GTK+ 2.99.3 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.99/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.99/ 03dd37fd89fe0f0cea688cb077192b5ff95325b66d53d724c7511d36b6e90496 gtk +-2.99.3.tar.bz2 b456ab2b90c550cca9596bc5a939eb87dc4d0af3d502c180ec2fa4718a0ced61 gtk +-2.99.3.tar.gz This is the last beta release of what will become GTK+ 3.0. The amount of changes that went into this release was larger than anticipated, and we will therefore give it at least a week of little to no changes before declaring 3.0 done. 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 is the gtk-update-icon-cache utility, for which parallel installation would make little sense. Distributors can choose to build GTK+ 3 with the --enable-gtk2-dependency configure option to avoid building gtk-update-icon-cache, and rely on the GTK+ 2.x version of the utility instead. * GTK+ 3 removes deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series and makes 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: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.99/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html The removal of GSEALed struct members and deprecated APIs has been completed. Any deprecated APIs in this release 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 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 in GTK+ 2.99.3 ================================== * This release adds some forgotten padding to class structs, and thus breaks ABI for a last time before 3.0 * Many Introspection annotation improvements * We no longer build the gtk-update-icon-cache utility, and use a preexisting one, if --enable-gtk2-dependency is passed to configure * GtkBuilder can now fill GtkComboBoxText and GtkMenToolButton widgets with data, as well as GtkFileFilters and GtkTextTagTables * GtkImage now has a ::use-fallback property to allow generic fallback with GIcons and icon-names (e.g. for symbolic icons) * There's a new gtk_text_view_get_cursor_locations() to enable popup-at-cursor functionality * The application chooser widgets can now set a custom dialog heading * The file chooser and application chooser widgets have received minor visual improvements * gtk-auto-mnemonics is now backed by an XSetting * Defaults for GtkSettings, as well as theme-specific settings, are now read from key files * Key themes are now supported again, their syntax has been changed to be CSS-like * More objects use GtkStyleContext directly now: GtkTreeView GtkIconView GtkCellArea GtkCellRendererText GtkCellRendererPixbuf GtkCellRendererAccel GtkCellRendererProgress * GtkPlug and GtkSocket have been reduced to X11-specific API, and using them requires including the <gtk/gtkx.h> header, and uses of GdkNativeWindow in their APIs have been replaced by the X11 Window type. A number of other API changes were necessary in GDK to ensure that multiple GDK backends can coexist: - GdkNativeWindow has been dropped - The GdkEventOwnerChange owner field is a GdkWindow now - The GdkEventSelection requestor field is a GdkWindow now - The GtkWidget::client_event vfunc is gone - GdkEventClient is gone, together with related API: gdk_add_client_message_filter gdk_display_add_client_message_filter gdk_screen_broadcast_client_message gdk_event_send_client_message gdk_event_send_client_message_for_display gdk_event_send_clientmessage_toall - gdk_drag_get_protocol_for_display has been changed to gdk_window_get_drag_protocol * Migration guide and tutorial and other documentation improvements * Bug fixes 322926 FileChooser: Alt-Shift-Down should work like Alt-Down 351755 GTK_RANGE (range) -> round_digits should be exposed... 586635 gtk_info_bar_add_button() should return GtkButton* 590459 Text is sometimes not pasted at the right location 598952 Implement object attribute to expose toolkit/source 626336 Warning when activating GtkButton outside of an event... 634677 assertion in finalize assuring that buffer is NULL... 635287 Specify packages when generating GIR 636691 Rendering icons with prelight state doesn't... 638920 gail should provide toolkit as an AtkAttribute 639139 Subclassing GtkIconView broken lately in master 639186 gtk_paper_size_new fails to recognize valid name 639325 Generated introspection broken 639380 Critical warnings when detaching tab 639455 accel cell renderer critical warning 639520 Update docs about colormap to use visual instead. 639531 No error is given when attempting to save to "nonexistent... 639625 Crashes on dereferencing a NULL GtkBorder. 639750 Support css3 colors 639754 Must widget class names begin with uppercase letter? 639767 password not accepted in gnome-screensaver dialog 639792 Regional panel: "Add" dialog: combos not sorted 639822 Synthesized button2/button3 does not transfer source_device 639845 insensitive and separator items in comboboxes not working... 639931 gtk_application_add_window() docs should mention window destr... 639949 pygobject leaks references on GtkWindows 640005 removable media dialog should use app names 640006 choose app dialog shows other apps by default 640011 Selects application on cancel 640105 Crash showing a offscreen window with a textview inside 640161 GtkFileChooserWidget 0xbbf6c0 is mapped but visible=1... 640188 gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable missing from migration guide 640195 gdk_cairo_create gets cairo context with badly clipped... 640282 insensitive, active check button becomes sensitive 640313 BadDevice X error when ungrabbing a SLAVE device 640391 Display lines between rows when window is focused 640487 crash on gtk_statusbar_remove_all() 640698 Incompatibility in 'matched-selected' signal invocation 640712 GtkAssistant fonts are too big 640744 mount-operation: don't show the dialog until the tree... 640902 X11 headers included by default in public headers 640965 XCompose does not work with GTK+ 2.99.x 640983 GtkSettings: Fix theme not updating for dark theme 640999 GtkSpinner Class check macro is invalid 641023 assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed in gtkplug.c 641039 Cannot expand/collapse nodes by mouse 641042 assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object) in gdkevents.c 641059 Fix several bugs handling GtkTrayIcon symbolic colors 641073 Please be consistent with GtkEntryCompletion 641176 Fix crash in gtk_fixed_remove() * Translation updates Arabic Basque Catalan Chinese Esperanto Estonian Galician German Greek Hebrew Italian Kazakh Norwegian bokmÃl Persian Punjabi Spanish Uighur Contributors to this release include: Tristan van Berkom Cosimo Cecchi Colin Walters Michael Natterer Fridrich Åtrba Jasper St. Pierre Chun-wei Fan Christian Dywan Javier JardÃn Martin Pitt Carlos Garnacho Garrett Regier Luca Ferretti Anders F BjÃrklund Sebastian PÃlsterl Bastien Nocera Pavel Holejsovsky Florian MÃllner Johan Dahlin William Jon McCann Benjamin Otte Tomeu Vizoso Federico Mena Quintero Christian Persch Guillaume Desmottes Murray Cumming Ignacio Casal Quinteiro Krzesimir Nowak Paolo Borelli Emmanuele Bassi Stefan Kost Kristian Rietveld Dan Winship Vincent Untz February 1, 2011 Matthias Clasen _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
