news 28 Posted September 21, 2016 GTK+ 3.22.0 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/3.22/ sha256 sum: 88d0bb584be7ecec965b82ba88a9cf0aafd6f03eff7447653295ab2341c74134 gtk+-3.22.0.tar.xz What is GTK+ ============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a comprehensive set of widgets as well as facilities for creating your own widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Python, Vala and JavaScript (especially in combination with gobject-introspection and the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties. Since its origins as the toolkit for the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), GTK+ has been used in a wide range of software. Notably, GTK+ is the foundation of the GNOME desktop. What's new in 3.22 ================== The 3.22 release is the last development release in the GTK+ 3. series. GTK+ 3.22 will be maintained as the long-term stable version of GTK+ 3, and new development will move to the GTK+ 3.90.x releases. To learn more about the GTK+ roadmap, read: https://blog.gtk.org/2016/09/01/versioning-and-long-term-stability-promise-in-gtk Major new features include: * The Wayland backend has support for drawing tablets * The Wayland backend requires xdg-shell v6 * We have a gesture API for tablet support, GtkPadController * GdkMonitor offers an API for richer information about connected outputs * GdkGLContext supports GLES * GtkScrolledWindow has new max-content-width/height properties that can affect the sizing behavior * GtkShortcutLabel is a new widget that can display keyboard shortcuts in the same way that GtkShortcutWindow does * A number of GTK+ APIs will now transparently use portals when used in a Flatpak sandbox, including GtkFileChooserNative, GtkPrintOperation, gtk_show_uri.
