This started as a port + of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk + text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It + has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the + full power of Pango. +* The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple + windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1 + is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer, + Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion, + and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in + before the final GTK+-2.0 release. +* 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+ + (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.) +* Many minor bug fixes and enhancements.
