ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.1.2

[murrayc t-online de (Murray Cumming)]

*** gtkmm 2.2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.2 wraps GTK+ 2.2
http://www.gtkmm.org.

We expect no major changes before gtkmm 2.2.0. Please consider this a release 
candidate.

Like GTK+ 2.2, gtkmm 2.2 contains only API addition, without API or ABI
breakage. We might do bug-fixing work on gtkmm 2.0, but most work will
happen on HEAD, because a stable GTK+ 2.2.0 has already been released.

Contrary to the gtkmm 2.0.2 announcement, gtkmm 2.0.2 will not build
with GTK+ 2.1.x, due to minor API breakage in GTK+. 


*** Changes

2.1.2:

* Gtk::Clipboard API finished, with examples, and a book chapter:
