GTK+-2.3.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/ gtk+-2.3.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: d19a07d0fdb04a68f7a0506900cf9691 gtk+-2.3.1.tar.gz md5sum: 432a1db1775400076e9b74b434af21c5 This is a development release leading up to GTK+-2.4. Changes since GTK+-2.3.0 consist of numerous small bug fixes and enhancements, with a special focus on the new GtkFileChooser. Notes: * This is unstable development release. There are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+-2.2. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+-2.2.4. * GTK+-2.4 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+-2.2.x series; however, the new API additions in GTK+-2.3.x are not yet finalized, so there are likely incompatibities between this release and the final 2.4 release. * Remaining API issues for GTK+-2.4 can be found with following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gtk%2b&target_milestone=2.4+API+Freeze&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. What is GTK+ ============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties.
