If you need MSVC 6 binaries you'll
have to compile them yourself from now on.
|
| Mailing lists for Guichan users and Guichan developers
|
| 2006-06-11
|
| To speed up the development process and the time it take takes to
get a response when having problems with Guichan we now have two mailing
lists. They are the guichan-devs list and the guichan-users list.

things we didn't have time to include in the 0.2.0 release. Also a new
widget, the window widget, joins the Guichan widget family. See the
ChangeLog for further details on changes. To celebrate the joining of
window, the sdlwidgets screenshot is updated with, you guessed it, a
window!
|
| Hello SourceForge!
|
| 2005-02-19
|
| As you might have noticed, Guichan is now hosted by SourceForge.
Hopefully, this will improve accessibility and availability. We are now
waiting for the SourceForge staff to migrate our old CVS repository to
SourceForge, and then everything will get back to normal.

|
| Version 0.2.0 released!
|
| 2004-12-17
|
| Here comes a new version of Guichan! This could be seen as a "half
release" of sorts, there were some things we would have liked to put in
this release, but didn't. We felt it was more important to get a new
version out before Christmas, as a lot of bugs had been fixed. See the
ChangeLog for further details.
Big thanks goes to Thorbj?rn Lindeijer and the rest of the "The Mana
World"-team for helping in finding bugs, and suggesting API improvements
(that you probably will see implemented in 0.3.0)
Gui-chan wishes everyone happy holidays. She also announces that
Olof and Per will take a few weeks break from programming while they
visit their folks at home to eat themselves fat on free food before the
next semester starts.

|
| Daily CVS snapshot download available for testing
|
| 2004-11-15
|
| As of today, our server makes a daily CVS snapshot at midnight
(local time GMT+1) of the Guichan repository. It can be broken any time,
but it might be fun to peek at new features of Guichan like our new
border support. The snapshot can be found in the downloads section.
|
| Forum problems fixed and a new font
|
| 2004-10-26
|
| A problem with MySQL broke the forum, it is now fixed, or at least
we hope so. Also, Terin has submitted a nice font for our ImageFont
collection.

|
| 2004-09-24
|
| I have just added an ImageFont tutorial, hopefully it will clear some questions regarding the ImageFont image format.
We plan to release a new version of Guichan really soon with some
major updates. I wouldn't be surprised if it's up for download by this
time tomorrow.
