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. GTK+ is the only 100% free-of-cost open source industrial-strength GUI toolkit available today. Since its origins as the toolkit for the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), GTK+ has been used in a wide range of software. Notably, GTK+ is the foundation of the GNOME desktop; GTK+ 2.22 will be incorporated into version 2.32 of the GNOME desktop. What's new in GTK+ 2.22 ======================= GTK+ 2.22 adds new functionality while maintaining source and binary compatibility with earlier GTK+ 2.x releases. Highlights of new features and improvements in GTK+ 2.22 are: - gdk-pixbuf has been separated into its own module again. Find it here: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gdk-pixbuf/2.22/ - GTK+ and GDK have gained a considerable number of accessors, and more APIs that are slated for removal in GTK+ 3 have been marked as deprecated. These allow to prepare applications for a port to GTK+ 3, using the G_SEAL_ENABLE and GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED defines. - A few new cairo-related functions have been introduced, such as gdk_window_create_similar_surface() and gdk_window_get_background_pattern(), to facilitate the move to entirely cairo-based drawing in GTK+ 3. Most drawing done by GTK+ itself has already been ported from GDK drawing APIs to cairo.
