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. 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 3.6 ================= Major new features include: * GtkSearchEntry: a GtkEntry subclass that is set up to be a search entry * GtkMenuButton: a button that pops up a menu. The menu can be generated from a GMenu or provided manually * GtkLevelBar: a new widget for displaying the strength or level of some quantity Other improvements: * Spin buttons can be oriented vertically * Text views and entries can display 'selection handles' when used with touch devices * Theming - Support for cross-fading and transitions - Support for CSS animations - Support for blur shadows For more details and lists of fixed bugs, see the NEWS file that is included in the tarball, or see: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/plain/NEWS?id=3.6.0 For concerns about porting from older GLib release, see the README file that is included in the tarball, or see: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/plain/README.in?id=3.6.0 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/gtk3/stable/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk3/stable/gtk-question-index.html Contributing ============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions.
