This is a bug fix release in the stable 2.24 series.
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.
Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.24.7 to 2.24.8
==
* Win32 updates:
Major update of the win32 backend, it now works
at least as well as the old 2.16.x version that
a lot of windows applications was forced to use
Some particular highlights:
- Tablet support (wintab) works
- The MS-Windows theme works better, and is enabled
by default on Windows
- Pointer grabs on button press now works
- Initial Window positioning is improved and now
works very similarly to the X11 backend
- Scrolling a window with another window overlapping it
doesn't produce rendering artifacts on XP
- Configure event delivery after window move or resize
is much more robust, fixing a variety of rendering hangs
and misbehaviours
- Scrolling with synaptics touchpads work better
* OS X updates:
- Add Command-cursor keyboard navigation in text widgets
- Fix loss of motion events after using the menu bar
- Handle recursive CFRunLoops, fixing e.g. crashes
when dropping files from finder
- Set proper event-state values in all events
* Ensure that the MOD1 modifier always means ALT, as this
assumption is already used in many places in Gtk+
* Search engine backend updated to Tracker 0.12
* Bugs fixed:
