About Gtk#:

Gtk# is C# language binding for the Gtk+ Graphical User Interface
toolkit.  Well, that's understating it a bit.  It's really a set of
classes in IL assemblies which can be accessed by any .Net compatible
language.  To this date, Gtk# has been seen in the wild under the
control of C# and LOGO code. People are now starting to do significant
things with Gtk#, but it is still largely unproven and not recommended
for production work.

Changes since 0.1:

- Linux Hosting : Gtk# now builds and runs on linux, in addition to
building on win32.  Thanks to Joe Shaw for numerous Gtk# linux build
fixes, in addition to taking the reigns on mono/mcs bug reporting, and
thanks to the mono team for fixing the bugs.
- GValue binding and property support via the new glue lib: MK
- Build System enhancements: Joe Shaw, Rachel Hestilow, Michael Meeks,
and MK.
- Customization support: MK, Rachel
- New Menu Sample app: MK
- Refactoring of the code generator: MK, Rachel
