What's new in gtk+ 2.18.9:

March 18th, 2010

· Avoid a crash when doing DND on X servers without the shape extension
· Avoid an assertion when finalizing entries

What's new in gtk+ 2.18.8:

March 16th, 2010

GtkInfoBar:
· A new widget to show a transient ‘message area’ inside a content pane. The API is similar to GtkDialog and supports theming for different message types (warnings, errors, etc)

GtkBuilder:

· Scale marks can be specified in builder markup
· GtkAssistant action widgets can be added in builder markup

GtkLabel:
· GtkLabel can show embedded URLs, much like SexyUrlLabe

GtkEntry:
· GtkEntry has been refactored to follow the model-view pattern, with GtkEntryBuffer as model. One intended use case for this is to support ’secure memory’ for password entries

File chooser:

· Backup files are hidden by default
· GTK+ remembers the sorting state of the file list
· File sizes are shown by default
· The ‘Create Folder’ button can be disabled with the the ::create-folders property

Printing support:

· GTK+ supports authentication against CUPS servers
· A backend for the PAPI printing system has been added
· The file and lpr backends can print multiple pages per sheet
· The file backend can produce svg files
· GTK+ supports printing an application-defined ’selection’ in addition to the usual page ranges
· The print dialog can optinally include the page setup controls, avoiding the need for a separate page setup dialog in many situations

Theming support:

· The bullet character used in invisible entries can be set by themes with the ::invisible-char style property
· The file chooser can show different icons for xdg user dirs. The icon names are folder-documents, folder-download, folder-music, folder-pictures, folder-publicshare, folder-templates and folder-video
· The GtkInfoBar uses symbolic colors for theming its background color depending on the message type. The color names are info_fg_color, info_bg_color, warning_fg_color”, warning_bg_color, etc.

GDK changes:
· GDK has been rewritten to use ‘client-side windows’. This means that GDK maintains its own window hierarchy and only uses X windows where it is necessary or explicitly requested. Some of the benefits of this change are

Reduced flicker:
· The ability to do transformed and animated rendering of widgets
· Easier embedding of GTK+ widgets, e.g. into Clutter scene graphs
· See gdk-demo for some simple examples of client-side windows in action.
