GTK+-2.3.3 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/ gtk+-2.3.3.tar.bz2 md5sum: b82e22ec7c4d9a0670fd56b1c29dcc35 gtk+-2.3.3.tar.gz md5sum: 26366b28cface259ba96b80856c9d611 This is a development release leading up to GTK+-2.4. The most notable change since 2.3.3 is a rework of the user interface of the new GtkFileChooser based on a design by Seth Nickell (http://www.gnome.org/~seth/filechooser-spec/). There are also hundreds of bug fixes and small improvements. 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. Where to get more information about GTK+ ======================================== Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+-2.2 is found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.2/gtk/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.2/gtk/gtk-question-index.html http://www.gtk.org/faq/ Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.3.2 to GTK+ 2.3.3 ================================================= * GtkFileChooser [Federico]: - Support bookmarks in GtkFileSystemUnix.
