Hi Owen,
thanks for this news that will make happy a lot of people!
And while being happy about that news i was becomming some
ideas. Could be some criticize on Gtk+. But please take it
easy. Nobody needs to be tired! Cause nobody's perfect...
...Last months i wrote an application with Gtk+2.x. For the
file selection i used GtkFileSelection and for a tree view
GtkTreeView.
My statement:
Now GtkCTree is not very old but deprecated. What's about
GtkFileSelection? Du i need to update my source code in
the next three months?
If yes i think: "HELP!!! how much time i will need for
maintaining my source codes!"
I'm thinking that this question never should be called.
And now?
I know that old ideas sometimes needs to be fallen down.
And i didn't forget that now Gtk+ is in a development
step called version 2.x (the stable one). But there is an
idea that i saw in reallity:
If i like to install any for M$-Windows 1995 written
application on a $Windows XP system (since 2000) there are
no problems while using these very old binaries on a modern
PC system. But installing Gtk+ application binaries,
written in 2002, will make big problems for big projects
if i like to install them on a one year newer OS(with Gtk+)?
On modern PC systems (most have them) isn't it possible to
keep old traditions? If a developer needs to update some
source code to the newest feautures of Gtk+ he will do this!
And while the old, older and oldest code is running perfect
or good enough, why removeing those code? Isn't it equal
wheter a great library like Gtk+ needs 10 or 20 MB on hard
disk?
Have a nice day!
Mathew
