GTK+ 2.9.4 is now available for download at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.9/ gtk+-2.9.4.tar.bz2 md5sum: c06cf2cfa66485600d90789c9e58f27c gtk+-2.9.4.tar.gz md5sum: e3fefedc7f1a89b66c71c9967168a857 This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.10. 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+ 2.8. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.8. * GTK+ 2.10 will be source compatible with the GTK+ 2.8 series; the new API additions in GTK+ 2.9.0 are finalized by now. * The ABI version has been bumped from 2.4.0 to 2.10.0, since the filechooser backend interface has been changed. Third-party filechooser backends need to be ported to the new interface. Other third-party modules (input methods, image loaders, etc) just need to be reinstalled in the proper location for GTK+ to find them. * Remaining issues for GTK+ 2.10 can be found with following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gtk%2b&target_milestone=2.10+API+Freeze&target_milestone=2.10+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.
