GTK+ 2.17.3 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.17/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.17/ md5 sums: ce2a5051122717a4b6bdda1d2df4ce27 gtk+-2.17.3.tar.bz2 0adfb7ada77eec0055319620ab63309a gtk+-2.17.3.tar.gz sha1 sums: 1814f2defa8ea41c88a11a2b9315a54c7c251383 gtk+-2.17.3.tar.bz2 4e4b430f08771f517071905cc4876f8b28015bfc gtk+-2.17.3.tar.gz This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.18. Notes: * This is an unstable development release. It has had only little testing and there are unfinished features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should definitively not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.16. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.16. * GTK+ 2.18 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.16 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.18 release. * 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. Where to get more information about GTK+ ======================================== Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+ 2.x is found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-question-index.html http://www.gtk.org/faq/ Contributing ============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions. We are actively searching for new contributors in various areas and invite everyone to help project development. If you are willing to participate, please subscribe to the project mailing lists to offer your help and read over our list of vacant project tasks: http://live.gnome.org/GtkTasks Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.17.2 to 2.17.3 ============================================== * GtkFileChooser: - Shows the size column by default now * GtkStatusIcon: - Has a title property, which can be used by ATs when they read status icons * GtkInfoBar: - The default theme now includes color definitions for infobars - The ::use-tooltip-style style property has been removed * GtkMountOperation now supports interaction during unmount operations. * The client-side windows branch has been merged; GDK now maintains its own window hierarchy client-side, and only uses X windows where unavoidable. Some of the benefits of this change are - Reduced flicker - The ability to do transformed and animated rendering of widgets - Easier embedding of GTK+ widgets e.g. into Clutter scene graphs This is a fundamental change to the way GDK works, so watch out for regressions. * Bugs fixed: 586315 Crash in GTK+ 2.14 when calling gtk.FileChooser.list_shor... 461944 pressing the volume icon in full screen shuts down the sound 490724 iconview item's height would be changed event with same m... 564063 regression: Left margin in popup menus 582025 Accelerators fail for submenus 585626 Setting widget tooltip hammers X11 server on any TCP/IP X... 585802 Add API to make GtkStatusIcon accessible with a name 585858 right-click Add-to-Booksmarks is sometimes greyed out 586330 GtkButton ignores user_underline when an image is set 318807 Offscreen windows and window redirection 587716 GtkInfoBar broken on resize 587485 GMountOperation::show-processes support * Updated translations Brazilian Portuguese Estonian Hebrew Spanish Swedish Vietnamese Thanks to all contributors: Vincent Untz Benjamin Otte Federico Mena Quintero Ryan Lortie Tristan van Berkom Bastien Nocera Stanislav Brabec Michael Natterer David Zeuthen Alexander Larsson Cody Russell Hans Breuer July 7, 2009 Matthias Clasen
