Future GNOME Library Developments

This tutorial covers programming with version 1.0 of the gnome libraries. But of course there is life after 1.0. There are many things still planned for the libraries. But don't worry, we will try to keep as much compatibility with the 1.0 version as humanely possible.

Here's a short list of things that will be or currently is worked on.

More common dialogs, such as a native gnome file picker dialog.

More corba integration of the entire desktop. This is including much more corba support from the core libraries.

Better canvas, including better alpha channel support and printing directly from the canvas.

Rewrite of the configuration setup.

Much much more! ... Stuff we haven't even thought of yet!
