garcon - menu library
Contents
Garcon is an implementation of the freedesktop.org compliant menu specification. It is based on GLib/GIO and aims at covering the entire specification except for legacy menus. It was started as a complete rewrite of the former Xfce menu library called libxfce4menu, which, in contrast to garcon, was lacking menu merging features essential for loading menus modified with menu editors.
Introduction
Garcon covers almost every part of the menu specification except for legacy menus and a few XML attributes. In contrast to libxfce4menu, it can also load menus modified with menu editors such as Alacarte as menu merging is now supported. The only crucial feature still missing is monitoring menus and menu items for changes. This is something that will be worked on for the next release.
The garcon API will most likely not be frozen until its 1.0.0 release (It is currently at version 0.7.1)!
