1 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.6:
3 * The signal system now features emission hooks whith special semantics,
4 refer to the ChangeLog for this.
5 * Minor? speedups and memory reductions to the emission handling of the
7 * _interp() function variants are deprecated now. the corresponding *_full()
8 variants are provided for a long time now.
9 * Dnd abort timeout increased to 10 minutes.
10 * GtkScrolledWindow inherits from GtkBin now.
11 * GTK_POLICY_NEVER is implemented for scrolled windows now.
12 * Lots of API clean ups.
13 * Incremental freezing abilities.
14 * Integrated widgets from the GNOME tree: GtkLayout, GtkPlug and GtkSocket.
15 * Read doc/Changes-1.2 to properly adapt your code.
18 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.5:

27 * Implementation of expose compression
28 * Queued redraws of partial areas
29 * Scrolledwindow (+Viewport) source incompatibilities, children that are added
30 to a scrolled window don't get an automatic viewport anymore. a convenience
31 function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() is suplied for this task
32 * Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about
33 the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions
34 * Non-functional functions got removed entirely
35 * gtk_widget_new() and gtk_object_new() will now auto-construct new objects.
36 A new function gtk_object_default_construct() is provided now which should
37 be called after every gtk_type_new() to perfom the auto-construction
38 * Improved argument support of several widgets
41 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.3:
43 * GtkCList/GtkCTree now have the ability to:
44 - hide/show individual columns
45 - disable/enable column resizing
46 - set min and max for column widths
47 - set expander style of the ctree
48 - set/get row and cell styles
49 - set spacing between tree expander and cell contents in ctree
50 - toggle auto_resize for columns
51 * Must enhanced DND support, removed old DND code

61 events to a widget's event mask
62 * New function gdk_event_get_time to get the timestamp from a generic
64 * New widget GtkCalendar
65 * New widget GtkInvisible - InputOnly offscreen windows used for reliable
66 pointer grabs and selection handling in DND code
67 * New functions gtk_object_remove_no_notify[_by_id] to remove a certain
68 data portion without invokation of its destroy notifier
69 * gtk_spin_button_construct is now deprecated, use gtk_spin_button_configure
71 * gtk_clist_set_border is now deprecated, use gtk_clist_set_shadow_type
73 * Removed functions gtk_object_set_data_destroy[_by_id]
74 * Documentation additions/updates
75 * HTML and plain text files are now included in the distribution
76 * Bug fixes, typeness corrections, and general fixups
78 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
80 * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
81 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
82 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
83 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
84 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
85 * The tutorial has been updated again.
86 * Changes to menus including tearoff menus and accelerators.
87 * Better support for modal dialogs.
88 * Removed CAN_FOCUS by default from scrollbars and button children of toolbar.
89 * More improvements and fixes for GtkCList and GtkCTree (i.e. row sorting).
90 * GtkCTree rows can be unselectable now.
91 * The GtkCTree API has undergone major renames (see ChangeLog entry from Lars
92 Hamann on Tue Aug 18 00:29:13 1998).
93 * A bunch of varargs functions changed to get va_lists working on systems that
94 implement va_lists as arrays.
95 * Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
96 * Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
97 don't leak colors anymore.
98 * Improved internal widget tree iterators (the GtkContainer::foreach signal
99 vanished because of this).
100 * Option menus can have the keyboard focus now.
101 * More fixups to the text widget.
102 * GtkFileSelection should behave much more nicely in combination with AFS now.
103 * Support for label underlining.
104 * Support for GLib 1.1.3 log domains.
105 * Documentation improvements.
106 * Configuration fixes on various platforms.
107 * Miscellaneous fixes to XInput support.
108 * Build with shared library dependencies on Linux
109 * Fix for a major bug in the type systems memory allocation code that could
110 cause random crashes.
111 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
112 * Lots of bugfixes and cleanups again ;)
115 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.1:
117 * Tutorial updates and additions.
118 * Key binding support for GtkListItems and GtkList.
119 * Extended selection mode and autoscrolling for GtkLists.
120 * A GtkCtree now operates on GtkCTreeNode* structures rather than GList*.
121 * GtkCTreeNodes can now be created from GNode trees.
122 * Bug fixes for GtkNotebook, GtkCList, GtkCombo and GdkWindow reparentation.
125 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0:
127 * New widget GtkFontSelector.
128 * New featurefull progress bar.
129 * New container widget GtkPacker.
130 * New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
131 * New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
132 * New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and
133 and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList.
134 * Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
135 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
136 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
137 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
138 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
139 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
140 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
141 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
142 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
143 * Buttons support relief styles now.
144 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
145 * Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
146 test for certain API features upon program compilation.
147 * Child arguments support for container widgets.
148 * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
149 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
150 need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
151 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
152 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
153 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
154 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
156 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
157 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
159 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
160 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.
161 * GtkButton derives from GtkBin (finally).
162 * More descriptive error messages on rc parsing.
163 * Runtime information is available to query enum/flag definition values.
164 * Upgrade to libtool-1.2
165 * Legions of bug fixes, memory leaks, segfaults, of-by-something errors...
166 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
167 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
168 the masses of changes.
