GTK+ 2.15.0 released

[Matthias Clasen <mclasen redhat com>]

GTK+ 2.15.0 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.15/
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.15/

gtk+-2.15.0.tar.bz2   md5sum: 23ff288d00b24f0820a4ae79a747f25e
gtk+-2.15.0.tar.gz    md5sum: 3f043b2a029fcaeb28899cd35081a1ab

This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.16.

Notes:

 * This is the first development release in the 2.15 cycle.
   It has had only little testing and there are unfinished 
   features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should 
   definitively not be used in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GTK+ 2.14. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.14.

 * GTK+ 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GTK+ 2.14 series; however, the new API additions
   are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities
   between this release and the final 2.16 release.
   Among the API additions that are still under consideration
   for 2.16 are:
   565656 Add marks to scales
   560228 Add "action-controller" property to GtkWidgetClass
   553573 Add orientation API to GtkBox
   553582 Add orientation API to GtkSeparator
   553585 Add orientation API to GtkRuler
   553586 Add orientation API to GtkPaned
   553765 Add orientation API to GtkRange 

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.


What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.

Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.14.x to 2.15.0
==============================================

* GtkFileChooser
 - Optionally shows file sizes
 - Mounts volumes when necessary
 - Picks better mime icons

* GtkEntry
 - Can show icons at either side of the entry, which can be made
   clickable, drag sources, etc
 - Can show progress information
 - Picks the best available placeholder character for invisible entries 
   unless it is explicitly set. See the invisible-char-set property
 - Input methods work again in invisible entries
 - Invisible entries can optionally display a caps-lock warning. This
   can be turned off with the caps-lock-warning property

* GtkStatusIcon
 - Uses an extension of the tray icon spec to negotiate RGBA support.
   This is also supported by the GNOME panel. For details, see 
   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2008-September/009934.html 
 - Supports scroll events, middle clicks and rich tooltips

* GtkLinkButton
 - Respects user-defined tooltips 
 - Has a default url hook

* GtkBuilder
 - Can construct menus
 - Can associate accel groups with windows
 - Child properties can now be translatable, e.g.
   GtkAssistant::page-title

* GtkOrientable
 - A new interface implemented by all widgets that have horizontal and
   vertical variants

* Printing support
 - Print-to-file can save to non-local files
 - Page rendering can be deferred to a thread to avoid blocking the
   mainloop

* GDK
 - GdkKeymap emits a state-changed signal when the Caps Lock state
   changes

* Newly deprecated functions:
  gdk_window_get_toplevels(),
  gtk_font_selection_dialog_get_apply_button(),
  gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip(),
  gtk_toolbar_set_orientation()

* Changes that are relevant for theme authors
 - The GtkMenu::arrow-placement style property allow more space
   efficient layout of scrolling menus
 - Submenu arrows can be scaled relative to the font size, with the
   GtkMenuItem::arrow-scaling style property
 - Themes can set the GtkDialog::content-area-spacing style property to 
   change the spacing between elements of the content area
 - The GtkEntry::state-hint style property can be used to make GTK+
   pass the correct state when drawing the background of entries
 - The GtkEntry::prelight style property can be used to suppress
   prelighting of icons in entries on mouse-over
 
* Changes that are relevant for translators
 - GTK+ has been switched to use the two-argument C_() macro
   instead of Q_() for messages with context
