Here is the latest Caml Weekl News (August 8 to 14, 2001).

======================================================================
1) New version 1.2.1 of LablGTK
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacques Garrigue just released a new version 1.2.1 of LablGTK.

LablGTK is a strongly typed interface to the GTK+ 1.2.x toolkit,
interfacing almost all widgets available. It also includes support
for OpenGL (combined with lablGL) and the Glade GUI designer.

This version is only a minor release.
Main changes are:

* improved glade support. lablgladecc was added, allowing extracting widget
  names from glade interface descriptions. This allows mixed development.
  See examples/glade for details.

* do not call setlocale by default. This had silly side effects for
  some French users. Japanese (/Korean/Chinese/Hebrew...) users will
  have to enforce the locale explicitely.

======================================================================
2) Extended thread synchronisation module
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I announced:

 Extended thread synchronisations for Objective Caml 3

 Provide barriers and read/write locks (with both reader and writer
 preference). The programing interface is a straightforward translation
 of the standard O'Caml Thread and Mutex modules.

 License: GNU LGPL (same as O'Caml standard library).

You'll find the package at:
