New in gtk+ 2.18.9 (Mar 18, 2010)

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

New in gtk+ 2.18.8 (Mar 16, 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.
