GTK+ Version 1.2 Released
=========================
The GTK+ development team is pleased to announce the release of
version 1.2 of the GIMP Toolkit.
GTK+ is a multi-platform open source GUI Toolkit. Everything about
GTK+ from the object-oriented design to the Free Software LGPL
licensing allows you to code your project with the most freedom
possible. You can develop open software, free software, or even
commercial non-free software without having to spend a dime for
licenses or royalties.
GTK+ is a set of libraries to create graphical user interfaces. It
works on many Unix-like platforms, and a Windows version is in
development. GTK+ is released under the GNU Library General Public
License (GNU LGPL), which allows for flexible licensing of client
applications. GTK+ has a C-based object-oriented architecture that
allows for maximum flexibility. Bindings for other languages have
been written, including C++, Objective-C, Guile/Scheme, Perl, Python,
TOM, Ada95, Free Pascal, and Eiffel.
GTK+ consists of the following component libraries:
o GLib. Provides many useful data types, macros, type conversions,
string utilities and a lexical scanner. Includes Win32 support.
o GDK. A wrapper for low-level windowing functions.
o GTK. An advanced widget set.
New and improved features in version 1.2 include:
o Theme support. Dynamically change the appearance of your GTK+
applications.
o Thread support. Including POSIX threads, Solaris threads and
experimental NSPR threads support.
o New Drag and Drop (DND) support. Both the XDND and Motif protocols
are supported, and the programmer is presented with a single,
unified interface.
o Runtime loading of dynamic modules.
o 300 Page Tutorial.
o Internationalization of standard dialogs.
o Wide character support for text widgets.
o New widgets:
- new multi-column Tree widget
- font selection dialog
- plug/socket widgets for inter-application embedding
- calendar widget
- item factory
o Enhanced functionality to many GTK+ 1.0 widgets
GTK+ is already being used in many major projects, such as the GIMP
and GNOME projects. Don't get left out!
GTK+ is also being ported to Win32. For further information see:
