new gtk-rs release!

After being rescheduled a few times, the new gtk-rs is finally here! This time, we focused on adding new types, doing some cleanups and fixing a few things. But the big thing of this release is the add of futures to handle asynchronous function calls! If you’re interested into this, you should take a look at the examples:

• gio_futures
• gio_features_await

Have fun hacking!
