GTK+ Vala Application Markup Language is a markup language based on Vala which lets you create Gtk+ composite widgets through concise XML:
- compact XML syntax for describing Gtk widgets
- JSON-like and less verbose Gtkon syntax
- code 'islands' (written in Vala) for signal handling and other methods/signals/properties/ in your widget class (so you don't modify the generated code ever)
- you don't depend on gtkaml at run-time
- much more readable than the usual UI boilerplate (e.g. you don't need to worry about temporary variable names, or ever write hundreds of lines of code)
- works with any library that has a .vapi file, not just Gtk+ (composition methods can be specified in the .implicits file)

gtkaml 0.6 beta 1
This beta release includes a new way of interaction with the Vala compiler that enables future developments.
There should be no notable differences compared to 0.4.3's functionality other than:
- compatibility with Vala 0.12/0.14/0.15
- source files' order from command line is not relevant anymore (previous architectural limitation)
- support for custom creation methods (the construct will still be generated by gtkaml)
