Matthew Allum asked me to maintain the Clutter Vala bindings on the clutter repository and today we just moved the code and I added the test case for the actors to the source tree. You can read the announcement on the clutter blog.
Now you can grab them from the official clutter repository:
$ svn co http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/clutter/trunk/bindings/clutter-vala/clutter
Or browse as well. I would like to thank Matthew and Juerg for being both very supportive maintainers of both Clutter and Vala.
Timeline Widget
I’ve been working on a generic time group selector widget, a similar widget to the one used on F-Spot. I’m implementing it in Vala so it can be reused for other languages/apps/libraries.
So far, it takes a data model that may contain a GDate field, and it generates bars with the amount of items of each month:
Obviously it needs some work, but it’s going pretty straightforward and it can be used as an example on how to create widgets with the Cairo bindings.
I’ve uploaded the code to a public git repository:
$ git clone http://www.gnome.org/~aruiz/vala/time-select.git
To test it, you only need to have vala installed (get the latest release) and just run make.
