RE: [gtkmm] ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 1.3.22

["Garriss, Michael" <Michael Garriss abacus-direct com>]

Hats off to Murray Cumming for his great work on gtkmm.  It has made the
development of my project much more enjoyable (I don't find gtk+
"enjoyable").

Thank you,
	Michael Garriss

*** gtkmm2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This development branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x.

We are now seriously pushing for a binary API frozen 2.0 release. There
are no known API issues apart from these, which will be punted to some
future version:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?T2A121471

*** Changes

* Win32:
  - Don't include strings.h on Win32.
  - Use -fnative-struct, as used by GTK+ DLLs.
  - Install win32 import libraries.
  (Naofumi Yasufuku)
  - Don't try to register non-wrapped classes. (Murray Cumming)

* Sun Forte build fixes. (Michael v. Szombathely)

API breakage:
* pangomm:
  - Added Rectangle, Language, Color, Item, Glyph, Attributes, Attr,
AttrItem.
  - Used these wrappers in other class methods.
  - Added some wrapper methods.
  (Martin Schulze)
  Excuse for breakage: pangomm isn't used much directly so this shouldn't
break much.
* Added Gdk::Window::set_cursor(void) to reset the cursor. (Murray Cumming)
  Excuse: It's additional API so it doesn't break anything.

You will need the alpha release of libsigc++1.1, available here:

If you wish to install this in parallel with gtk--1.2, you will first 
need to update to the latest libsigc++1.0.x, available here:

*** Development 

This is an unstable release, currently under heavy development. You can find

cvs instructions here:

The CHANGES file describes some of the more significant differences 
compared to gtkmm 1.2:
