119 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
121 * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
122 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
123 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
124 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
125 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
126 * The tutorial has been updated again.
127 * Changes to menus including tearoff menus and accelerators.
128 * Better support for modal dialogs.
129 * Removed CAN_FOCUS by default from scrollbars and button children of toolbar.
130 * More improvements and fixes for GtkCList and GtkCTree (i.e. row sorting).
131 * GtkCTree rows can be unselectable now.
132 * The GtkCTree API has undergone major renames (see ChangeLog entry from Lars
133 Hamann on Tue Aug 18 00:29:13 1998).
134 * A bunch of varargs functions changed to get va_lists working on systems that
135 implement va_lists as arrays.
136 * Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
137 * Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
138 don't leak colors anymore.

168 * New widget GtkFontSelector.
169 * New featurefull progress bar.
170 * New container widget GtkPacker.
171 * New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
172 * New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
173 * New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and

175 * Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
176 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
177 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
178 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
179 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
180 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
181 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
182 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
183 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
184 * Buttons support relief styles now.
185 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
186 * Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
187 test for certain API features upon program compilation.
188 * Child arguments support for container widgets.
189 * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
190 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
191 need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
192 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
193 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
194 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
195 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
197 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
198 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
200 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
201 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.

207 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
208 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
209 the masses of changes.
