New release (was: Build fails on SuSE 8.1)

[Torbjörn Lager]

Hi All,

Will the "uniform state proposal" (where @ and := are used for getting 
and setting values of cells and attributes, etc.) be implemented in the 
planned new release?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm planning a course using the van Roy % 
Haridi book. The book is using the new syntax, so it would be nice if 
the implementation also did. ON THE OTHER HAND, if the new syntax 
introduces backward compatibility problems, e.g. by breaking code in the 
Mogul or in other libraries, then I'm not so sure I would want the 
change to take effect so soon... If necessary, I'm prepared to make the 
necessary changes to the stuff that I myself have placed in the Mogul 
right away, but I suspect that not everyone is...

And hey, what happened to the GTK stuff? Will that be part of the new 
release? (Not important, I'm just curious...)

Regards,
Torbjörn
