GTK+ 2.99.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.99/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.99/ 74d087981059a3271ed7839dd54d3155ac568e5e4abac8ef4022e4a4a3a7e752 gtk +-2.99.1.tar.bz2 328994ec01d23b1c447de4531a4a0a55038e6d594ffc8d18e9fbf7b4dc58fc31 gtk +-2.99.1.tar.gz This is the second 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.
