It would be nice know that >=pango1.32.4 means that systems with fontconfig, freetype and xft if and only if harfbuzz >= 0.9.9.
Seems like the pango 1.32.4 configure.ac tests in things in the wrong order. 2013/3/25 Matthias Clasen <matthias.cla...@gmail.com> > GTK+ 3.8.0 is now available for download at: > > http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/3.8/ > ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/3.8/ > > sha256 sum: > db1345d89d6b5f5bad411b4b2a3b1a18a2a8f98d2ab1b40d43a0197a6e6c252e > gtk+-3.8.0.tar.xz > > > 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. > > 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 3.8 > ================= > > Major new features include: > > * Wayland: > - we support Wayland 1.0 now > > * Broadway: > - we install a separate server: broadwayd > > * Theming: > - Improve touch text handle theming > - Always draw background of menuitems > - The default font is no longer handled like a custom style sheet > that overrides everything, but as the initial value. This is the > same behavior as in web browsers. > - It is now possible to set font-family and font-size like other > CSS properties, and relative font sizes are supported. Font > sizes in CSS can be specified as numbers or with keywords > like xx-small, medium, smaller, larger,... > - GtkFrame now draws a background > - Opacity can be set on any GtkWidget, not just toplevels > > * Geometry management > - Size groups now handle height-for-width > - Fix corner cases in label size allocation > - Invisible widgets now return a size of 0x0. This is an experimental > change that makes GtkWidget::visible essentially behave the same way > that "display: none" does in CSS. If you want the effect of CSS's > "visibility: hidden", you can use a GtkNotebook with an empty page > > * Accessibility > - Entry icons are now accessible > - We install headers for accessible implementations of GTK+ widgets. > This makes it possible to implement accessibility for third-party > widgets by subclassing the proper GTK+ implementation.
