316 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.3.1:
318 * GTK+ now uses the Pango library for text manipulation. All
319 strings in GTK+ now are in Unicode, languages written
320 from right-to-left, and complex-text languages are now supported.
321 * The gdk-pixbuf library for image loading and manipulation is
322 has been integrated with GTK+.
323 * The GTK+ object system has mostly been moved to GLib, separating
324 it from the GUI code. Many significant enhancements have been
325 made as part of this.
326 * A new text widget is now included. This started as a port
327 of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk
328 text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It
329 has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the
331 * The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
332 windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
333 is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
334 Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
335 and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in
336 before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
337 * 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
338 (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)
339 * Many minor bug fixes and enhancements. Incompatible changes
340 are documented in docs/Changes-2.0.txt
342 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.8:
344 * GNU Make 3.79 bug workaround
345 * FAQ and tutorial updates and improvements
346 * Miscellaneous bug fixes: CList, Calendar, rc-files, FontSelection

371 * more miscellaneous bugs fixed
372 * new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable
373 rebuilds of autogenerated sources.
374 * check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due
375 to old perl versions.
376 * fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
377 * more autogeneration make rules and dependancy fixups, we should be
378 save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
379 * new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
380 GtkWindow on every size change.
381 * major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
382 races with the new resizing code.
383 * the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
384 it only lacks testing ;)
385 * fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
386 * gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
387 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
388 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
389 The code should typically look like:
390 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
392 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
393 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
394 * fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
395 * GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.

429 * Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrive object arguments easily.
430 The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
431 * Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
432 problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
433 systems with a native poll().
434 * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
436 * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
437 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
438 time a transparent pixmap is created.
439 * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
441 * Other minor bug fixes.
443 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
445 * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
446 * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
447 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
448 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
449 menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
450 * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
451 * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
453 What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x):

470 * Tutorial improvements
473 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.16:
475 * Major fixes and improvements for handlebox
476 * A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now,
477 widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
478 unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
479 This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
480 * Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
481 * Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries
482 * --enable-debug is now on by default for the development releaes.
483 (When compiling for "production", use --enable-debug=minimum)
484 * Handle systems where Helvetica is not present more gracefully
485 * Fixes for memory leaks
486 * CList and CTree fixes
487 * Bug fixes for drawing problems.
488 * Miscellaneous bug fixes to GtkLabel, GtkCList, GtkCTree,

500 * Additions to docs/Changes-1.2.txt
501 * Just warn when loading theme engine fails
502 * CLAMP GtkScale digits to a meaningful range

507 * Some locale fixups in gtkrc code
508 * Fixes to make gtk_radio_button_set_group() keep only
509 one radio button in the group active
510 * Foreign windows are now always treated as viewable; this fixes
511 a problem where updating didn't occure properly in GtkPlug
512 * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
514 * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
515 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
516 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
517 of allocating directly in a put() or move()
519 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
521 * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
522 * Widget sensitivity fixups.
523 * Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules
524 can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW
526 * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
527 * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
528 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
529 got minorly improved as well.
530 * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
531 expose event generation.
532 * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
534 * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
535 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
536 check() or prepare() anymore.
537 * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
538 * Improved session management support in Gdk.
539 * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.
540 * Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview.
541 * Gtk+ development now requires GNU autoconf 2.13, GNU automake 1.4

578 that has been added to GLib 1.1.8
579 * Added 'grab_focus' signal to allow keyboard accelerators

584 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.7:
586 * Fixed memory mis-allocation in default files code
587 * Various event handling fixes

677 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
679 * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
680 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
681 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
682 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
683 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
684 * The tutorial has been updated again.
685 * Changes to menus including tearoff menus and accelerators.
686 * Better support for modal dialogs.
687 * Removed CAN_FOCUS by default from scrollbars and button children of toolbar.

691 Hamann on Tue Aug 18 00:29:13 1998).
692 * A bunch of varargs functions changed to get va_lists working on systems that
693 implement va_lists as arrays.
694 * Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
695 * Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
696 don't leak colors anymore.

734 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
735 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
736 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
737 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
738 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
739 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
740 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
741 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
742 * Buttons support relief styles now.
743 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
744 * Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
745 test for certain API features upon program compilation.
746 * Child arguments support for container widgets.
747 * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
748 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
749 need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
750 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
751 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
752 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
753 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
755 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
756 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
758 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
759 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.

766 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
767 the masses of changes.
