GTK+-2.3.2 released (unstable)
This is a development release leading up to GTK+-2.4. Changes
since GTK+-2.3.1 include many API fixes for new widgets and
bug fixes in new and old code, along with various new API
enhancements, such as allowing saving a GdkPixbuf to an in
memory buffer, and a blazingly fast fixed-height mode that can
be enabled for GtkTreeView.
GTK+-2.3.2 is now available for download at:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/
gtk+-2.3.2.tar.bz2 md5sum: b82e22ec7c4d9a0670fd56b1c29dcc35
gtk+-2.3.2.tar.gz md5sum: 26366b28cface259ba96b80856c9d611
Notes:
* This is unstable development release. There are certainly
plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should
not be used in production.
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing
copy of GTK+-2.2. If you have problems, you'll need
to reinstall GTK+-2.2.4.
* GTK+-2.4 will be source and binary compatible with
the GTK+-2.2.x series; however, the new API additions
in GTK+-2.3.x are not yet finalized, so there are likely
incompatibities between this release and the final
2.4 release.
* Remaining API issues for GTK+-2.4 can be found with following
bugzilla query:
* 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
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.
