551 * new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
552 GtkWindow on every size change.
553 * major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
554 races with the new resizing code.
555 * the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
556 it only lacks testing ;)
557 * fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
558 * gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
559 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
560 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
561 The code should typically look like:
562 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
564 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
565 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
566 * fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
567 * GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.
568 * Better handling for unexpected window destroys in GDK and GTK+.
569 This should make it possible to use a GtkPlug and catch the
570 case where its parent socket is randomly killed.
572 * FileSelection i18n patches, RadioButton fixups.
573 * many translation improvements.
574 * miscellaneous other bugs fixed.
576 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.4:

579 * suppressed configure event reordering in Gdk.
580 * rewrite of Gtk's configure event handling.
581 * major improvements for the object argument system (Elena Devdariani).
582 * major bugfixes for threading, GtkNotebook, GtkItemFactory, GtkCList and
584 * tutorial/FAQ updates, new file generation.txt on autogenerated sources.
585 * configure's --with-glib= is "officially" unsupported.
586 * upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.
587 * various buglets fixed.
589 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.3:
591 * Upgrade to libtool 1.3
592 * Check for dgettext (for systems with old versions of GNU Gettext)

601 * Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrive object arguments easily.
602 The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
603 * Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
604 problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
605 systems with a native poll().
606 * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
608 * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
609 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
610 time a transparent pixmap is created.
611 * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
613 * Other minor bug fixes.
615 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
617 * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
618 * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
619 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
620 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
621 menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
622 * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
623 * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.

642 * Tutorial improvements
645 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.16:
647 * Major fixes and improvements for handlebox
648 * A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now,
649 widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
650 unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
651 This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
652 * Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
653 * Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries
654 * --enable-debug is now on by default for the development releaes.
655 (When compiling for "production", use --enable-debug=minimum)
656 * Handle systems where Helvetica is not present more gracefully
657 * Fixes for memory leaks
658 * CList and CTree fixes
659 * Bug fixes for drawing problems.
660 * Miscellaneous bug fixes to GtkLabel, GtkCList, GtkCTree,
661 GtkColorsel, Focusing, DND
662 * Tutorial improvements
664 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.15:
667 * Added --libs gthread to gtk-config
670 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.14:
672 * Additions to docs/Changes-1.2.txt
673 * Just warn when loading theme engine fails
674 * CLAMP GtkScale digits to a meaningful range
675 * GTK_LOCALDIR is now defined in a better fashion
676 * New functions (feature freeze, we know...):
678 gtk_toggle_button_get_active()
679 * Some locale fixups in gtkrc code
680 * Fixes to make gtk_radio_button_set_group() keep only
681 one radio button in the group active
682 * Foreign windows are now always treated as viewable; this fixes
683 a problem where updating didn't occure properly in GtkPlug
684 * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
686 * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
687 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
688 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
689 of allocating directly in a put() or move()
691 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
693 * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
694 * Widget sensitivity fixups.
695 * Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules
696 can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW
698 * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
699 * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
700 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
701 got minorly improved as well.
702 * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
703 expose event generation.
704 * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
706 * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
707 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
708 check() or prepare() anymore.
709 * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
710 * Improved session management support in Gdk.
711 * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.
712 * Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview.

748 remove the need for GTK+ to set up signal handlers.
749 * Re-implemented event loop in terms of the event loop
750 that has been added to GLib 1.1.8
751 * Added 'grab_focus' signal to allow keyboard accelerators
753 * Load locale specific RC files if present.

770 refer to the ChangeLog for this.
771 * Minor? speedups and memory reductions to the emission handling of the
773 * _interp() function variants are deprecated now. the corresponding *_full()
774 variants are provided for a long time now.

797 * gtkfilesel now supports automounters better
798 * Implementation of expose compression
799 * Queued redraws of partial areas
800 * Scrolledwindow (+Viewport) source incompatibilities, children that are added
801 to a scrolled window don't get an automatic viewport anymore. a convenience
802 function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() is suplied for this task
803 * Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about
804 the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions
805 * Non-functional functions got removed entirely
806 * gtk_widget_new() and gtk_object_new() will now auto-construct new objects.

808 be called after every gtk_type_new() to perfom the auto-construction
809 * Improved argument support of several widgets
812 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.3:
814 * GtkCList/GtkCTree now have the ability to:
815 - hide/show individual columns
816 - disable/enable column resizing

849 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
851 * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
852 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
853 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
854 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
855 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
856 * The tutorial has been updated again.

864 * A bunch of varargs functions changed to get va_lists working on systems that
865 implement va_lists as arrays.
866 * Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
867 * Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
868 don't leak colors anymore.

901 * New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
902 * New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
903 * New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and
904 and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList.
905 * Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
906 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
907 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
908 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
909 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
910 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
911 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
912 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
913 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
914 * Buttons support relief styles now.
915 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
