GTK+ 2.15.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.15/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.15/ gtk+-2.15.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: 23ff288d00b24f0820a4ae79a747f25egtk+-2.15.0.tar.gz md5sum: 3f043b2a029fcaeb28899cd35081a1ab This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.16. Notes: * This is the first development release in the 2.15 cycle. It has had only little testing and there are unfinished features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should definitively not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.14. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.14. * GTK+ 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.14 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.16 release. Among the API additions that are still under consideration for 2.16 are: 565656 Add marks to scales 560228 Add "action-controller" property to GtkWidgetClass 553573 Add orientation API to GtkBox 553582 Add orientation API to GtkSeparator 553585 Add orientation API to GtkRuler 553586 Add orientation API to GtkPaned 553765 Add orientation API to GtkRange * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. What is GTK+============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical userinterfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable forprojects ranging from small one-off tools to complete applicationsuites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range oflanguages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl andPython (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) providesan effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, thelicensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by alldevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, withoutany license fees or royalties. Where to get more information about GTK+======================================== Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can befound at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+ 2.x is found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-question-index.htmlhttp://www.gtk.org/faq/ Contributing============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions.We are actively searching for new contributors in various areasand invite everyone to help project development.If you are willing to participate, please subscribe to the projectmailing lists to offer your help and read over our list of vacantproject tasks: http://live.gnome.org/GtkTasks Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.14.x to 2.15.0============================================== * GtkFileChooser - Optionally shows file sizes - Mounts volumes when necessary - Picks better mime icons * GtkEntry - Can show icons at either side of the entry, which can be made clickable, drag sources, etc - Can show progress information - Picks the best available placeholder character for invisible entries unless it is explicitly set. See the invisible-char-set property - Input methods work again in invisible entries - Invisible entries can optionally display a caps-lock warning. This can be turned off with the caps-lock-warning property * GtkStatusIcon - Uses an extension of the tray icon spec to negotiate RGBA support. This is also supported by the GNOME panel. For details, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2008-September/009934.html - Supports scroll events, middle clicks and rich tooltips * GtkLinkButton - Respects user-defined tooltips - Has a default url hook * GtkBuilder - Can construct menus - Can associate accel groups with windows - Child properties can now be translatable, e.g. GtkAssistant::page-title * GtkOrientable - A new interface implemented by all widgets that have horizontal and vertical variants * Printing support - Print-to-file can save to non-local files - Page rendering can be deferred to a thread to avoid blocking the mainloop * GDK - GdkKeymap emits a state-changed signal when the Caps Lock state changes * Newly deprecated functions: gdk_window_get_toplevels(), gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_apply_button(), gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip(), gtk_toolbar_set_orientation() * Changes that are relevant for theme authors - The GtkMenu::arrow-placement style property allow more space efficient layout of scrolling menus - Submenu arrows can be scaled relative to the font size, with the GtkMenuItem::arrow-scaling style property - Themes can set the GtkDialog::content-area-spacing style property to change the spacing between elements of the content area - The GtkEntry::state-hint style property can be used to make GTK+ pass the correct state when drawing the background of entries - The GtkEntry::prelight style property can be used to suppress prelighting of icons in entries on mouse-over * Changes that are relevant for translators - GTK+ has been switched to use the two-argument C_() macro instead of Q_() for messages with context * Bugs fixed: 434987 MS Windows style should use pango_win32_font_description_from... 325095 show a 'size' column 552837 mem leak in gtkimmulticontext 83935 GtkEntry's default invisible char should be U+25CF 553000 incorrect i18n header in gtkfilesystem.c 552789 Show size column in the search and recently used files modes 553135 eog crash: assertion failed. 382544 GtkIconView: Selection/focus should be painted around the items 541391 Unfocussable Treeview swallows focus 408244 add GtkDialog::content-area-spacing 538782 Make GtkMenu's arrow size themable 553385 gtk-builder-convert creates untranslated combobox models 553241 double freed pointer in lpr_write cause firefox3 crash 553917 Typo in gdkwindow-win32.c 553133 GtkFileChooser won't ask to mount a volume 553211 GtkFileChooserButton unsets filter after first use 553578 tabs are not drawn correctly 553803 eventually call XCloseDevice on XOpenDevice results 552956 Should check composite extension version 552959 GtkTrayIcon: _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL and real transparency 553575 Only draw focus when navigating with the keyboard 339367 Incorrect spotlocation 554141 uninitialized data use/free in gtkclipboard-quartz.c 371908 Password Entry broken 317002 Disable input method completely in GtkEntry when it... 487624 Tooltips doesn't get updated if ther's no mouse motion... 107000 Add signals to GdkKeymap for monitoring caps_lock, etc 530568 Entries with visibility=FALSE should warn for caps-lock on 553086 hard to see current immodule 541009 Get rid of separate subclasses for horizontal and vertical... 344522 support non-local destination files (GtkPrint) 553582 Add orientation API to GtkSeparator 554506 combining diacritics broken, became deadkeys 553585 Add orientation API to GtkRuler 554690 mem leak in filechooser 554691 mem leak in filechooser 554696 invalid free function used 554698 mem leak in filechooser 554701 filechooser spams console with useless warnings 554704 gtkfilesystemmodel does too much work 530575 GtkEntry with invisible chars has a confused cursor in overwr... 96431 Can't cut and paste / DND within invisible entry 132501 Make utility window translate to tool window in win32 539464 gtk_cell_view_get_model is missing in GtkCellView 553573 Add orientation API to GtkBox 555387 Changing the sensitivity of a statusbar mistakenly requires... 436533 Allow more space efficient scroll arrows placement 555270 Allow unsetting a MessageDialog's image 554702 gtkfilesystem leaks GError 554192 double press on the "circumflex" dead key... 516425 Optionally display accelerators in popups 550342 Splash screens have a caption 555578 GtkTable propertiy maxima are wrong 555523 gtk_scale_button_set_adjustment should accept NULL 555573 gtk_font_selection_set_font_name shouldn't require a screen 555676 gtk_widget_real_grab_focus assumes toplevel == window 555000 Wrong treatment on non-spacing marks dead keys in ... 551355 Make glib build with libtool 2.2 555186 Setting gtk-toolbar-icon-size with custom icon_size 555625 Updated gtk_compose_seqs_compact table 555386 format not a string literal and no format arguments 552318 menubar mnemonics consumed even when gtk-enable-mnemonics=false 555779 GtkCellRendererPixbuf crashed on failed GIcon lookup 556150 gtk 'object' property test fixing 556527 The current page property is not passed to GtkPrintUnixDialog 556578 GIMP windows stay on top of other windows 557059 crash when compositing emblems with icon 557266 Window Management Problem 555920 gtkentry.c passes wrong enum to pango_layout_set_alignment 528320 Incorrect icons displayed for files with custom mimetype icons 557524 "va_end(args);" should be added into gtk_text_buffer_insert_... 556835 gtkentry.c: variable is declared at middle of block 556954 gtk+/gtk/gtkrecentchooserdefault.c: mismatching allocation... 557315 stale clipboard target cache 530454 Clarify page_nr when printing 557065 gtkcellrendererpixbuf spams console over and over... 557894 Wrong return value for gdk_pointer_grab_info_libgtk_only 558397 gtk_widget_error_bell undefined without a screen 557762 Misleading error message in GDK DirectFB 557316 GtkLinkButton should consider user-defined tooltip 339714 Set printer dpi on cairo ps/pdf surfaces when printing 558522 scroll arrow painted insensitive even though there are pages... 347230 testicontheme shortcomings 558323 glitches when popping up combos in treeviews 558667 gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_apply_button -
