GTK+-2.5.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.5/ gtk+-2.5.1.tar.gz md5sum: 4c5f0e60132e066a24a341a88be64e3c gtk+-2.5.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: 2358c31b172ee7d3c5b264bfcc41f662 This is the second development release loading up to GTK+-2.6. This release contains new features in the GtkTreeView, GtkFileChooser, GtkComboBox and GtkLabel widgets and a number of bugfixes. 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+-2.4. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+-2.4.4. * GTK+-2.6 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+-2.4.x series; however, the new API additions in GTK+-2.5.1 are not yet finalized, so there are likely incompatibities between this release and the final 2.6 release. * Remaining API issues for GTK+-2.6 can be found with following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gtk% 2b&target_milestone=2.6+API +Freeze&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&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 developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties.
