The Loose Amalgamated C++ Xlib Wrapper Kit
The Laxkit is a semi-permeable C++ Xlib wrapper. If you are looking for a
window toolkit for X that is young, highly experimental, and whose API is quite unstable,
this is the toolkit for you. It is being made with an eye toward being able to easily
make programs and utilities that are useful to artists. The current main driving force behind
it is the development of the desktop publishing program Laidout.

The fifth release, such as it is!
It's been over a year since the last release, and all I have to show for it is as follows.
All text handling for all the widgets are now Utf8 based with Xft. Unfortunately, Xft, and thus the Laxkit also,
is limited to left-to-right languages.
Also included now is gettext based internationalization support. The Laxkit currently contains about 100 user messages, which have currently been
translated to English, Spanish, and French (the Spanish translation was done by myself, and is probably very badly translated).
Also there is input using X input methods and dead keys, which allows non-english keyboards to actually work as intended (hopefully!).
There have also been rather a lot of bug fixes and enhancements, particularly with the interface classes. The GradientInterface
controls in particular have been greatly improved.
