>
> This releases mainly tries to fix the packager, but there are some bug
> fixes and new features related to the bug fixes too.
>
> Here is a summary of the changes in the packager:
>
> - The packager now uses the current Gambas major & minor version as
> minimum version for component dependencies.
>
> - If a project uses gb.gui, then the packager will create two extra
> meta-packages: one for Qt4 support, the other for GTK+ support.
>
> The Qt4 meta-package depends on the application package and the gb.qt4
> binary package. The GTK+ meta-package depends on the application package
> and the gb.gtk binary package.
>
> If OpenGL is used, the corresponding GUI opengl support packages
> (gb.qt4.opengl and gb.gtk.opengl) are added to the dependencies.
>
> - The Ubuntu package naming convention is respected: i.e. there is the
> "ubuntu" string in the package name.
>
> - The 'gb.desktop.gnome' component is now visible and explicitely
> checkable, so that it becomes an explicit dependency when creating a
> binary package with the packager.
>
> - You can specify the package version number: this must be used when you
> make and deliver several different packages of the same software release.
>
> Here are the new features:
>
> - Enum.Stopped is a new property that returns if the current enumeration
> has been stopped.
>
> - OPEN STRING is a new instruction that allows to use a string as a
> stream. Writing to it appends the written data to the end of the string
> at the moment.
>
> - Closing a string stream returns the data written to the stream as a
> new string.
>
> - WRITE behaves the same way as READ on a memory stream, when dealing
> with a string: it writes a null-terminated "C" string.
>
> - OPEN MEMORY and OPEN PIPE are synonymous of the MEMORY and PIPE
> instructions alone.
>
> - FileChooser now has support for uncompressing 'zip' files, provided
> that the 'zip' utility is installed on the system.
>
> - If 'gb.gui' cannot load a GUI component, it tries the other one. If
> nothing works, it aborts.
>
> - The default SDL font file is renamed as "_default.ttf" to prevent
> packaging conflicts.
>
> - JSON.Decode() now takes an extra optional argument indicating that
> keys having a null value are taken into account inside objects.
>
> - JSONCollection is a new class that represents a JSON object whose some
> keys are associated with a 'null' value.
>
> Please test it and report! Let's make 3.5.1 a quiet release. :-)
