GTK+ 2.91.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.91/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.91/ 694e887b946a3aa28af10f776bc6f79bc566d0e1be679783d4e7469bc728aeac gtk +-2.91.0.tar.bz2 3c0a442d0a533fd423ef1802c3422eab8bab386000fd498d390f7a7de0fd983f gtk +-2.91.0.tar.gz This is 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. 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+ 2.90.7 to 2.91.0 ============================================== * The rendering cleanup work has landed. This is a large change that affects many APIs. - All GtkStyle functions have been changed to take a cairo_t argument instead of a window + area. - GdkPixmap is gone. APIs that took pixmaps are being replaced by ones that take pixbufs or cairo surfaces, or regions (where pixmaps were used as masks). In background handling, pixmaps have been replaced by cairo patterns, see gdk_window_set_background_pattern(). - GdkColormap is gone. It is replaced by visuals, see gtk_widget_set_visual(). - The ::expose-event signal on GtkWidget has been replaced by a ::draw signal. - gtk_widget_get_snapshot() has been removed. Instead, gtk_widget_draw() can render a widget onto an cairo_t. * The GtkSizeRequest interface has been merged into GtkWidget, and GtkCellSizeRequest has been merged into GtkCellRenderer. The wrapper functions have been renamed to include 'preferred', e.g gtk_size_request_get_width() is now gtk_widget_get_preferred_width() and gtk_cell_size_request_get_width_for_height() is now gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_width_for_height(). * GtkObject has been removed. The ::destroy signal has been moved to GtkWidget. At the same time, GtkWidgetFlags have been removed, they already had getters and setters anyway. * GtkWidget has gained generic alignment and padding properties: halign, valign, margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, margin-bottom These can be used instead of container-specific child properties or GtkMisc and GtkAlignment widgets. * Container widgets can now let GTK+ handle border-width for them, using gtk_container_class_handle_border_width() * The GtkEditableClass struct has been renamed to GtkEditableInterface * Mouse wheel scrolling has been removed from GtkNotebook * The default policy for scrolled windows has been changed to 'automatic' * Global url hooks have been removed from GtkAboutDialog and GtkLinkButton * The global window creation hook has been removed from GtkNotebook * The error handling in GDK has been modernized and avoids synchronizing X requests as much as possible * Fixed Bugs: 323904 GtkEditable header is slightly incorrect 339745 Return value of gtk_link_button_set_uri_hook not usable 468672 GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC should be the default policy... 486839 Filechooser 'Places' items should not move up and down... 601731 Drag and Drop from Workspace to Activities Overview 617316 Move documentation to inline comments: GtkEditable 621590 Add length to gtk_tree_path_get_indices 623664 Missing accessors for gtk_menu_get_position_func{,_data} 628829 Chain get_width_for_height default impl to vfunc... 629177 Do not use deprecated gtk_widget_get_child_requisition() 629277 Hanging because do_syntheszie_crossing_event is called... 629387 Use gint16 for GtkBorder 629598 Do not use deprecated gtk_widget_size_request() 629608 Revamp and modernize X error traps 629733 There is a misprint in the description of the gtk_check_... 629748 Fails to build without XComposite 629785 Do not use deprecated gtk_cell_renderer_get_size() 630033 Improve tests for X error traps, fix two bugs 630226 Removing tab scrolling from GtkNotebook 630520 Don't try to unref event->dnd.context unconditionally... 630521 Remove some remaining API warts from tab dnd api 630532 invalid drop point in drag-data-received callback Updated translations: Catalan Czech Danish Dutch German Gujarati Japanese Simplified Chinese Thanks to the people who contributed to this release: Javier JardÃn Benjamin Otte Havoc Pennington Kristian Rietveld Tristan Van Berkom Milan Bouchet-Valat Tor Lillqvist Sebastian DrÃge Colin Walters Johan Dahlin Owen Taylor Michael Natterer Tomeu Vizoso Florian MÃllner Christian Dywan Claudio Saavedra William Jon McCann Jonh Wendell Richard Hughes October 1, 2010 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
