Hello Everyone, I'm announcing the availability of HAL/C++. HAL/C++ is a _reimplementation_ of libhal and libhal-storage in pure C++, using dbus-C++. The API is oriented on the original C libhal and libhal-storage, but will not neccessarily be identical in the future. The library is application oriented, API that is required by system-level tools or HAL addons is currently not available. Main Features: - lightweight, modular - 4 main objects: HAL::Context, HAL::Device, HAL::Drive, HAL::Volume, Drive and Volume inherit from Device - libsigc++ for signalling - object-oriented HAL signal watching (device signals reflect changes to the relevant device) Homepage for HAL/C++ is: <a href="http://projects.backtrace.info/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Halmm" target="_blank">http://projects.backtrace.info/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Halmm</a> Please note that it currently requires a specific version of dbus-c++ which is available from our Mercurial repositories due to communication problems with dbus-c++ upstream (please see the note on the homepage). I hope that this situation can be remedied in the future.
