What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0:
1998-07-25 04:07:04 +00:00
* New widget GtkFontSelector.
* New featurefull progress bar.
* New container widget GtkPacker.
* New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
* New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.
* New widget GtkCTree with drag selections and keyboard movement and
and horizontal scrolling. Features also implemented for GtkCList.
1998-05-10 05:19:00 +00:00
* Significant speedups to widget creation and destruction through caching
colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
* Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
* Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
* Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
1998-07-25 04:07:04 +00:00
* Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
1998-06-30 20:31:00 +00:00
* Support for rc-file reparsing.
* Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
for toplevel GtkWindows only.
* Buttons support relief styles now.
* Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
1998-05-10 05:19:00 +00:00
* Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
test for certain API features upon program compilation.
1998-06-30 20:31:00 +00:00
* Child arguments support for container widgets.
1998-07-25 04:07:04 +00:00
* Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
need to be preceeded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
1998-06-30 20:31:00 +00:00
* Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
1998-07-25 04:07:04 +00:00
* Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
for GtkWindows.
* GtkTables are now fully resizable.
* The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
function.
* GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.
* GtkButton derives from GtkBin (finally).
* More descriptive error messages on rc parsing.
1998-06-30 20:31:00 +00:00
* Runtime information is available to query enum/flag definition values.
* Upgrade to libtool-1.2
1998-07-25 04:07:04 +00:00
* Legions of bug fixes, memory leaks, segfaults, of-by-something errors...
including those that already went into the 1.0.x branch.
* A big bunch of features and cosmetic fixups that just got lost in
the masses of changes.
