[The source code for the internationalized version is now available...]

We are happy to announce a new version of Unison with a user interface
based on Gtk 2.2, enabling display of filenames with any locale encoding.

Please note that this is a source-code-only alpha release, that it has
not been thoroughly tested, and that it is currently only known to work
smoothly with Linux and OSX (it *should* work with other platforms, but
there will probably be installation issues). To use it, you will need to
download the developer source tarball and recompile it from scratch. A
binary release will happen in due course, when we've shaken out the bugs.

==== from src/README.gtk2

In order to use gtk2 with unison,

1) install glib, pango, gtk (version >2.2)
from http://www.gtk.org/

2) install lablgtk2 (version >20030423)
from http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/olabl/lablgtk.html

3) install unison (version >2.9.36)
from http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Simply type 'make'.

Makefile will detect the presence of lablgtk2 directory
$(OCAMLLIBDIR)/lablgtk2 (such as /usr/local/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2/)
and use UISTYLE=gtk2 by default. If absent, it falls back to
lablgtk with UISTYLE=gtk, then back to UISTYLE=text.

You can force the selection by
make UISTYLE=gtk2
or make UISTYLE=gtk
or make UISTYLE=text

4) setup your locale environment properly
for example, export LANG=zh_HK.BIG5-HKSCS

otherwise, you will get
Uncaught exception Glib.GError("Invalid byte sequence in conversion input")

5) enjoy unison with i18n!
