Re: The new tooltips API in 5 minutes [Was: Re: Whats coming in GTK+ 2.12, continued]
quote who=BJörn Lindqvist A new API called GtkTooltip replaces an API called GtkTooltips? Seems like that could become very confusing.. especially when using two or more GtkTooltips. Couldn't you have came up with something a little more imaginative? :) Perhaps GtkTooltipEx? GtkTooltippr?

Re: Supporting Gtk+ Maintenance
quote who=Tim Janik So for the foundation board, there are two things that can be done to improve the current situation: 1) Please present the issue at hand (this email and the email linked to above) to the advisory board members, to make sure the companies involved are aware of the situation. And if possible, spread the word to other involved parties or (non advisory) companies. Your timing is fantastic -- we're having an Advisory Board meeting tomorrow morning. I will bring it up then. :-) 2) Please investigate if the hiring/sponsoring of a full time Gtk+ maintainer position by the Gnome foundation is also a possibility. Current and previous boards have been very cautious about the idea of hiring developers. We'd prefer to hire people who can support the work of hackers. That's not to say it's completely off the table, but there's more we can do with contributing companies beforehand. Just for the record, I'm taking this issue very seriously. It's one of the reasons I brought up GTK+ collaboration with the GNOME Foundation (and the other project mentioned during the GTK+ meeting at GUADEC).

Re: Version of gtk+ to shoot for in Gnome 2.18?

(I couldn't find one at http://www.gtk.org/plan/, so I'm asking here) We are aiming for a GTK+ 2.12 release around January '07 [1]. I hope to update the plan part of the website soonish, it's on my list ... Based on past experience and declarations of never again, I think we (for GNOME release management) need to be vry careful about depending on unstable GTK+ releases.

GTK+ 2.10 on track for GNOME 2.16?
Hi Matthias and GTK+ dudes, Just wanted to check with you that GTK+ 2.10 is on track as per the 2.10 plan page [1], such that we can depend on all your cool new work in GNOME 2.16. If your plans have changed, an update and recommendation as to what we do in the 2.15 tree would be greatly appreciated. If so, we will announce on devel-announce-list that GNOME will target GTK+ 2.10. It would be really sweet if you guys could do a developer-focused run down of the new bits in 2.10, and porting information where applicable.

Re: GTK+ 2.10 on track for GNOME 2.16?
quote who=Matthias Clasen I am still trying to get 2.9 releases out before the end of April, although it is looking a bit tight. Need to get the async filechooser branch merged first. As soon as that has happened, I'll go into release mode... Does it feel/look like you'll meet the May target mentioned in the 2.10 plan page? I'd start feeling uncomfortable if it slipped much beyond May or June, from our previous experiences with synching GTK+ and GNOME releases. There's great stuff in 2.10 that would be disappointing to miss out on. :-) If you guys need help with anything, can we help spread the word for you? - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ Warning: we're not going to use the testing sessions as vehicles for personal UI vendettas. - Anna Dirks ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

Re: GNOME 2.11/2.12 targeting GTK+ 2.8 (ie cairo based)
quote who=Mark McLoughlin I think these kind of questions are only relevant in the context of deciding on the *gtk* schedule. I don't think they're very relevant in the context of deciding whether GNOME 2.12 should use GTK+ 2.8. If we're all confident the schedules line up, then I don't think there's really any more discussion to be had. That said, we were pretty confident that previous attempts at lining up the schedules were going to work, but we were bitten in the end by late delivery *and* GTK+ being less robust than we're used to (spoilt brats that we are). So Mattias, it would be great if you could get agreement on feature culling and schedule changing from the GTK+ team, and let us know what the final decision is. Perhaps it's better for GTK+ to go for broke on the new stuff, and meet us for 2.14, perhaps not. But I think we can only safely target GTK+ 2.6 at the moment, given our past experience and information we have to hand. - Jeff -- OSCON 2005: August 1st-5th http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2005/ It's all a blur of a bunch of people having battles on different plants (sic).- Mary Gardiner on Star Wars ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
