ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.19.6

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

*** gtkmm 2.20:

gtkmm 2.19 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.19. It will become the API/ABI-stable 
gtkmm 2.20 when GTK+ 2.20.0 is released. gtkmm 2.19 is API/ABI-compatibile with 
gtkmm >=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 2.19.6 (unstable):

Gtk:
* Action: Do not deprecate connect_proxy(), disconnect_proxy(),
  block_activate_from() and unblock_activate_from(), because we cannot yet derive
  existing classes from Activatable until we can break ABI.
  Bug #608109 (David Trowbridge)
* EntryBuffer: Actually use GtkEntryBuffer.
* Paned: Added get_handle_window().
* ToolTip: Added set_icon(Gio::Icon).
* Widget:
  - Added set/get_realized(), set/get_mapped() and style_attach().
  - get_requisition(): Reimplemented with the new
  gtk_widget_get_requisition() function.
  - Un-deprecate get_action() because we cannot yet derive
  existing classes from Activatable until we can break ABI.
* Use Glib::wrap() instead of ->gobj() in some places, so we are generally
  more forgiving of null RefPtrs<>.
