About 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. News ==== * Win32 updates: Major update of the win32 backend, it now works at least as well as the old 2.16.x version that a lot of windows applications was forced to use Some particular highlights: - Tablet support (wintab) works - The MS-Windows theme works better, and is enabled by default on Windows - Pointer grabs on button press now works - Initial Window positioning is improved and now works very similarly to the X11 backend - Scrolling a window with another window overlapping it doesn't produce rendering artifacts on XP - Configure event delivery after window move or resize is much more robust, fixing a variety of rendering hangs and misbehaviours - Scrolling with synaptics touchpads work better * OS X updates: - Add Command-cursor keyboard navigation in text widgets - Fix loss of motion events after using the menu bar - Handle recursive CFRunLoops, fixing e.g. crashes when dropping files from finder - Set proper event->state values in all events * Ensure that the MOD1 modifier always means ALT, as this assumption is already used in many places in Gtk+ * Search engine backend updated to Tracker 0.12 * Bugs fixed: 84314 gdk_display_sync() and gdk_flush() 142874 use of SetWindowLong in gdkwindow-win32.c causes... 169811 configure_event and window-state-event are not... 171456 "Keep Above" option in Gimp broken on Win32 324254 Realizing a top-level window widget early positions... 516822 gtk_window_fullscreen does not resize correctly if... 537296 Maximizing a window larger than the screen makes... 542777 Scroll-Wheel doesn't scroll (Win) 552041 Windows' System Menu from taskbar is buggy 574935 win32: gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() has no effect... 604156 gtk_window_set_modal() freezes application completely 612359 Dialog positioning hints fail on Windows 7 631384 Images pasted from clipboard are shifted/wrapped 647460 typo in msw_style.c? 650300 Notebook tabs are incorrectly displayed with the... 658272 Port gtksearchenginetracker.c to tracker 0.11/0.12 659565 unbreak compilation on OpenBSD 661997 Gtk crashes when changing the TreeView model while ... 662633 Scheduled transaction editor crashes with gtk+-2.24.7 662670 Pressing "Enter" in print dialog box will not cause... 663138 iconview: layout items immediately when setting... 663182 NSImage throws an exception from _gtk_quartz_... 663543 Huge memory leak while using MS-Windows theme (gtk-demo) 663605 Fix event->state of many event types on quartz ChangeLog ========= http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.24/gtk+-2.24.8.changes (39.8K) Download ======== http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.24/gtk+-2.24.8.tar.xz (12.2M) sha256sum: 8a3b29f667933cf52eea2db7b066723edbc80443ca9c75b7cd7cbe8c8b90b93c http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.24/gtk+-2.24.8.tar.bz2 (15.8M) sha256sum: ac2325a65312922a6722a7c02a389f3f4072d79e13131485cc7b7226e2537043 _______________________________________________ ftp-release-list mailing list ftp-release-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ftp-release-list Upcoming changes: Nov 16: new tarballs use format .tar.xz (no more .tar.bz2 nor .tar.gz!)
