* new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable
rebuilds of autogenerated sources.
* check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due
to old perl versions.
* fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
* more autogeneration make rules and dependancy fixups, we should be
save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
* new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
GtkWindow on every size change.
* major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
races with the new resizing code.
* the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
it only lacks testing ;)
* fixed up various rc style memory prolems.
* gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
The code should typically look like:
GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
[...]
gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
* fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
* GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.
* Better handling for unexpected window destroys in GDK and GTK+.
This should make it possible to use a GtkPlug and catch the
case where its parent socket is randomly killed.
* FAQ updates.
* FileSelection i18n patches, RadioButton fixups.
* miscellaneous other bugs fixed.
General Information =================== This is GTK+ version 1.2.5-pre1. GTK+, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces for the X Window System. It is designed to be small, efficient, and flexible. GTK+ is written in C with a very object-oriented approach. The official ftp site is: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk The official web site is: http://www.gtk.org/ A mailing list is located at: gtk-list@redhat.com To subscribe: mail -s subscribe gtk-list-request@redhat.com < /dev/null (Send mail to gtk-list-request@redhat.com with the subject "subscribe") Installation ============ See the file 'INSTALL' How to report bugs ================== Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. (http://bugs.gnome.org). To report a problem about GTK+, send mail to submit@bugs.gnome.org. The subject of the mail should describe your problem. In the body of the mail, you should first include a "pseudo-header" that gives the package and version number. This should be separated by a blank line from the actual headers. Package: gtk+ Version: 1.2.5-pre1 [ Please substitute 1.2.5-pre1 with the version of GTK+ that you have installed ] Then describe the bug. Include: * Information about your system. For instance: - What operating system and version - What version of X - For Linux, what version of the C library And anything else you think is relevant. * How to reproduce the bug. If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program that is built in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded. (Bugs that can be reproduced within the GIMP are almost as good as bugs that can be reproduced in testgtk. If you are reporting a bug found with the GIMP, please include the version number of the GIMP you are using) * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occured. * Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error is an X error, it will be more useful if the stacktrace is produced running the test program with the --sync command line option. An example of a bug report: ==== To: submit@bugs.gnome.org From: yourname@your.address.org Subject: handlebox test in testgtk is misnamed. Package: gtk+ Version: 1.2.5-pre1 When I run gtk/testgtk, the button "handle box" is misnamed. There are multiple handle boxes in the demo, so it should be "handle boxes", to be like "buttons" or "check buttons". === Patches ======= Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include your name and email address in the README file. If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
