[murrayc t-online de (Murray Cumming)]

*** gtkmm 1.3.5

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This unstable branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 1.3.x, which will become gtk+ 2.0. This version should build with
gtk+ 1.3.14 

*** Changes since gtkmm 1.3.4

* Tutorial converted to latest DocBook XML, with some improvements of the text.
  (Murray Cumming)
* Examples can be built all at once. Some use of deprecated widgets removed.
  (Murray Cumming)
* Gdk::Cursor: Gdk::Color args are now const. (Andreas Holzmann)
* Toolbar: StockElem can now be used to add stock items to toolbars.
  (Andreas Holzmann)
* Gdk::Bitmap now derives from Gdk::Pixmap, allowing a Bitmap to be used 
  anywhere that a Pixmap can be used. This is the intention in GTK+. 
  (Murray Cumming, Andreas Holzmann)
* Gtk::TextBuffer improvements (Daniel Elstner)
* More wrapping of Atk::Object (Murray Cumming)
* Documentation overview page:
  http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/gtkmm2/
  (Paulo Pinto)

You will need the alpha release of libsigc++1.1, available here: 
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1970

If you wish to install this in parallel with gtk--1.2, you will first 
need to update to the latest libsigc++1.0.x, available here: 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1970


*** Description 

This is an unstable release, so that you can see the changes 
compared with gtkmm 1.2. Development is heavily underway, so this might 
be significantly out-of-date by the time you receive this. You can find 
cvs instructions here: 
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtkmm-root/base/README

The CHANGES file describes some of the more significant differences 
compared to gtkmm 1.2:

There is also ongoing discussion on the mailing list: 
http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/mailinglist.html
and in the #C++ channel on irc.gnome.org
