[Caml-list] [Announce] LablTk 8.06.0 and LablGTK 2.18.2

[Jacques Garrigue]

Dear Camlers,

This is a combined announce for new versions of LablTk and LablGTK.

LablTk is an interface for the Tcl/Tk GUI toolkit, which allows you to
build user interfaces very fast. It comes with the OCamlBrowser
library explorer, which is not only a good demonstration of the
power of LablTk, but also a useful companion in your everyday
program development.

Until ocaml-4.01, LablTk and OCamlBrowser were part of the
standard distribution, but they were spun off to simplify maintenance.
This new release contains a few bug fixes, and an upgrade of
OCamlBrowser for OCaml 4.02 (as a result, ocamlbrowser will
not compile on older versions).

LablGTK is an interface for the Gtk+ toolkit, version 2. It also
wraps many extensions, such as libglade, for rapid prototyping,
or gtksourceview2, for programming editors.

This is a bug fix release.

Both libraries should also soon be available on opam.
