GTK+ 2.99.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.99/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.99/ 304a9f4553b6e5de224053245d21b897ede9ef44a232de7f769e5116f40bd41a gtk +-2.99.0.tar.bz2 37060a94be5c0c72c2a68298ee2cb35ef9f275bd76d3bcd69a189f7539c030b6 gtk +-2.99.0.tar.gz This is a beta release of what will become GTK+ 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. An exception to this are the gtk-update-icon-cache and gtk-builder-convert utilities, for which parallel installation would make little sense. * 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 doc. The removal of GSEALEd struct members has been completed in this release. A handful of 2.x deprecations still need to be dealt with; the majority of deprecations in this release are new in 3.0, and will not be removed before GTK+ 4.0. * 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+ is found at: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.99/gtk-building.html A porting guide from GTK+ 2.x to GTK+ 3: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.99/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html Common questions: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.99/gtk-question-index.html (note that the links in this section may not work until tomorrow) 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+ 2.91.7 to 2.99.0 ============================================== * Deprecations and removals: - Long-obsolete linuxfb-related GtkWindow APIs have been dropped - All remaining G_SEALed struct members have been removed - GtkThemeEngine has been removed - gdk_display_get_window_at_device_position() has been renamed to gdk_device_get_window_at_position() - gdk_display_get_device_state() has been renamed to gdk_device_get_position() - gdk_device_set_source() has been dropped - gdk_set_pointer_hooks(), gdk_display_set_pointer_hooks() and gdk_display_set_device_hooks() have been removed - The deprecated GtkNotebook:tab-pack child property has been removed - The deprecated gtk_quit_add() functions have been removed - The GtkRange update-policy facility has been removed * The gtk-update-icon-cache and gtk-builder-convert utilities have been renamed back to their un-suffixed names. Distributions will have to resolve the conflict between GTK+ 2.x and 3.0 packages by dropping one set of the utilities and adding a dependency. * It is now possible to include multiple GDK backends in a single library. The --with-gdk-backend option has been split into separate --enable-{x11,win32,quartz}-backend options. * The GDK Quartz backend has been ported to the new GDK backend API * A number of widgets have been ported to use GtkStyleContext directly: GtkAccelLabel, GtkArrow, GtkSeparator, GtkSpinButton, GtkMessageDialog, GtkFrame, GtkEventBox, GtkScrolledWindow, GtkProgressBar, GtkEntry, GtkFileChooserEntry, GtkSwitch, GtkHandleBox, GtkToolbar, GtkFixed, GtkToolPalette, GtkAboutDialog, GtkAssistant, GtkTrayIcon, GtkPaned, GtkToolButton, GtkSocket, GtkRecentChooser, GtkTooltip, GtkPathBar, GtkWin32EmbedWidget, GtkCellView, GtkDialog, GtkDrawingArea, GtkPlug, GtkEntryCompletion, GtkFileChooserButton, GtkFileChooser, GtkHandleBox, GtkLinkButton, GtkOffscreenWindow * Various problems with width-for-height geometry management have been fixed in GtkAlignment, GtkCheckButton, GtkBin * The GtkComboBox, GtkIconView and GtkCellView widgets have been ported to use GtkCellArea for their cell layouts * The cups print backend can now send print jobs directly in PDF if cups supports it * GtkNumerableIcon is a variant of GEmblemedIcon for using numbers as emblems * Bugs fixed: 144324 Leaking dnd contexts with XDnD 165987 unsets DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID 307963 GtkSpinButton clamps value with the wrong maximum. 321958 gtk.Calendar Notes should also say the format of year 533745 Segfault on gdk.DragContext.drag_get_selection() 553404 Out-of-date comment in gtk_text_view_add_child_in_window() 559503 Description should mention gregorian 560177 Applications should send print jobs to CUPS in PDF format... 562182 gtk_init() docs inaccurate 599130 Ending a drag using space or enter doesn't always cause a... 617312 Move documentation to inline comments: GtkDialog 617315 Move documentation to inline comments: GtkDrawingArea 617322 Move documentation to inline comments: GtkEntryCompletion 617327 Move documentation to inline comments: GtkExpander 617471 Migrate API docs from templates to source files... 621720 Use $(AM_V_GEN) to silent the build a bit. 622125 Note that gtk_show_uri needs gvfs to spawn URLs 629955 Deprecate/remove gtk_main and gtk_init_add/remove* API 633795 gdk_event_get_state wrongly extracts GDK_PROPERTY_NOTIFY... 634711 Xlib warning when RANDR is missing 635299 add gtk_selection_data_get_data_with_length API... 637691 Eating events breaks proxied DND 637721 gtk 2.91.6 issue with gtkcellrendererprogress 637736 [GtkAboutDialog] Newlines are ignored in translator-credits 637763 [GtkAboutDialog] no longer display contact link 637834 gtk_widget_verify_invariants: relax toplevel checks 637849 Shell segfaults when unicode characters after U+00FF... 637895 gdk_pointer_grab() deprecated comment is not helpful enough 637907 gtkwindow.h includes a private header 637910 GtkSpinner - does not animate 637958 print dialog doesn't fit on netbook screen size 637974 Gtk+ 2.91.7 build of introspection fails 638179 in draw signal handle call gtk_style_context_add_provider... 638193 GtkSpinButton documentation out of date 638231 GtkSwitch states translation 638386 gdk_x11_display_init_input careless 638580 'application' window's property released too late 638608 gtkenums: add GTK_STATE_FLAG_NORMAL = 0 * Updated translations: Estonian Kurdish Norwegian bokmÃl Punjabi Spanish Swedish Uighur Contributors to this release: Robert Ancell Tristan Van Berkom Kristian Rietveld Javier JardÃn Tim Janik Brian Cameron Carlos Garnacho John Ralls Dan Winship Benjamin Otte Alejandro PiÃeiro Ignacio Casal Quinteiro Hans Breuer Nguyán ThÃi Ngác Duy Carlos Garcia Campos Adrian Johnson Kristian HÃgsberg Julien Cristau John Palmieri Frederic Crozat Diego Escalante Urrelo Milan Bouchet-Valat SzilÃrd Pfeiffer Bruno Piguet Nikos Kouremenos Garrett Regier Tadej BorovÅak Emilio Pozuelo Monfort January 6, 2011 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
