imdisplay, compatibility with Gtk 2.14.7, and portability enhancements

for the FreeBSD package. Pre-compiled binaries are available for

32-bit x86 Linux.

--------------------------------

 

Version 0.7.4:

. Renamed PACKAGES macro in Makefiles, to avoid conflicts with

FreeBSD build env (reported/fixd by Alexey Shuvaev)

. Established compatibility w/ Gtk 2.14.7, which introduced several

functions with same names as wrappers SLgtk has provided for years

i.e. gtk_widget_get_window(), gtk_adjustment_get_upper() etc; SLgtk

now provides these only for Gtk < 2.14 (reported by Alexey Shuvaev)

. Imdisplay 0.3.6:

- Ensure that saved files reflect size/orientation/etc of

final rendered image, not that of source image(s).

. Added OO-like connect()/disconnect()/block()/unblock() methods

to GtkPlotDescriptor, for more elegant signal management

. VWhere 1.3.10:

- Upgrade SLang prompt field from a simple text entry widget

to the full gprompt terminal widget (described below).

- Region filters now support exclusion: pressing the 'e' key

while creating a region (or after selecting one) marks it

with a slash so as to exclude the points it contains
