WELCOME TO GAMBAS!

GAMBAS is a free implementation of a graphical development environment
based on a BASIC interpreter and a full development platform. It is very
inspired by Visual Basic and Java.

Go to [http://gambas.sourceforge.net] to get more information: how to compile
and install it, where to find binary packages, how to report a bug...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The following pieces of code were borrowed and adapted:

- The natural string comparison algorithme was adapted from the algorithm
  made by Martin Pol. See [http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/] for more
  details.

- The hash table implementation was adapted from the glib one.

- The HTML entities parsing in 'gb.gtk' comes from KHTML sources.

- The 'gb.image.effect' sources are adapted from KDE 3 image effect routines.

- The 'gb.clipper' and 'gb.clipper2' components embeds the Clipper and Clipper2 library
  respectively. See [https://angusj.com/clipper2/Docs/Overview.htm] for more details.

- The function that computes the easter day of a specific year uses an
  algorithm made by Aloysius Lilius And Christophorus Clavius.

- The blurring algoritm is based on the 'StackBlur' algorithm made by Mario
  Klingemann. See [http://incubator.quasimondo.com/processing/fast_blur_deluxe.php]
  for more details.

- The javascript automatic completion is done with 'autoComplete' from Simon
  Steinberger / Pixabay, and is published under the MIT license.
  See [https://github.com/Pixabay/JavaScript-autoComplete] for more details.

- The 'gb.form.htmlview' component embeds the 'litehtml' library from Yuri
  Kobets. See [http://www.litehtml.com] for more details.

- The 'gb.hash' component embeds the code of the hashing routines of BusyBox made
  by Denys Vlasenko and Bernhard Reutner-Fischer. See [https://www.busybox.net/]
  for more details.

- The stock icons flags were generated from SVG files taken from
  [https://github.com/smucode/react-world-flags]. They are published under the MIT
  license.

- The algorithm of the [Paint.SmoothPolyline()](https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.qt4/paint/smoothpolyline)
  method is based on [https://www.particleincell.com/2012/bezier-splines/] and
  [https://www.jacos.nl/jacos_html/spline/circular/index.html].

If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me.

Enjoy Gambas!
