GTK+ 2.17.4 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.17/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.17/ md5 sums: fab0833657d241ee92580d589caeee64 gtk+-2.17.4.tar.bz2 99b85814e449a57632f3ce1be6463996 gtk+-2.17.4.tar.gz sha1 sums: e7cef27363f5f2f77674aad6475602e21c790bf0 gtk+-2.17.4.tar.bz2 f286c6899d6aa34cac35bb1779a12286917c9f73 gtk+-2.17.4.tar.gz This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.18. Notes: * This is an unstable development release. 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+ 2.16. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.16. * GTK+ 2.18 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.16 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.18 release. * 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. 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.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.html http://www.gtk.org/faq/ Contributing ============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions. We are actively searching for new contributors in various areas and invite everyone to help project development. If you are willing to participate, please subscribe to the project mailing lists to offer your help and read over our list of vacant project tasks: http://live.gnome.org/GtkTasks Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.17.3 to 2.17.4 ============================================== * GtkEntry now has model-view separation, with GtkEntryBuffer. One intended use case for this is to support 'secure memory' for password entries. * The print dialog can now optionally include the page setup controls, avoiding the need for a separate page setup dialog in many applications. * Coloring of visited links in GtkLabel can now be turned off, with the ::track-visited-links property. * Support for clipmasks in gdk_draw_pixbuf now works, this will introduce visual changes in code that uses clipmasks when drawing pixbufs. However, since this never worked that is unlikely to happen. Old code using gdk_pixbuf_render_threshold_alpha masks when rendering pixbufs will now produce truncated results at the edges. * A number of regressions from the client-side window merge have been fixed. * The directfb GDK backend has been fixed to build with csw. * Bugs fixed: 569393 gtk calendar localization YM note is wrong 587559 Popup closes immediately 551409 Print dialog should include page size and orientation 588115 gvim clipboard broken * Updated translations: Dutch Estonian Spanish Ukrainian Vietnamese Thanks to all contributors: Alexander Larsson Andre Klapper Kjartan Maraas Michael Natterer Benjamin Otte Stef Walter Cody Russell Marek Kasik July 10, 2009 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
