856 * The gdk-pixbuf library for image loading and manipulation is
857 has been integrated with GTK+.
858 * The GTK+ object system has mostly been moved to GLib, separating
859 it from the GUI code. Many significant enhancements have been
860 made as part of this.
861 * A new text widget is now included. This started as a port
862 of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk
863 text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It
864 has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the
866 * The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
867 windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
868 is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
869 Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
870 and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in
871 before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
872 * 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
873 (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)
874 * Many minor bug fixes and enhancements. Incompatible changes
875 are documented in docs/Changes-2.0.txt

906 * more miscellaneous bugs fixed
907 * new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable
908 rebuilds of autogenerated sources.
909 * check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due
910 to old perl versions.
911 * fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
912 * more autogeneration make rules and dependancy fixups, we should be
913 save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
914 * new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
915 GtkWindow on every size change.
916 * major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
917 races with the new resizing code.
918 * the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
919 it only lacks testing ;)
920 * fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
921 * gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
922 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
923 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
924 The code should typically look like:
925 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
927 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
928 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
929 * fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
930 * GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.

964 * Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrive object arguments easily.
965 The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
966 * Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
967 problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
968 systems with a native poll().
969 * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
971 * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
972 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
973 time a transparent pixmap is created.
974 * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
976 * Other minor bug fixes.
978 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
980 * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
981 * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
982 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
983 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
984 menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
985 * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
986 * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
988 What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x):

1005 * Tutorial improvements
1008 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.16:
1010 * Major fixes and improvements for handlebox
1011 * A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now,
1012 widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
1013 unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
1014 This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
1015 * Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
1016 * Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries
1017 * --enable-debug is now on by default for the development releaes.

1019 * Handle systems where Helvetica is not present more gracefully
1020 * Fixes for memory leaks
1021 * CList and CTree fixes
1022 * Bug fixes for drawing problems.

1043 * Fixes to make gtk_radio_button_set_group() keep only
1044 one radio button in the group active
1045 * Foreign windows are now always treated as viewable; this fixes
1046 a problem where updating didn't occure properly in GtkPlug
1047 * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
1049 * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
1050 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
1051 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
1052 of allocating directly in a put() or move()
1054 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
1056 * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
1057 * Widget sensitivity fixups.
1058 * Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules
1059 can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW
1061 * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
1062 * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
1063 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
1064 got minorly improved as well.
1065 * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
1066 expose event generation.
1067 * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
1069 * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
1070 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
1071 check() or prepare() anymore.
1072 * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
1073 * Improved session management support in Gdk.
1074 * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.

1165 function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() is suplied for this task
1166 * Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about
1167 the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions
1168 * Non-functional functions got removed entirely
1169 * gtk_widget_new() and gtk_object_new() will now auto-construct new objects.
1170 A new function gtk_object_default_construct() is provided now which should
1171 be called after every gtk_type_new() to perfom the auto-construction

1212 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
1214 * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
1215 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
1216 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
1217 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
1218 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.

1228 implement va_lists as arrays.
1229 * Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
1230 * Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
1231 don't leak colors anymore.

1262 * New featurefull progress bar.
1263 * New container widget GtkPacker.
1264 * New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
1265 * New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
1266 * New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and
1267 and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList.
1268 * Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
1269 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
1270 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
1271 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
1272 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
1273 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).

1285 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
1286 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
1287 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
1288 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
1290 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
1291 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
1293 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base

1300 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
1301 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
1302 the masses of changes.
