Hi, The previous message thread on this topic some weeks ago had lots of noise and no clear answer. Though I think it did raise some awareness to the problem.
Recently I have seen many Mantis reports regarding GTK1 marked as resolved (about 3-5 of mine in the last 7 days) without actually fixing those bugs. Many of them were closed with comments goes something like this: GTK1 cannot compile anymore and has been marked deprecated. Well, if it cannot compile, then why not simply remove the GTK1 option from the IDE wigetset list - it is clearly not being maintained any more and is broken more often than not. For those die-hard developers that must continue to use GTK1 - continue using 0.9.28.3 until you can upgrade to GTK2. Life evolves, so should your project. But it's rather pointless having a widgetset marked "deprecated" (already a good starting point) in the widgetset list, when it fact it cannot even be compiled any more. I vote to simply remove it completely from the widgetset list. No point in having something marked "deprecated" in Beta software either. I think the Lazarus project is the first to ever do this (at least from all project I have ever seen). :-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
