People agreed that it doesn't make sense to make an xembed
implementation like plug/socket does not make sense on anything but X11.
And as GdkNativeWindow is going away for multibackend portability
reasons, we'd either need API fixes in the plug-socket codee or
constrain the widgets to a single backend. We chose the latter.
Instead of checking if klass->get_request_mode is != NULL from
the gtk_widget_get_request_mode() api, this allows classes to
trust that there is a default implementation and chain up (specifically
added this for gtkmm wrapper objects).
Expander animation has been replaced by implicit animations
from the style context.
Column headers are also properly themed, GtkContainer::get_path_for_child()
is implemented and the treeview resets column buttons style on columns
being reordered.
The default CSS has changed to theme treeviews sensibly.
I think it's confusing for a lot the developers out there who
may not even be aware of GTK+ 3 coming, if suddenly GTK+ 3 becomes
the "stable" version of "gtk" on library.gnome.org. It may
not even be feasible for them to port to GTK+3 if it's not
shipped in the operating systems they're targeting (for example,
RHEL 6).
Since practically speaking, we expect people to consume GTK+ 2 for
several years at least, redirect these people to the right pages.
(I didn't attempt to explain the differences between the libraries
here, but hopefully the major version difference is enough of a hint)
As a side effect, this makes the generated HTML look better; previously
it looked rather crappy, since the "for GTK &version;" was totally
offset and in a different group from the documentation title.
This lets themes override settings values again. We are using
the same priority that was used from the rc file parser, so things
are largely unchanged, relative to other settings sources.
Move key file parsing to gtk_settings_load_from_key_file(), in
preparation for loading per-theme files. Load key files from both
/etc and ~/.config, with the latter overriding the former. Support
parsing enum values.
Also added documentation section for this. Since the GtkRecentFilter
documentation was still living in sgml, as a side-effect I migrated these
docs to the gtkrecentfilter.[ch] sources.
