Hi all,
after 4 years of using GTK as the GUI toolkit for Geany, I think it's to switch to a modern and user-friendly GUI toolkit, Qt 4.
Probably the only way to continously get new users and be able to improve the editor more, is to use Qt 4.
Since this means a quite big change in everything, the project will be renamed into Qeany.
All GTK related code will be removed soon and replaced by newer, better Qt 4 code.
This way we can get rid off this archaic and legacy toolkit.
There is already a new web site: www.qeany.org with more information.
Hope you'll like the changes.
Regards, Enrico
:-D
I like the name Qeany! Sounds great in my opinion. ;-)
Regards, Laurent

Sure. I guess you'll also port it to the win32 api while you're at it (Weany?)? :D
Qeany and Weany will rock! :)
Best regards.
(Nice one ;) )

No, Weany is the Wxwidgets version, the windows version is $eany :-)
and don't forget the Fltk version Feany...
Cheers Lex

And following the philosophy of small and light, how aboutusing Tk for windows, that version would then be Teany Weany :-D

Heyho,

as most of probably noticed, this was just a joke on April Fools' Day :).
There are no intentions to use another name or toolkit or something, GTK is fine as it is.
Just to get a little smile into your faces.
