216 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.3.1:
218 * GTK+ now uses the Pango library for text manipulation. All
219 strings in GTK+ now are in Unicode, languages written
220 from right-to-left, and complex-text languages are now supported.
221 * The gdk-pixbuf library for image loading and manipulation is
222 has been integrated with GTK+.
223 * The GTK+ object system has mostly been moved to GLib, separating
224 it from the GUI code. Many significant enhancements have been
225 made as part of this.
226 * A new text widget is now included. This started as a port
227 of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk
228 text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It
229 has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the
231 * The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
232 windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
233 is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
234 Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
235 and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in
236 before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
237 * 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
238 (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)
239 * Many minor bug fixes and enhancements. Incompatible changes
240 are documented in docs/Changes-2.0.txt

266 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.5:
268 * more GtkCTree and GtkWindow bug fixes.
269 * more redraw/resize queue fixes, better expose event
271 * more miscellaneous bugs fixed
272 * new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable
273 rebuilds of autogenerated sources.
274 * check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due
275 to old perl versions.
276 * fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
277 * more autogeneration make rules and dependancy fixups, we should be
278 save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
279 * new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
280 GtkWindow on every size change.
281 * major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
282 races with the new resizing code.
283 * the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
284 it only lacks testing ;)
285 * fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
286 * gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
287 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
288 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
289 The code should typically look like:
290 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
292 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
293 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
294 * fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
295 * GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.
296 * Better handling for unexpected window destroys in GDK and GTK+.
297 This should make it possible to use a GtkPlug and catch the
298 case where its parent socket is randomly killed.

329 * Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrive object arguments easily.
330 The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
331 * Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
332 problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
333 systems with a native poll().
334 * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
336 * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
337 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
338 time a transparent pixmap is created.
339 * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
341 * Other minor bug fixes.
343 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
345 * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
346 * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
347 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
348 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
349 menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
350 * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
351 * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
353 What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x):

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

385 * Fixes for memory leaks
386 * CList and CTree fixes
387 * Bug fixes for drawing problems.

411 a problem where updating didn't occure properly in GtkPlug
412 * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
414 * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
415 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
416 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
417 of allocating directly in a put() or move()
419 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
421 * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
422 * Widget sensitivity fixups.
423 * Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules
424 can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW
426 * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
427 * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
428 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
429 got minorly improved as well.
430 * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
431 expose event generation.
432 * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
434 * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
435 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
436 check() or prepare() anymore.
437 * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
438 * Improved session management support in Gdk.
439 * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.
440 * Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview.

597 * Improved internal widget tree iterators (the GtkContainer::foreach signal
598 vanished because of this).
599 * Option menus can have the keyboard focus now.
600 * More fixups to the text widget.
601 * GtkFileSelection should behave much more nicely in combination with AFS now.
602 * Support for label underlining.
603 * Support for GLib 1.1.3 log domains.
604 * Documentation improvements.
605 * Configuration fixes on various platforms.
606 * Miscellaneous fixes to XInput support.
607 * Build with shared library dependencies on Linux
608 * Fix for a major bug in the type systems memory allocation code that could
609 cause random crashes.
610 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
611 * Lots of bugfixes and cleanups again ;)
614 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.1:
616 * Tutorial updates and additions.
617 * Key binding support for GtkListItems and GtkList.
618 * Extended selection mode and autoscrolling for GtkLists.
619 * A GtkCtree now operates on GtkCTreeNode* structures rather than GList*.
620 * GtkCTreeNodes can now be created from GNode trees.
621 * Bug fixes for GtkNotebook, GtkCList, GtkCombo and GdkWindow reparentation.
624 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0:
626 * New widget GtkFontSelector.
627 * New featurefull progress bar.
628 * New container widget GtkPacker.
629 * New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
630 * New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
631 * New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and
632 and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList.
633 * Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
634 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
635 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
636 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
637 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
638 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
639 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
640 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
641 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
642 * Buttons support relief styles now.
643 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
644 * Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
645 test for certain API features upon program compilation.
646 * Child arguments support for container widgets.
647 * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
648 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
649 need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
650 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
651 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
652 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
653 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
655 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
656 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
658 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
659 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.
660 * GtkButton derives from GtkBin (finally).
661 * More descriptive error messages on rc parsing.
662 * Runtime information is available to query enum/flag definition values.
663 * Upgrade to libtool-1.2
664 * Legions of bug fixes, memory leaks, segfaults, of-by-something errors...
665 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
666 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
667 the masses of changes.
