gtk+-2.11.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: e6a5d829bb729b2d7c35d2988974119b gtk+-2.21.0.tar.gz md5sum: c2db34848bb99da1b742b92c8393c5bb This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.12. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.10. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.10. * GTK+ 2.12 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.10 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.12 release. In particular, the following API additions are still being considered for inclusion: 172535 Add support for UI builders in gtk+ 412882 gdkwindow should support the concept of "composited" 318807 Offscreen windows and window redirection * 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.
