For those wondering, "but why not!?!?!": we've made a commitment to stability and backward compatibility, and as such do not wish to have our stable bindings depend on a separate brand-new, unstable binding. For the next unstable series, however, it should be quite easy to have a second add-on module that allows you to experiment with the new cairo stuff without needing to use a bleeding-edge, unstable version of Gtk2 itself. (Similar to the experimental Gtk2::3 module from the gtk+ 2.3.x / Gtk2 1.02x days.) -- muppet <scott at asofyet dot org> _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
