Installation
============
See the file 'INSTALL'
How to report bugs
==================
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product glib.) You will need
to create an account for yourself.
In the bug report please include:
* Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- 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 one of the test programs that are built
in the tests/ 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.
* 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.
Patches
=======
Patches should also be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org. If the
patch fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment
to that bug report.
Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch,
and attach the patch to that bug report.
Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -up option to GNU diff.)
Release notes for 3.4
=====================
* Scroll events have been separated from button events, and smooth
scrolling has been added with a separate event mask. Widgets now
need to have either GDK_SCROLL_MASK or GDK_SMOOTH_SCROLL_MASK in
their event mask to receive scroll events.
* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
Release notes for 3.2
=====================
* The accessible implementations for GTK+ widgets have been integrated
into libgtk itself, and the gail module does not exist anymore. This
change should not affect applications very much.
Release notes for 3.0
=====================
* GTK+ 3 is a major new version of GTK+, which is parallel installable
with GTK+ 2.x. For information about porting applications from GTK+ 2.x
to GTK+ 3, see the file:
docs/reference/gtk/html/migrating.html
Or online at:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/3.0/migrating.html
* Note that the library sonames in this release have been changed from
libgtk-3.0 and libgdk-3.0 to libgtk-3 and libgdk-3, to prevent the
library versions from going backwards, compared to the 2.90/91/99
releases. Applications will have to be recompiled.
