The new and rewritten version of Glade has taken the streets!

Get it at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade3/3.0/.

NOTE - Glade 3.0 Requires GTK+ 2.8 and libxml2, Glade 3.0 will expose properties, signals and widgets from GTK+ 2.8, remember that you need an up to date version of GTK+ to support those widgets.

Custom widgets deprecated?

I'm surprised because custom widgets are deprecated.
And more on, it's not posible to assign them signals that are not in the list of existing signals.

And do not try to assign them properties, glade 3 won't allow you.

Custom widgets is one of the more powerful concepts in glade-2, it's so sad glade-3 has changed that.

I will be with glade-2.
