Goocanvas 0.4 is Out

Damon has a shiny new release for us with a nice new item-view hash table that makes it much easier to deal with the MVC separation, lots of bug fixes and support for advanced cairo drawing styles. He’s also started a mailing list.

Check it all out at the new goocanvas sf.net project.

And to go along with it, Gian and Gustavo are releasing a fresh tarball of pygoocanvas later today.

For those of you itching to try out GstEditor, this gets us one step closer to something that’s easily installed. We’ve also got some queries out asking for some help with Ubuntu and other distro packages.

Bad Influences

Well, they are non-free anyway.  But here's a few apps that may provide some ideas for where the GstEditor could go in the future:

Quartz Composer 

Max/MSP

Buzz

Isadora 

I'd love to hear any other non-free apps that may be worth looking at for ideas.
