GTK+ 2.19.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.19/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.19/ md5 sums: 3f380acb0632687d84fdf8f70b0f1d07 gtk+-2.19.0.tar.bz2 302b1dae804f30c88fbcbde36843a91c gtk+-2.19.0.tar.gz sha1 sums: b7df96eea0b01f7973c9a2e0a0d4e36a63b0feac gtk+-2.19.0.tar.bz2 44a19f91c9cd9b2b661fff1d26e38ae085ef72c7 gtk+-2.19.0.tar.gz This is the first development release leading toward 2.20. Notes: * This is the first development release in the 2.19 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+ 2.18. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.18. * GTK+ 2.20 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.18 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.20 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.
