news 28 Posted January 2, 2009 GTK+ 2.15.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.15/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.15/ gtk+-2.15.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: 23ff288d00b24f0820a4ae79a747f25e gtk+-2.15.0.tar.gz md5sum: 3f043b2a029fcaeb28899cd35081a1ab This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.16. Notes: * This is the first development release in the 2.15 cycle. It has had only little testing and there are unfinished features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should definitively not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.14. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.14. * GTK+ 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.14 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.16 release. Among the API additions that are still under consideration for 2.16 are: 565656 Add marks to scales 560228 Add "action-controller" property to GtkWidgetClass 553573 Add orientation API to GtkBox 553582 Add orientation API to GtkSeparator 553585 Add orientation API to GtkRuler 553586 Add orientation API to GtkPaned 553765 Add orientation API to GtkRange * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. What is GTK+ ============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of 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 Perl and Python (especially in combination with 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. Where to get more information about GTK+ ======================================== Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+ 2.x is found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-question-index.html http://www.gtk.org/faq/ Contributing ============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions. We are actively searching for new contributors in various areas and invite everyone to help project development.
