System Requirements
===================
-GTK+-2.0.x
-LIBGNOMEUI-2.0.x
-LIBXML-2.4.x
-LIBGNOMEPRINT-2.2.x
-LIBGNOMEPRINTUI-2.2.x
-LIBGNOMECANVAS-2.0.x
-
-All of these libraries are available as part of Gnome 2.2
-
-Usage notes:
-============
-gLabels is still in its early stages of development and thus lacks any
-"real" documentation. Most folks have found it fairly easy to use, at
-least for its simple composition features. Beginning with version 0.4.x,
-gLabels has a document-merge capability that might not be as intuitive
-as these other features.
-
-The first step to performing a document merge is to prepare a source
-document that contains your merge data. This data could be mailing
-addresses or any other data that you wish to create unique labels or
-cards for. Currently only a simple back-end for text files exists --
-others are planned. The currently supported text-file format is very
-simple: each line is a record; fields are delimited by tabs,
-commas, or colons; and newlines can be embedded into fields by using
-the "\n" entity. This file could be created using any text editor or
-could be created by another program or script.
-
-A label must then be configured to "point at" this data file. This is
-accomplished with the "merge properties" dialog. This dialog is used
-to select the exact data file format and file name (location).
-
-Finally, once the label has been configured for a data file, field keys
-can be inserted into text and barcode objects in their property dialogs.
-
-Now that your label is configured, gLabels will print a unique label for
-each record in your source document -- substituting fields from each
-record for field keys in the all text and barcode objects.
-
-Beginning with 0.4.3, a simple CLI front-end called "glabels-batch" is
-provided to print previously created glabels files from a shell,
-other programs or scripts. Do a "glabels-batch --help" for usage
-information.

=======
This development plan sets a specific set of milestones for future versions of glabels.
-Goals for 2.0.x:
+Goals for 2.2.x:
- Bugfixes
- Translations
-Possible Goals for 2.1.x (current development branch):
+Possible Goals for 2.3.x (current development branch):
- Undo, Redo capability
appropriate for the current units selected (e.g. .1 points, .01 mm,
1/64 inch, 0.001 inch).
- - Handle namespace collisions better in template designer. Ask to
- override existing templates, or perhaps automatically suffix the
- name when duplicate. Allow for management of custom templates
+ - Allow for management of custom templates
(i.e. delete, rename, edit).
-Completed Goals for 2.1.x:
-
- - Object shadows. This is very important for text that
- overlays photographs, so that it stands out against
- varying backgrounds.
-
- - Technology upgrades:
-
- o Pango. This is a must to support rich text items.
-
- o Cairo-based canvas.
-
- o Cairo print rendering.
-
- o GtkPrint.
-
- o GtkRecentManager.
