173 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.3.1:
175 * GTK+ now uses the Pango library for text manipulation. All
176 strings in GTK+ now are in Unicode, languages written
177 from right-to-left, and complex-text languages are now supported.
178 * The gdk-pixbuf library for image loading and manipulation is
179 has been integrated with GTK+.
180 * The GTK+ object system has mostly been moved to GLib, separating
181 it from the GUI code. Many significant enhancements have been
182 made as part of this.
183 * A new text widget is now included. This started as a port
184 of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk
185 text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It
186 has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the
188 * The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
189 windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
190 is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
191 Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
192 and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in
193 before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
194 * 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
195 (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)
196 * Many minor bug fixes and enhancements. Incompatible changes
197 are documented in docs/Changes-2.0.txt

223 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.5:
225 * more GtkCTree and GtkWindow bug fixes.
226 * more redraw/resize queue fixes, better expose event
228 * more miscellaneous bugs fixed
229 * new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable
230 rebuilds of autogenerated sources.
231 * check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due
232 to old perl versions.
233 * fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
234 * more autogeneration make rules and dependancy fixups, we should be
235 save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
236 * new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
237 GtkWindow on every size change.
238 * major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
239 races with the new resizing code.
240 * the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
241 it only lacks testing ;)
242 * fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
243 * gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
244 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
245 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
246 The code should typically look like:
247 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
249 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
250 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
251 * fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
252 * GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.
253 * Better handling for unexpected window destroys in GDK and GTK+.
254 This should make it possible to use a GtkPlug and catch the
255 case where its parent socket is randomly killed.
257 * FileSelection i18n patches, RadioButton fixups.
258 * many translation improvements.
259 * miscellaneous other bugs fixed.

286 * Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrive object arguments easily.
287 The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
288 * Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
289 problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
290 systems with a native poll().
291 * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
293 * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
294 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
295 time a transparent pixmap is created.
296 * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
298 * Other minor bug fixes.
300 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
302 * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
303 * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
304 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
305 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
306 menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
307 * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
308 * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
310 What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x):

333 * A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now,
334 widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
335 unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
336 This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
337 * Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
338 * Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries
339 * --enable-debug is now on by default for the development releaes.

342 * Fixes for memory leaks
343 * CList and CTree fixes
344 * Bug fixes for drawing problems.

368 a problem where updating didn't occure properly in GtkPlug
369 * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
371 * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
372 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
373 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
374 of allocating directly in a put() or move()
376 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
378 * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
379 * Widget sensitivity fixups.

383 * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
384 * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
385 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
386 got minorly improved as well.
387 * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
388 expose event generation.
389 * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
391 * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
392 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
393 check() or prepare() anymore.
394 * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
395 * Improved session management support in Gdk.
396 * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.

595 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
596 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
597 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
598 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
599 * Buttons support relief styles now.
600 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
601 * Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
602 test for certain API features upon program compilation.
603 * Child arguments support for container widgets.
604 * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
605 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
606 need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
607 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
608 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
609 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
610 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
612 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
613 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
615 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
616 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.
617 * GtkButton derives from GtkBin (finally).
618 * More descriptive error messages on rc parsing.
619 * Runtime information is available to query enum/flag definition values.
620 * Upgrade to libtool-1.2
621 * Legions of bug fixes, memory leaks, segfaults, of-by-something errors...
622 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
623 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
624 the masses of changes.
