* DND enhancements
* gtkfilesel now supports automounters better
* Implementation of expose compression
* Queued redraws of partial areas

to a scrolled window don't get an automatic viewport anymore. a convenience
function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() is suplied for this task
* Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about
the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions
* Non-functional functions got removed entirely

A new function gtk_object_default_construct() is provided now which should
be called after every gtk_type_new() to perfom the auto-construction
* Improved argument support of several widgets
* Bug Fixes
What is new in GTK+ 1.1.3:
* GtkCList/GtkCTree now have the ability to:
- hide/show individual columns

- set/get row and cell styles
- set spacing between tree expander and cell contents in ctree
- toggle auto_resize for columns
* Must enhanced DND support, removed old DND code
* Idle functions are now implemented via GHook, giving a slight speed
improvement
* An environment variable GTK_MODULES which takes a colon seperated
list of module names GTK+ will now automatically load at gtk_init() startup

into account window manager offsets

event
* New widget GtkCalendar

pointer grabs and selection handling in DND code

What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
* Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
--gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
* The tutorial has been updated again.
* Changes to menus including tearoff menus and accelerators.

implement va_lists as arrays.
* Improvements to the gdkrgb code.
* Improvements to Gdk color handling so we greatly reduce server traffic and
don't leak colors anymore.
* Improved internal widget tree iterators (the GtkContainer::foreach signal
vanished because of this).
* Option menus can have the keyboard focus now.
* More fixups to the text widget.
* GtkFileSelection should behave much more nicely in combination with AFS now.

is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
1998-07-25 04:07:04 +00:00

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.
