After looking at the git log, you interpret correctly, but I fail to see why do you perceive this as being bad. So, some GDK API is marked as deprecated, it seems fair to me that Gtk+ maintainers ensure the deprecated API is not used in gtk+ itself anymore. It is also a good test that you are not deprecating something that can't be deprecated (i.e. there is no equivalent functionality in cairo). Please observe that many of the deprecated API (maybe all?) were already using cairo internally, so, as it has been already pointed out, you probably don't need to worry that much. Of course if gtk-2.22 DOES eventually broke something for you, then you should raise your voice high and complain ;) Greets José > _______________________________________________ > gtk-devel-list mailing list > gtk-devel-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list > _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
