Not that exciting I suppose. New features: * Add simple animations for chunk actions to make it easier to follow the result of insertion and deletion actions (Kai Willadsen) * Show the currently displayed page area in the side bars (Kai Willadsen) Fixes: * Don't show links between chunks where one of the chunks is completely off-screen, reducing visual clutter (Kai Willadsen) * Syntax highlighting will now assume that all files in a comparison are of the same type if we can't determine otherwise (Kai Willadsen) * Some fixes to colour usage and legibility for dark themes, wi

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.
