GTK+ 2.13.0 released

[Matthias Clasen <mclasen redhat com>]

GTK+ 2.13.0 is now available for download at:

 http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.13/

gtk+-2.13.0.tar.bz2   md5sum: 6c07effe4cb8055aeb93702b08d68b1e
gtk+-2.13.0.tar.gz    md5sum: fcbbdbc14ab69ceec8cd28e9c427bb05

This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.14.

Notes:

 * This is a development snapshot, mostly to keep 'make distcheck' 
   from bit-rotting further. It has had almost no testing
   and there are unfinished features and plenty of bugs
   in this release. It should definitively not be used 
   in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GTK+ 2.12. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.12.

 * GTK+ 2.14 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GTK+ 2.12 series; however, the new API additions
   are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities 
   between this release and the final 2.14 release. 

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.


What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.
