* BUG: Use TextEdit.RichText insted of TextEdit.Text.
* BUG: END SUB can be the end of a method. The class analyze now takes 
  that into account.

[HELP]
* BUG: Fixed the generated treeview.

[COMPILER]
* OPT: The NOT operator used just at the beginning of a conditional 
  expression is optimized. Consequently, an expression like 'IF NOT 2' is 
  now equivalent to 'IF 2 = 0' and not to 'IF (NOT 2) <> 0' as before. In
  other words, the boolean conversion is now done before the NOT, and not 
  after. The following instructions are concerned: IF, WHILE, UNTIL.
* NEW: BYREF is new keyword that is a more readable synonymous of '@'.

[GB.DB.FORM]
* BUG: Correctly manage data controls inside TabStrip-like containers.
* BUG: Setting the focus on a non-initialized DataControl does not raise 
  an error anymore.

[GB.GTK]
* BUG: HSplitter.Layout and VSplitter.Layout now work correctly. It is a 
  list of children widths, hidden children having a zero width.
* BUG: Window arrangement is done before the Open event is raised, as in 
  gb.qt.
* BUG: Keyboard, focus and mouse events now work correctly on Window and 
  DrawingArea controls.

[GB.QT]
* BUG: HSplitter.Layout and VSplitter.Layout now work correctly. It is a 
  list of children widths, hidden children having a zero width.
* BUG: Many warning fixes.
* BUG: Now the Control.Visible property works like in gb.gtk, i.e. it 
  returns if the control was not explicitely hidden.

WELCOME TO GAMBAS!

GAMBAS is a free implementation of a graphical development
environment based on a BASIC interpreter. It is very
inspired by Visual Basic and Java.

And you must install all related development packages. 

Try to always use a recent version of these libraries.

You must of course install the GCC compiler.

You must compile gb.qt and gb.qt.ext components to have a working development
environment.

Qt 3.2 is now required because of one Qt function that was missing in older
versions of Qt. Gambas will compile with Qt 3.1, but the function Picture.Copy()
will fail in some case. Gambas does not compile with previous versions of Qt. 

You must have the right to write to /tmp, otherwise Gambas will not work. 

This package was done with the following versions of GNU tools: 
 - automake 1.9.4 
 - autoconf 2.59 
 - libtool 1.5.12 (this tool is not required as it is included in the package) 

Each sub-directory of this source package is actually independent. You can 
configure, make and install each of them independently.

 
** DISTRIBUTION SPECIFIC PROBLEMS

Read the README.REDHAT or README.FEDORA files.


** HOW TO COMPILE GAMBAS ?

1) First, check that you installed all the needed development packages

2) When done, type the following magic sentences in a shell.
   '#' represents your shell prompt, and "..." are the
   messages printed during the configuration and compilation.

  This command analyzes the system and configure the package:

     # ./configure -C
     ...

   This command compiles the programs:

     # make
     ...

   And finally this command installs everything:

     # su -c "make install"
     Password: <Type the root password here>
     ...

   If something fails during this process, try to type the
   following command before ./configure :

     # ./reconf

   If it does not work, I need to know what happened exactly.
   To do so, type the following command :

     # ( ./configure; make; make install ) > output.txt 2>&1

   And send me the file "output.txt" by mail, with every other
   detail about your computer and your distribution you find
   useful.

3) If everything was fine, type "gambas2" to run the development
   environment. There are a few examples in the "examples"
   directory.

4) There are more 'configure' specific explanations in the "INSTALL" file.
   I invite you to read them.

Enjoy it !

Benoît.
