GTK+ 2.90.2 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.90/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.90/ d8010a92297f4f926c73d6afa67d9f63032c2a827324b9590bc034efcd4f3a3f gtk +-2.90.2.tar.bz2 6d8d3c57f77169d1a2fac0e9dde5bf0287f867d9199490a0f1dc6b9a024f9c6f gtk +-2.90.2.tar.gz This is the third development release leading toward 3.0. Notes: * GTK+ 3 will be parallel installable with GTK+ 2.x, and this release has been prepared to test this by renaming all .pc files, libraries, include paths, and so forth, to include a '3.0' component. * GTK+ 3 will remove deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series and make struct members unavailable that have been GSEALed in 2.x. Therefore, applications can be prepared for porting to GTK+ 3 by making sure that they build with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and -DGSEAL_ENABLE. * 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+ 2.90.1 to 2.90.2 ============================================== * GtkApplication: an application class, based on GApplication. Currently, this is fairly minimal, but it is good enough already to replace libunique. Future work: - Add a way to say "This is my application menubar", which gets put into all toplevel windows on non-OS-X, and into the top on OS X - Support session management - Maybe support application settings * Misc new api: - gtk_window_has_group: determines if a window is part of a window group - gtk_status_bar_remove_all: removes all messages from a statusbar * DND on offscreen windows works now * GtkIconView: - arrow keynav can now be connected over adjacent icon views * GtkAssistant: - gtk_assistant_commits: prevents going back beyond a certain point in the page sequence, adjust shown buttons appropriately - It is now officially supported to have a progress page at the end of the page sequence * Introspection: - Many annotation fixes - gdkx.h api is exported in a separate typelib, GdkX11-3.0 * Cleanups: - the draw_string function has been removed from GtkStyle - gdk_get/set_use_xshm have been removed - Deprecated gdk_color api has been removed * Documentation related to GTK+ 1.2, etc has been removed. Instead there is an initial GTK+ 3 porting guide now. * Bugs fixed: 620509 Progress bar rendering is broken 607628 DnD operation doesn't work when using offscreen. 619838 kill off references to gtk 1.2 in docs/comments 608218 GtkOffscreenWindow causes bad window with GtkEntry 619649 Remove deprecated code from GdkColor 619080 text-inserted events should not be emitted unless text... 620511 Use g_source_set_name for all custom GSources in GTK+ 603637 gtk printer dialog does not show remote printer 618271 Add gtk_window_has_group() 617863 Actually expose the X11 funcs through introspection 620244 misprint in the description of the function gtk_widget_list_... 549127 Print error dialog not shown 611709 gseal hides GtkStatusBar->messages but doesn't give anything... 596428 GtkAssistant: Support ending with a progress page * Translation updates: Esperanto Hebrew Irish Thanks to our contributors Javier Jardón Christian Beier Carlos Garcia Campos Michael Natterer Li Yuan Garrett Regier John Palmieri Cody Russell Marek Kasik Matthew Barnes Tadej Borovšak Colin Walters Stanislas Marquis Sven Herzberg Steve Frécinaux Richard Hughes June 8, 2010 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
