- Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.3:
-
- * Upgrade to libtool 1.3
- * Check for dgettext (for systems with old versions of GNU Gettext)
- * Many bug fixes (see ChangeLog for details)
-
- Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.2:
-
- * Improved Dnd behaviour with Motif applications.
- * Bug fixes for the Gtk selection code.
- * Minor bug fixes to the Gdk Atom cache and Dnd code (with --display option).
- * Bug fixes and leak plugs for the Gdk IM code.
- * Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrive object arguments easily.
- The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
- * Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
- problems where closed pipes were no longer signalling GDK_INPUT_READ on
- systems with a native poll().
- * Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
- anymore).
- * We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
- eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
- time a transparent pixmap is created.
- * Fixed bug where Gtk timout/idle handlers would execute without the global
- Gdk lock being held.
- * Other minor bug fixes.
-
- Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1:
-
- * Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
- * GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
- accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
- like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
- menu heirarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
- * GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
- * Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
-
- What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x):
-
- * New widgets: GtkFontSelector, GtkPacker, GtkItemFactory, GtkCTree,
- GtkInvisible, GtkCalendar, GtkLayout, GtkPlug, GtkSocket
- * Many new features and robustness for existing widgets
- * Theme support
- * New DND implementation
- * Internationalization of standard dialogs
- * New key binding system
- * Tearoff menus and menu accelerators
- * Wide character support for entry and text
- * Resizing code has been overhauled
- * Queued redraws of partial areas
- * Far better support for object arguments
- * Speed optimizations
- * Runtime loading of dynamic modules
- * Support for GLib log domains
- * Tutorial improvements
- * A bug fix or two
-
- Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.16:
-
- * Major fixes and improvements for handlebox
- * A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now,
- widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
- unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
- This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
- * Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
- * Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries
- * --enable-debug is now on by default for the development releaes.
- (When compiling for "production", use --enable-debug=minimum)
- * Handle systems where Helvetica is not present more gracefully
- * Fixes for memory leaks
- * CList and CTree fixes
- * Bug fixes for drawing problems.
- * Miscellaneous bug fixes to GtkLabel, GtkCList, GtkCTree,
- GtkColorsel, Focusing, DND
- * Tutorial improvements
-
- Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.15:
-
- * Tutorial Updates
- * Added --libs gthread to gtk-config
- * Bug fixes
-
- What is new in GTK+ 1.1.14:
-
- * Additions to docs/Changes-1.2.txt
- * Just warn when loading theme engine fails
- * CLAMP GtkScale digits to a meaningful range
- * GTK_LOCALDIR is now defined in a better fashion
- * New functions (feature freeze, we know...):
- gtk_menu_set_title()
- gtk_toggle_button_get_active()
- * Some locale fixups in gtkrc code
- * Fixes to make gtk_radio_button_set_group() keep only
- one radio button in the group active
- * Foreign windows are now always treated as viewable; this fixes
- a problem where updating didn't occure properly in GtkPlug
- * DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations
- with modifier keys.
- * Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
- for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as
- scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
- of allocating directly in a put() or move()
-
- What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
-
- * Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
- * Widget sensitivity fixups.
- * Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules
- can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW
- widgets.
- * Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrival.
- * Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
- a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
- got minorly improved as well.
- * Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
- expose event generation.
- * Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
- recently having.
- * Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
- within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
- check() or prepare() anymore.
- * Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
- * Improved session management support in Gdk.
- * Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.
- * Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview.

- and GNU libtool 1.2d.
- * More bug fixes all over the place.

-
- What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
-
- * Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
- --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
- G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);

-
-
- What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0:

- * Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
- mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
- need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
- * Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
- is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
- * Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified

- function.
