291 * The gdk-pixbuf library for image loading and manipulation is
292 has been integrated with GTK+.
293 * The GTK+ object system has mostly been moved to GLib, separating
294 it from the GUI code. Many significant enhancements have been
295 made as part of this.
296 * A new text widget is now included. This started as a port
297 of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk
298 text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It
299 has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the
301 * The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
302 windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
303 is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
304 Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
305 and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in
306 before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
307 * 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
308 (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)

345 to old perl versions.
346 * fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
347 * more autogeneration make rules and dependancy fixups, we should be
348 save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
349 * new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
350 GtkWindow on every size change.
351 * major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
352 races with the new resizing code.
353 * the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
354 it only lacks testing ;)
355 * fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
356 * gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
357 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
358 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
359 The code should typically look like:
360 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
362 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
363 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
364 * fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
365 * GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.

402 problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
403 systems with a native poll().
404 * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
406 * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
407 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
408 time a transparent pixmap is created.
409 * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
411 * Other minor bug fixes.
413 Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
415 * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
416 * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
417 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
418 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
419 menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
420 * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
421 * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.

447 widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
448 unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
449 This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
450 * Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
451 * Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries

455 * Fixes for memory leaks
456 * CList and CTree fixes
457 * Bug fixes for drawing problems.

482 * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
484 * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
485 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
486 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
487 of allocating directly in a put() or move()
489 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
491 * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.

496 * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
497 * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
498 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
499 got minorly improved as well.
500 * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
501 expose event generation.
502 * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
504 * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
505 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
506 check() or prepare() anymore.
507 * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
508 * Improved session management support in Gdk.
509 * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.
510 * Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview.

596 * Implementation of expose compression
597 * Queued redraws of partial areas
598 * Scrolledwindow (+Viewport) source incompatibilities, children that are added
599 to a scrolled window don't get an automatic viewport anymore. a convenience
600 function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() is suplied for this task
601 * Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about
602 the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions
603 * Non-functional functions got removed entirely
604 * gtk_widget_new() and gtk_object_new() will now auto-construct new objects.
605 A new function gtk_object_default_construct() is provided now which should
606 be called after every gtk_type_new() to perfom the auto-construction
607 * Improved argument support of several widgets
610 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.3:
612 * GtkCList/GtkCTree now have the ability to:
613 - hide/show individual columns
614 - disable/enable column resizing
615 - set min and max for column widths
616 - set expander style of the ctree
617 - set/get row and cell styles
618 - set spacing between tree expander and cell contents in ctree
619 - toggle auto_resize for columns
620 * Must enhanced DND support, removed old DND code

630 events to a widget's event mask
631 * New function gdk_event_get_time to get the timestamp from a generic
633 * New widget GtkCalendar
634 * New widget GtkInvisible - InputOnly offscreen windows used for reliable
635 pointer grabs and selection handling in DND code
636 * New functions gtk_object_remove_no_notify[_by_id] to remove a certain
637 data portion without invokation of its destroy notifier
638 * gtk_spin_button_construct is now deprecated, use gtk_spin_button_configure
640 * gtk_clist_set_border is now deprecated, use gtk_clist_set_shadow_type
642 * Removed functions gtk_object_set_data_destroy[_by_id]
643 * Documentation additions/updates
644 * HTML and plain text files are now included in the distribution
645 * Bug fixes, typeness corrections, and general fixups
647 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
649 * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
650 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
651 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
652 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
653 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
654 * The tutorial has been updated again.
655 * Changes to menus including tearoff menus and accelerators.
656 * Better support for modal dialogs.
657 * Removed CAN_FOCUS by default from scrollbars and button children of toolbar.
658 * More improvements and fixes for GtkCList and GtkCTree (i.e. row sorting).
659 * GtkCTree rows can be unselectable now.
660 * The GtkCTree API has undergone major renames (see ChangeLog entry from Lars
661 Hamann on Tue Aug 18 00:29:13 1998).
662 * A bunch of varargs functions changed to get va_lists working on systems that
663 implement va_lists as arrays.
664 * Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
665 * Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
666 don't leak colors anymore.
667 * Improved internal widget tree iterators (the GtkContainer::foreach signal
668 vanished because of this).
669 * Option menus can have the keyboard focus now.
670 * More fixups to the text widget.
671 * GtkFileSelection should behave much more nicely in combination with AFS now.
672 * Support for label underlining.
673 * Support for GLib 1.1.3 log domains.
674 * Documentation improvements.
675 * Configuration fixes on various platforms.
676 * Miscellaneous fixes to XInput support.
677 * Build with shared library dependencies on Linux
678 * Fix for a major bug in the type systems memory allocation code that could
679 cause random crashes.
680 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
681 * Lots of bugfixes and cleanups again ;)
684 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.1:
686 * Tutorial updates and additions.
687 * Key binding support for GtkListItems and GtkList.
688 * Extended selection mode and autoscrolling for GtkLists.
689 * A GtkCtree now operates on GtkCTreeNode* structures rather than GList*.
690 * GtkCTreeNodes can now be created from GNode trees.
691 * Bug fixes for GtkNotebook, GtkCList, GtkCombo and GdkWindow reparentation.
694 What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0:
696 * New widget GtkFontSelector.
697 * New featurefull progress bar.
698 * New container widget GtkPacker.
699 * New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
700 * New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
701 * New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and
702 and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList.
703 * Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
704 colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
705 * Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
706 * Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
707 * Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
708 * Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
709 * Support for rc-file reparsing.
710 * Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
711 for toplevel GtkWindows only.
712 * Buttons support relief styles now.
713 * Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
714 * Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
715 test for certain API features upon program compilation.
716 * Child arguments support for container widgets.
717 * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
718 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
719 need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
720 * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
721 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
722 * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
723 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
725 * GtkTables are now fully resizable.
726 * The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
728 * GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
729 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.
730 * GtkButton derives from GtkBin (finally).
731 * More descriptive error messages on rc parsing.
732 * Runtime information is available to query enum/flag definition values.
733 * Upgrade to libtool-1.2
734 * Legions of bug fixes, memory leaks, segfaults, of-by-something errors...
735 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
736 * A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
737 the masses of changes.
