Gtk2 1.031 (unstable)



Gtk2 is a Perl extension providing Perl bindings to the 2.x series of the Gtk+ graphical user interface library. This module allows you to write graphical user interfaces in a perlish and object-oriented way, freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining very close in spirit to original API. Find out more about Gtk+ at http://www.gtk.org , and about Gtk2-Perl at http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/ .

Reminder: the 1.03x series is an unstable development series. We need your help to test these out and shake out bugs, but be warned that the APIs are not frozen and the code is not guaranteed to work.

As always, the code is available from our sourceforge project page:
https://sourceforge.net/project/ showfiles.php?group_id=64773&package_id=91218&release_id=212342

...and from anonymous cvs, tagged rel-1-03-1 in the directory /gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2 .

Overview of Changes in Gtk2 1.031
=================================

* Added binding support for objects and functions new in gtk+-2.3.x. Not all tests are complete. Updated gtk-demo and examples to use the new stuff if available. This code will be protected by 2.4.0 version guards when gtk+-2.4.0 is finally released. Note: The unstable-2-3-x-branch in CVS
  is now dead.  [muppet]
* Updated Glib requirement to 1.031.
* New example in gtk-demo (ported from C) shows how to make hyperlinks in
  a TextView. [muppet, from gtk+]
* Converted all of the Gtk2::Gdk::Event accessors into combination accessors
  and mutators. [Ross]
* Provide a fallback implementation of Gtk2::Gdk::Event::new when linking against gtk+-2.0.x, so we can always create events (needed for synthesizing
  events in tests). [muppet]
* Even yet still more tests (grand total 2087). [Torsten]
* Don't copy colors when accessing Style members; this makes it possible to
  change the colors in a style. [Torsten]
* Various little bugfixes, memory leak plugs, ornulls, doc updates, build
  enhancements, etc.
