Hello, I have seen this mail that announce the last release of Gtk+.
Just a little question, when this last release can be available at the following page http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html. I am using windows for a Gtk+ application and I am very interrested by the last release. Thank you in advance, Cyril -----Message d'origine----- De : gtk-app-devel-list-boun...@gnome.org [mailto:gtk-app-devel-list-boun...@gnome.org] De la part de Matthias Clasen Envoyé : vendredi 13 mars 2009 18:21 À : gnome-announce-l...@gnome.org; gtk-devel-l...@gnome.org; gtk-l...@gnome.org; gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org Objet : GTK+ 2.16.0 released GTK+ 2.16.0 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.16/ ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.16/ gtk+-2.16.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: 139528802794287427fd4d18875b5cf5 gtk+-2.16.0.tar.gz md5sum: 2e926e526850d9cf62883c6d909b4351 Release notes are available at: http://www.gtk.org/notes/gtk-2.16.0-notes.txt 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. GTK+ is the only 100% free-of-cost open source industrial-strength GUI toolkit available today. 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; GTK+ 2.14 will be incorporated into version 2.24 of the GNOME desktop. What's new in GTK+ 2.16 ======================= GTK+ 2.16 adds new functionality while maintaining source and binary compatibility with GTK+ 2.14. Highlights of new features and improvements in GTK+ 2.16 are: Noteworthy new APIs - GtkOrientable is a new interface implemented by all widgets that have horizontal and vertical variants - GtkActivatable is a new interface that must be implemented by widgets that are used as action proxies Changes in GtkEntry - GtkEntry can show icons at either side of the entry, which can be made clickable, drag sources, etc. - GtkEntry can show progress information behind the text. - GTK+ picks the best available placeholder character for password entries unless one is explicitly set. - GTK+ displays a Caps Lock warning in password entries. - Input methods can now be selected per-widget with the "im-module" property. Changes in GtkScale - GtkScale can now display annotated marks for certain values. Changes in GtkStatusIcon - GTK+ uses an extension of the tray icon specification to negotiate RGBA support. This is also supported by the GNOME panel. - GtkStatusIcon now supports scroll events, middle clicks and rich tooltips if the platform allows it. Changes in file chooser - The file chooser can optionally show file sizes. - Volumes are mounted when necessary. - GTK+ remembers the file chooser's window size across invocations. - Non-local uris can be entered in the location entry. Changes in printing support - Page rendering can be deferred to a thread. Internationalization support - Keyboard shortcut handling has been changed, to help with a longstanding complaint about the way in which GTK+ handles multiple keyboard layouts. GTK+ now only uses keys from groups other than the current group if they are not present in the current group. GDK changes - GdkKeymap emits a state-changed signal when the Caps Lock state changes. - There is a predefined type for blank cursors, GDK_BLANK_CURSOR.
