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. GTK+ is the only 100% free-of-cost open source industrial-strength GUI toolkit available today.

Since its origins as the toolkit for the GNU Image
Manipulation Program (GIMP), GTK+ has been used in a wide
range of software. Notably, GTK+ is the foundation of the
GNOME desktop; GTK+ 2.14 will be incorporated into version
2.24 of the GNOME desktop.


What's new in GTK+ 2.16
=======================

GTK+ 2.16 adds new functionality while maintaining source and binary
compatibility with GTK+ 2.14. Highlights of new features and improvements in GTK+ 2.16 are:

Noteworthy new APIs

 - GtkOrientable is a new interface implemented by all widgets that have
   horizontal and vertical variants

 - GtkActivatable is a new interface that must be implemented by widgets
   that are used as action proxies

Changes in GtkEntry

 - GtkEntry can show icons at either side of the entry, which can be made
   clickable, drag sources, etc.

 - GtkEntry can show progress information behind the text.

 - GTK+ picks the best available placeholder character for password entries
   unless one is explicitly set.

 - GTK+ displays a Caps Lock warning in password entries.

 - Input methods can now be selected per-widget with the "im-module"
   property.

Changes in GtkScale

 - GtkScale can now display annotated marks for certain values.

Changes in GtkStatusIcon

 - GTK+ uses an extension of the tray icon specification to negotiate
   RGBA support. This is also supported by the GNOME panel.

 - GtkStatusIcon now supports scroll events, middle clicks and rich tooltips
   if the platform allows it.

Changes in file chooser

 - The file chooser can optionally show file sizes.

 - Volumes are mounted when necessary.

 - GTK+ remembers the file chooser's window size across invocations.

 - Non-local uris can be entered in the location entry.

Changes in printing support

 - Page rendering can be deferred to a thread.

Internationalization support

 - Keyboard shortcut handling has been changed, to help with a longstanding
   complaint about the way in which GTK+ handles multiple keyboard layouts.
   GTK+ now only uses keys from groups other than the current group if they
   are not present in the current group.

GDK changes

 - GdkKeymap emits a state-changed signal when the Caps Lock state changes.

 - There is a predefined type for blank cursors, GDK_BLANK_CURSOR.
