[Mono-dev] Gtk# 2.12.8 and Gtk# for .Net installer released

[Mike Kestner]

Announcing the release of Gtk# version 2.12.8.  This is a bugfix release
of bindings for the 2.12 API of Gtk+.  Tarball is available for download
from:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk-sharp/2.12/gtk-sharp-2.12.8.tar.gz

We are also announcing the simultaneous release of a new Gtk# for .Net
installer:

http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/gtk-sharp/gtk-sharp-2.12.8-1.win32.msi

This installer fixes several issues with the previous release, including
Mono.Cairo.dll reference key mismatches, missing 2.10 policy assemblies,
missing key to detect installed runtime version, and failure to run
pixbuf-loader setup script on vista.  

We appreciate everyone's patience as we've transition the maintenance of
this installer upstream.  Thanks also to all those who filed bug reports
and acted as guinea-pigs as we worked through the issues.

Beginning with this installer, we have integrated the VS.net development
support key registrations into the previous runtime installer and are
discontinuing the practice of releasing side-by-side Runtime and SDK
installers.  The SDK installer contained mainly C development files and
at 31MB was a very large download just to get a few keys added to your
Registry if you weren't interested in C development.  The current
installer gives you all you need for both runtime and managed
development in a lightweight 8MB package.

Any issues found with this release can be reported to the usual places,
either in bugzilla.novell.com module gtk#, or
gtk-sharp-list at lists.ximian.com for discussion.
