gtk-engines 2.7.8 [unstable]

[Thomas Wood <thos gnome org>]

gtk-engines 2.7.8
=================

gtk-engines provides a central location for commonly used GTK+ engines.
It currently supplies several engines and default themes for those which
have one.

Many thanks to Andrew Johnson, Benjamin Berg and Benjamin Otte for their 
 contributions to this release.

This will probably be the last release before 2.8.0, and we have now 
achieved our goal of converting all the engines distributed in 
gtk-engines to use the cairo graphics library, including:

Crux, Clearlooks, HighContrast, Industrial, Mist, ThinIce, Redmond and 
Glide (a temporary cairo replacement for Smooth for the Glider theme)

Besides this goal, there have also been numerous improvements to the 
engines in this release cycle, including:

  * the creation of a shared library of common functions, macros and 
sanity checks
  * vigorous testing to ensure the stability of all the engines
  * and many, many visual improvements

However, there are still likely to be a few bugs left, so please do file 
any issues and problems you have in bugzilla 
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=gtk-engines>.


THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE
=============================

This release is the fifth release in the 2.7.x development cycle,
leading up to the 2.8 release. This is an unstable development release,
so there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This
release should not be used in production environments.

We hope the stable release (2.8) will be ready for release to coincide
with GNOME 2.14, so please test this as much as you can, and report any
problems to bugzilla. The main goals for 2.8 are to integrate the cairo
graphics library, so that most of the drawing functions no longer use GDK.
