The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1 469 is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer, 470 Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion, 471 and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in 472 before the final GTK+-2.0 release. 473* 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+ 474 (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.) 475* Many minor bug fixes and enhancements. Incompatible changes 476 are documented in docs/Changes-2.0.txt 477 478Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.8: 479 480* GNU Make 3.79 bug workaround 481* FAQ and tutorial updates and improvements 482* Miscellaneous bug fixes: CList, Calendar, rc-files, FontSelection 483 484Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.7: 485 486* More header cleanups. 487* Fixed activation bug for insensitive widgets. 488* Locale fixes to RC file parsing code. 489* Miscellaneous bugfixes for Item Factory, CList, CTree, X Selections, 490 HScale, VScale, Pixmap, Viewport, OptionMenu, Entry and Notebook. 491* Upgrade to libtool 1.3.4. 492 493Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.6: 494 495* container queue_resize fixes 496* gtk[vh]scale: minor fixups 497* rename idle to idle_id in testgtk to avoid conflicts with 498 broken libs 499* More consistent naming of gtkrc files 500* Added language support: ro, uk 501 502Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.5: 503 504* more GtkCTree and GtkWindow bug fixes. 505* more redraw/resize queue fixes, better expose event 506 discarding code. 507* more miscellaneous bugs fixed 508* new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable 509 rebuilds of autogenerated sources. 510* check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due 511 to old perl versions. 512* fonts (and fontsets) are cached now. 513* more autogeneration make rules and dependency fixups, we should be 514 save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;) 515* new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the 516 GtkWindow on every size change. 517* major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of 518 races with the new resizing code. 519* the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now, 520 it only lacks testing ;) 521* fixed up various rc style memory problems. 522* gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets 523 and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug, 524 this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code. 525 The code should typically look like: 526 GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new (); 527 [...] 528 gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style); 529 gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style); 530* fix problems with positioning menus offscreen. 531* GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors. 532* Better handling for unexpected window destroys in GDK and GTK+. 533 This should make it possible to use a GtkPlug and catch the 534 case where its parent socket is randomly killed. 535* FAQ updates. 536* FileSelection i18n patches, RadioButton fixups. 537* many translation improvements. 538* miscellaneous other bugs fixed. 539 540Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.4: 541 542* DnD improvements (drags can be canceled with Esc now). 543* suppressed configure event reordering in Gdk. 544* rewrite of Gtk's configure event handling. 545* major improvements for the object argument system (Elena Devdariani). 546* major bugfixes for threading, GtkNotebook, GtkItemFactory, GtkCList and 547 GtkCTree. 548* tutorial/FAQ updates, new file generation.txt on autogenerated sources. 549* configure's --with-glib= is "officially" unsupported. 550* upgrade to libtool 1.3.3. 551* various buglets fixed. 552 553Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.3: 554 555* Upgrade to libtool 1.3 556* Check for dgettext (for systems with old versions of GNU Gettext) 557* Many bug fixes (see ChangeLog for details) 558 559Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.2: 560 561* Improved Dnd behaviour with Motif applications. 562* Bug fixes for the Gtk selection code. 563* Minor bug fixes to the Gdk Atom cache and Dnd code (with --display option). 564* Bug fixes and leak plugs for the Gdk IM code. 565* Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrieve object arguments easily. 566 The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs. 567* Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix 568 problems where closed pipes were no longer signaling GDK_INPUT_READ on 569 systems with a native poll(). 570* Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory 571 anymore). 572* We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent 573 eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every 574 time a transparent pixmap is created. 575* Fixed bug where Gtk timeout/idle handlers would execute without the global 576 Gdk lock being held. 577* Other minor bug fixes. 578 579Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.1: 580 581* Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code. 582* GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their 583 accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory 584 like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same 585 menu hierarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators. 586* GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now. 587* Miscellaneous other bug fixes. 588 589What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x): 590 591* New widgets: GtkFontSelector, GtkPacker, GtkItemFactory, GtkCTree, 592 GtkInvisible, GtkCalendar, GtkLayout, GtkPlug, GtkSocket 593* Many new features and robustness for existing widgets 594* Theme support 595* New DND implementation 596* Internationalization of standard dialogs 597* New key binding system 598* Tearoff menus and menu accelerators 599* Wide character support for entry and text 600* Resizing code has been overhauled 601* Queued redraws of partial areas 602* Far better support for object arguments 603* Speed optimizations 604* Runtime loading of dynamic modules 605* Support for GLib log domains 606* Tutorial improvements 607* A bug fix or two 608 609Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.16: 610 611* Major fixes and improvements for handlebox 612* A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now, 613 widget->requisition is always what the widget requested, 614 unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details. 615 This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize(). 616* Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems 617* Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries 618* --enable-debug is now on by default for the development release. 619 (When compiling for "production", use --enable-debug=minimum) 620* Handle systems where Helvetica is not present more gracefully 621* Fixes for memory leaks 622* CList and CTree fixes 623* Bug fixes for drawing problems. 624* Miscellaneous bug fixes to GtkLabel, GtkCList, GtkCTree, 625 GtkColorsel, Focusing, DND 626* Tutorial improvements 627 628Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.15: 629 630* Tutorial Updates 631* Added --libs gthread to gtk-config 632* Bug fixes 633 634What is new in GTK+ 1.1.14: 635 636* Additions to docs/Changes-1.2.txt 637* Just warn when loading theme engine fails 638* CLAMP GtkScale digits to a meaningful range 639* GTK_LOCALDIR is now defined in a better fashion 640* New functions (feature freeze, we know...): 641 gtk_menu_set_title() 642 gtk_toggle_button_get_active() 643* Some locale fixups in gtkrc code 644* Fixes to make gtk_radio_button_set_group() keep only 645 one radio button in the group active 646* Foreign windows are now always treated as viewable; this fixes 647 a problem where updating didn't occur properly in GtkPlug 648* DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations 649 with modifier keys. 650* Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window 651 for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as 652 scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead 653 of allocating directly in a put() or move() 654 655What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13: 656 657* Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification. 658* Widget sensitivity fixups. 659* Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules 660 can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW 661 widgets. 662* Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrieval. 663* Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs 664 a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which 665 got minorly improved as well. 666* Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce 667 expose event generation. 668* Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were 669 recently having. 670* Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from 671 within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within 672 check() or prepare() anymore. 673* Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now. 674* Improved session management support in Gdk. 675* Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now. 676* Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview. 677* Gtk+ development now requires GNU autoconf 2.13, GNU automake 1.4 678 and GNU libtool 1.2d. 679* More bug fixes all over the place. 680 681What is new in GTK+ 1.1.12: 682 683* Korean translation added 684* Fixed memory leaks 685* A few other bug fixes 686 687What is new in GTK+ 1.1.11: 688 689* Dutch, Japanese, Swedish, Polish, and Norwegian translations 690* Removed deprecated _interp variants: gtk_container_foreach_interp, 691 gtk_idle_add_interp, gtk_timeout_add_interp, gtk_signal_connect_interp 692* Lots of cast corrections 693* Many fixes 694 695What is new in GTK+ 1.1.9: 696 697* Check for broken glibc 2.0 mb functions and avoid them 698* Label and Entry display fixes 699* Move main thread back to GDK, for locking when translating events 700* Bug fixes 701 702What is new in GTK+ 1.1.8: 703 704* Added support for gettext and the localization of the standard 705 dialogs. 706* Added line-wrapping for the label, and JUSTIFY_FILL 707* Support reordering via drag and drop in CList and CTree. 708* Replaced GtkDrawWindow widget with a GTK_USER_DRAW flag 709* Extended gtkpaned API to support minimum sizes and proportional 710 resizing. 711* Changed the handling of shared memory segments so as to 712 remove the need for GTK+ to set up signal handlers. 713* Re-implemented event loop in terms of the event loop 714 that has been added to GLib 1.1.8 715* Added 'grab_focus' signal to allow keyboard accelerators 716 for entries. 717* Load locale specific RC files if present. 718* Bug fixes. 719 720What is new in GTK+ 1.1.7: 721 722* Fixed memory mis-allocation in default files code 723* Various event handling fixes 724* Wide character support for entry and text 725* Destroy widgets _after_ propagating unrealize signals through 726 widget hierarchy 727* Only build XIM-support if available 728* Tutorial and examples updates 729* Added gtk_drag_source_unset() 730 731What is new in GTK+ 1.1.6: 732 733* The signal system now features emission hooks with special semantics, 734 refer to the ChangeLog for this. 735* Minor? speedups and memory reductions to the emission handling of the 736 signal system. 737* _interp() function variants are deprecated now. the corresponding *_full() 738 variants are provided for a long time now. 739* Dnd abort timeout increased to 10 minutes. 740* GtkScrolledWindow inherits from GtkBin now. 741* GTK_POLICY_NEVER is implemented for scrolled windows now. 742* Lots of API clean ups. 743* Incremental freezing abilities. 744* Integrated widgets from the GNOME tree: GtkLayout, GtkPlug and GtkSocket. 745* New window functions for transient relationship, default size, and 746 geometry hints 747* Default rc files are now read in (<sysconfdir/etc/gtkrc and ~/.gtkrc) 748 GTK_RC_FILES environment variable and functions are provided to configure 749 this behavior 750* Read doc/Changes-1.2.txt to properly adapt your code. 751* Bug Fixes. 752 753What is new in GTK+ 1.1.5: 754 755* Theme integration 756* Widget style modification is now handled through GtkRcStyles 757* GtkPixmaps now grey out pixmaps when insensitive 758* Notebook enhancements 759* Shadow configurability for menubars and handleboxes 760* DND enhancements 761* gtkfilesel now supports automounters better 762* Implementation of expose compression 763* Queued redraws of partial areas 764* Scrolledwindow (+Viewport) source incompatibilities, children that are added 765 to a scrolled window don't get an automatic viewport anymore. a convenience 766 function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() is supplied for this task 767* Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about 768 the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions 769* Non-functional functions got removed entirely 770* gtk_widget_new() and gtk_object_new() will now auto-construct new objects. 771 A new function gtk_object_default_construct() is provided now which should 772 be called after every gtk_type_new() to perform the auto-construction 773* Improved argument support of several widgets 774* Bug Fixes 775 776What is new in GTK+ 1.1.3: 777 778* GtkCList/GtkCTree now have the ability to: 779 - hide/show individual columns 780 - disable/enable column resizing 781 - set min and max for column widths 782 - set expander style of the ctree 783 - set/get row and cell styles 784 - set spacing between tree expander and cell contents in ctree 785 - toggle auto_resize for columns 786* Must enhanced DND support, removed old DND code 787* Idle functions are now implemented via GHook, giving a slight speed 788 improvement 789* An environment variable GTK_MODULES which takes a colon separated 790 list of module names GTK+ will now automatically load at gtk_init() startup 791* GtkFontSel now has support for an extra 'base' filter 792* New function gdk_window_set_root_origin to get the real geometry taking 793 into account window manager offsets 794* New function gtk_text_set_line_wrap to toggle line wrapping 795* New function gtk_widget_add_events which safely adds additional 796 events to a widget's event mask 797* New function gdk_event_get_time to get the timestamp from a generic 798 event 799* New widget GtkCalendar 800* New widget GtkInvisible - InputOnly offscreen windows used for reliable 801 pointer grabs and selection handling in DND code 802* New functions gtk_object_remove_no_notify[_by_id] to remove a certain 803 data portion without invocation of its destroy notifier 804* gtk_spin_button_construct is now deprecated, use gtk_spin_button_configure 805 instead 806* gtk_clist_set_border is now deprecated, use gtk_clist_set_shadow_type 807 instead 808* Removed functions gtk_object_set_data_destroy[_by_id] 809* Documentation additions/updates 810* HTML and plain text files are now included in the distribution 811* Bug fixes, typeness corrections, and general fixups 812 813What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2: 814 815* Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the 816 --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a 817 G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv); 818 function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such 819 modules may create new widget types, they are always resident. 820* The tutorial has been updated again. 821* Changes to menus including tearoff menus and accelerators. 822* Better support for modal dialogs. 823* Removed CAN_FOCUS by default from scrollbars and button children of toolbar. 824* More improvements and fixes for GtkCList and GtkCTree (i.e. row sorting). 825* GtkCTree rows can be unselectable now. 826* The GtkCTree API has undergone major renames (see ChangeLog entry from Lars 827 Hamann on Tue Aug 18 00:29:13 1998). 828* A bunch of varargs functions changed to get va_lists working on systems that 829 implement va_lists as arrays. 830* Improvements to the gdkrgb code. 831* Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and 832 don't leak colors anymore. 833* Improved internal widget tree iterators (the GtkContainer::foreach signal 834 vanished because of this). 835* Option menus can have the keyboard focus now. 836* More fixups to the text widget. 837* GtkFileSelection should behave much more nicely in combination with AFS now. 838* Support for label underlining. 839* Support for GLib 1.1.3 log domains. 840* Documentation improvements. 841* Configuration fixes on various platforms. 842* Miscellaneous fixes to XInput support. 843* Build with shared library dependencies on Linux 844* Fix for a major bug in the type systems memory allocation code that could 845 cause random crashes. 846* Libtool update to version 1.2b. 847* Lots of bugfixes and cleanups again ;) 848 849 850What is new in GTK+ 1.1.1: 851 852* Tutorial updates and additions. 853* Key binding support for GtkListItems and GtkList. 854* Extended selection mode and autoscrolling for GtkLists. 855* A GtkCtree now operates on GtkCTreeNode* structures rather than GList*. 856* GtkCTreeNodes can now be created from GNode trees. 857* Bug fixes for GtkNotebook, GtkCList, GtkCombo and GdkWindow reparentation. 858 859 860What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0: 861 862* New widget GtkFontSelector. 863* New featureful progress bar. 864* New container widget GtkPacker. 865* New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated. 866* New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles. 867* New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and 868 and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList. 869* Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching 870 colormap and visual queries to the XServer. 871* Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks. 872* Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling. 873* Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction. 874* Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv). 875* Support for rc-file reparsing. 876* Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than 877 for toplevel GtkWindows only. 878* Buttons support relief styles now. 879* Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise. 880* Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to 881 test for certain API features upon program compilation. 882* Child arguments support for container widgets. 883* Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying 884 mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't 885 need to be preceded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore. 886* Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display 887 is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel. 888* Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified 889 on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available 890 for GtkWindows. 891* GtkTables are now fully resizable. 892* The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization 893 function. 894* GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base 895 types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files. 896* GtkButton derives from GtkBin (finally). 897* More descriptive error messages on rc parsing. 898* Runtime information is available to query enum/flag definition values. 899* Upgrade to libtool-1.2 900* Legions of bug fixes, memory leaks, segfaults, of-by-something errors... 901 including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch. 902* A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in 903 the masses of changesonfigure problem when cross-compiling 904
