HAL/C++ announcement

[Milosz Derezynski]

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:

http://projects.backtrace.info/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Halmm

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.


Regards
M.
