To: gtk-list@gnome.org, gnome-announce-list@gnome.org Subject: GTK+-1.2.9 Released From: Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com> Date: 02 Mar 2001 16:22:55 -0500 GTK+-1.2.9 is now available from: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/ This is a primarily a bug-fix release, and is binary and source compatible with GTK+-1.2.8. It also includes some useability improvements, and a new experimental API to allow better looking and more robust theme engines. About GTK+ ========== GTK+ is a toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. A large number of general purpose widgets are included and new types of widgets can easily be created; many more are available in add-on libraries. GTK+ has a C-based object-oriented architecture that allows for maximum flexibility. It is easy to use from C, and bindings also exist for over a dozen other programming languages. GTK+ was created as the part for the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) project and is now used for many other free software and commercial products, including the GNOME desktop. GTK+ is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. For more information about GTK+, see: http://www.gtk.org Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.9: ================================== * Move include files into a gtk-1-2/ subdir to support parallel installation with GTK+-2.0. If you are installing from source on top of a previous version, you should to remove $(includedir)/gdk/ and $(includedir)/gtk/ manually before installing the new version. * Improved submenu navigation. * Other small useability improvements for menus, scrollbars, etc. * Patch enabling themes with better appearance by making some geometry parameters settable. * Changes so that using fonts (as well as fontsets) for non-iso-8859-1 locales will work. * New --with-native-locale configure option for faster string handling on systems with non-broken locale support. * Refuse to initialize GTK+ when setuid (http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html) * Change to make GdkRGB use less SHM segments. * Addition of .pc files * Many bug fixes (#50834, #50892, #13447, #50857, #1923, #50934, #3123, #51163, #50492, #51026, #1704, #51039, #2682, #50964, #50926, #50686, #50678, #50511, #8170, #567, #424, #1290, #4524, #8041, #8002, #7302, #11008, #34218, #12074, #12072, #9656, #10316, #14082, #13941, #13432, #7841, #6739, #8079, #28842, #50290, #50337, #6510, #15282, #11887, #18648, #26545, and others) Installation Note: ================== Between GTK+-1.2.8 and GTK+-1.2.9, the include files for GTK+ have been moved to $(includedir)/gtk-1-2/ to allow parallel installations of GTK+-1.2 and GTK+-2.0 to work correctly. If you are installing on top of an old installation of GTK+, you should remove the directories: $(includedir)/gtk/ $(includedir)/gdk/ Before running 'make install'. Some other libraries that depend on GTK+ may also hard-code the GTK+ header file location into their configuration files and may need to be rebuilt to work correctly with GTK+-1.2.9. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list From gtk-list-admin@gnome.org Fri Mar 2 15:30:11 2001 Return-Path: <gtk-list-admin@gnome.org> Received: from localhost (IDENT:mjhammel@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by feynman.graphics-muse.org (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id PAA23715 for <mjhammel@localhost>; Fri, 2 Mar 2001 15:30:11 -0600 Delivered-To: mjhammel@graphics-muse.org Received: from graphics-muse.com [216.17.150.54] by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-5.4.3) for mjhammel@localhost (single-drop); Fri, 02 Mar 2001 15:30:11 -0600 (CST) Received: (qmail 26731 invoked from network); 2 Mar 2001 21:25:15 -0000 Received: from menu.gnome.org (HELO mail.gnome.org) (209.116.70.71) by www.graphics-muse.com with SMTP; 2 Mar 2001 21:25:15 -0000 Received: from mail.gnome.org (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by mail.gnome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3EA882E79F; Fri, 2 Mar 2001 16:25:16 -0500 (EST) Delivered-To: gtk-list@gnome.org Received: from fresnel.labs.redhat.com (unknown [199.183.24.200]) by mail.gnome.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B34342BC87; Fri, 2 Mar 2001 16:22:55 -0500 (EST) Received: by fresnel.labs.redhat.com (Postfix, from userid 2181) id 442072425FA; Fri, 2 Mar 2001 16:22:55 -0500 (EST) To: gtk-list@gnome.org, gnome-announce-list@gnome.org Reply-To: gtk-list@gnome.org Subject: GTK+-1.2.9 Released From: Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com> Date: 02 Mar 2001 16:22:55 -0500 Message-ID: <ybeofvj50i8.fsf@fresnel.labs.redhat.com> Lines: 71 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0807 (Gnus v5.8.7) Emacs/20.7 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: gtk-list-admin@gnome.org Errors-To: gtk-list-admin@gnome.org X-BeenThere: gtk-list@gnome.org X-Loop: gtk-list@gnome.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0beta5 Precedence: bulk List-Id: General discussion of GTK+ <gtk-list.gnome.org> Status: RO GTK+-1.2.9 is now available from: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/ This is a primarily a bug-fix release, and is binary and source compatible with GTK+-1.2.8.
