[Gambas-user] Release of Gambas 2.22

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

I release a new version of Gambas 2. It was a long time since the 2.21 
release, and so there are a lot of bug fixes.

Now I'm developing on Ubuntu, so please test the source package, and tell me 
if you encounter any problem.

You may notice that the package is bigger than the old ones made on Mandriva. 
I have no idea why!

Here is the full changelog:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CONFIGURATION]
* BUG: Detect x86_64 architecture better.
* BUG: Compile correctly on Ubuntu 10.10.
* NEW: Add AC_PROG_LIBTOOL in root configure.ac file.
* NEW: Check for missing mathematical function directly instead of relying 
  on operating system detection.
* NEW: Remove useless install-sh links.

[DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT]
* BUG: A "=" character was missing in the menu file generated by the
  Debian/Ubuntu packager.
* NEW: Don't save the Url in the project file if it is equal to the default
  URL http://www.endoftheinternet.com
* NEW: Greek translation updated by Demosthenes Koptsis.

[DATABASE MANAGER]

  arguments.

* BUG: Fix two incorrect optional function declarations.

[COMPILER]

[ARCHIVER]

  executable archives. That prevents a possible endless growing generated
  file.

  property, and the order used for saving ComboBox properties in the *.form
  file.
* BUG: Popup menus now work correctly on tray icons in all cases.
* BUG: Make TabStrip behave like in gb.qt when inserting a new tab.
* BUG: TabStrip now uses its own window, so that it is not partially
  visible when covering other widgets.
* BUG: ColumnView, TreeView and ListView are correctly refreshed when an
  item icon is changed.

  TextBox or TextArea contents inside the same application.

  controls anymore.

  anymore.

[GB.SDL.SOUND]
* BUG: Fix segfaulting when moving the position of a mp3 music. Adding a 
  delay of 10ms when rewinding the music seem to fix the problem that look 
  like a threading issue in SDLmixer.
