[ANNOUNCE] Libgee 0.11.0 - GObject collection library

[news 28]

We are very pleased to announce version 0.11.0 of Libgee, the GObject

collection library.

 

Libgee 0.11.0 is now available for download at:

http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgee/0.11/

 

 

Also please note that now Libgee has its own mailing-list

http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/libgee-list

and its own #gee IRC channel.

 

 

New in 0.11.0

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

 

* Add futures and promises to libgee

* Update the build system

* Return true from HashSet.Iterator.foreach() if we fall off the end

 

 

Libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and

classes for commonly used data structures.

 

Libgee provides the following interfaces:

 

* Traversable

o Iterable

+ Collection

# List

* BidirList

# Set

* SortedSet

o BidirSortedSet

# MultiSet

# Queue

* Deque

+ Map

# SortedMap

* BidirSortedMap

o Iterator

+ BidirIterator

# BidirListIterator

+ ListIterator

# BidirListIterator

* MultiMap

* Future

 

The ArrayList, ArrauQueue, ConcurrentLinkedList, ConcurrentSet,

HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList,

PriorityQueue, Promise, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap

classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces.

In addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease

the implementation of new collections.

 

Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views,

efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable

iterators depending on the collection type.

 

Libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C

library. It's planned to provide bindings for further languages.
