GTK+ 2.90.7 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.90/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.90/ ff8bff6a422c3e8dadfc4bc1448d5e63b1de0a244eb51a8edd33cfe6f06cc2aa gtk +-2.90.7.tar.bz2 3ea3f176ae260a69eb1404ccae62e8839991213590b032fe3fca24777b883dfc gtk +-2.90.7.tar.gz This is the a 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. For more information about porting concerns, see the porting guide that is included in the API docs. * 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.
