GTK+ 2.15.1 released

[Matthias Clasen <mclasen redhat com>]

GTK+ 2.15.1 is now available for download at:

 http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.15/

gtk+-2.15.1.tar.bz2  md5sum: 08bd30294bec395078a2554d642d3b2d
gtk+-2.15.1.tar.gz   md5sum: a6f76fb01dfa035b21577bc426307072

This is another development release leading up to GTK+ 2.16.

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. While it has had
  a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs
  remaining to be found. This release should not be used
  in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
  copy of GTK+. If you have problems, you'll need to 
  reinstall GTK+ 2.14.

 * GTK+ 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with
  the GTK+ 2.14 series. The major API additions in GTK+ 2.15
  are finalized at this point, only minor API changes 
  are expected to happen between 2.15.1 and 2.16.

 * 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.

Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.15.0 to 2.15.1
==============================================

* GtkFileChooser:
 - Remember the file chooser's size across invocations
 - Handle uris that are entered in the entry
 - Improve autocompletion, in particular for uris

* GtkEntry:
 - New property "im-module" for selecting input methods per-widget
 - New icon-related API got renamed for consistency
 - Added properties and setters for icon tooltips

* GtkTextView:
 - New property "im-module" for selecting input methods per-widget
 - New signal "paste-done" to allow better handling of async pasting

* GtkScale:
 - New api to add annotated marks: gtk_scale_add_mark.

* GtkAction:
 - Rework the way actions and proxies interact, to make the
   interaction less ad hoc, more extensible, and better suited
   for support in GUI builders like glade.

   To be used as a proxy, a widget must now implement the
`  GtkActivatable interface, and GtkActivatable implementations
   are responsible for syncing their appearance with the action
   and for activating the action.

   All the widgets that are commonly used as proxies implement
   GtkActivatable now.

   This is a big change, and it is not unlikely to break some
   current users of GtkAction, so feedback about problems caused
   by this is appreciated.

 - Add a "gicon" property to specify the icon with a GIcon

* GDK:
 - On X11, GDK now caches cursors to avoid cursor theming overhead
 - New cursor type for blank cursors: GDK_BLANK_CURSOR

* New deprecations:
   gtk_scale_Button_get_orientation()
   gtk_scale_button_set_orientation()
   gtk_action_connect_proxy()
   gtk_action_disconnect_proxy()
   gtk_widget_get_action()
   gtk_action_block_activate_from()
   gtk_action_unblock_activate_from()
   direct access to "gtk-action" object data

* Changes that are relevant for translators:
 - Navigation and Media stock labels have separate message contexts now
 - The caps lock warning string has been changed
