While GTK+ 2.24 will continue to be maintained and receive bug fixes, new development will move to GTK+ 3, with GTK+ 3.0 due to be released in a few days. 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. 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. What's new in GTK+ 2.24 ======================= GTK+ 2.24 adds functionality to help with porting to GTK+ 3 while maintaining source and binary compatibility with earlier GTK+ 2.x releases. Highlights of new features and improvements in GTK+ 2.24 are: - A new simple combo box widget, GtkComboBoxText - The cups print backend can send print jobs as PDF - GtkBuilder has gained support for text tags and menu toolbuttons - Many introspection annotation fixes For more details and lists of fixed bugs, see the announcements for the 2.23.x development releases: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-October/msg00128.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-December/msg00156.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-January/msg00003.html 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://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-question-index.html Contributing ============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions.
