ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.15.1

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** gtkmm 2.16:

gtkmm 2.15 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.15. It will become the API/ABI-stable 
gtkmm 2.16 when GTK+ 2.16.0 is released. gtkmm 2.15 is API/ABI-compatibile with 
gtkmm 2.14, 2.12, 2.10, 2.8, 2.6 and 2.4. It is a version of the gtkmm-2.4 API.

gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also 
API-stable.

*** Changes

gtkmm 2.15.1 (unstable):

Gtk:
* CellView: Added get_model() and some new properties.
* Entry: Added unset_invisible_char(), get_invisible_char().
  Added the new progress and icon methods and the properties, 
  including the new im-module property.
* ImageMenuItem: Added get/set_use_stock(), set_accel_group().
* MenuItem: Added get/set_label(), get/set_use_underline() and properties.
* PaperSize: Constructor: Remove the default value for the name parameter, 
  because there is already a default constructor, 
  This caused MSVC++ warning C4520 with Visual Studio 2008. 
  (Tao Wang) Bug #568074.
* PrintOperation: Added draw_page_finish(),  set_defer_drawing().
* PrintSettings: Added get_resolution_x(), get_resolution_y(), 
  set_resolution_xy(), get/set_printer_lpi().
* SelectionData:  Reimplement get_selection() using the new C getter method.
* StatusIcon: Added button_press_event, button_release_event and scroll_event 
  signals. Added get/set_has_tooltip(), get/set_tooltip_text(), 
  get/set_tooltip_markup().
* Stock: ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT, ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE, 
  ORIENTATION_REVERSE_LANDSCAPE, and ORIENTATION_REVERSE_PORTRAIT, 
  avoiding undefined reference errors when trying to use these.
  (Murray Cumming) Bug #568416 (Tao Wang).
* TextBuffer: Added the paste_done signal.
* TextView: Added im-module property.
* TreeModel::Path::empty(): Also check for a null underlying 
  GtkTreePath. Added operator bool() to do the same, just calling !empty().
  (Murray Cumming)

Gdk:
* Drawable::draw_pixbuf(): Add an override without a GC parameter, becauase it 
  can be NULL in C.
* Screen: Added get_monitor_width_mm(), get_monitor_height_mm(), 
  get_monitor_plug_name().

* Windows build:
  - Disabled MSVC++ compiler warning 4250
  (Armin Burgmeier) Bug #568083 (Tao Wang).
  - Installer: Added Simplified Chinese translation. (Tao Wang)
