[Gambas-user] Release of Gambas 2.17

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

Here is a new release of the stable version of Gambas.

Beside the usual bug fixes, Gambas now runs on ARM architectures, which is a 
good thing, as it will allow to develop Gambas applications on smartphones and 
other devices using Linux/ARM. If anybody succeeds in such a thing, please 
tell us!

Otherwise, Alexandros Prekates did a Greek translation of Gambas. And gb.gtk 
should now behave the same way as gb.qt when raising mouse, keyboard and focus 
events.

Here is the full ChangeLog:
