GTK+ 2.9.2 released

[Matthias Clasen <mclasen redhat com>]

GTK+ 2.9.2 is now available for download at:

   http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.9/

gtk+-2.9.2.tar.gz	md5sum: c63e7d0cf7c4e983206c3088a0fb8862
gtk+-2.9.2.tar.bz2	md5sum: 17629437af44fce03485101371c8f041

This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.10.  


Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. 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+ 2.8. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.8.

 * GTK+ 2.10 will be source compatible with the GTK+ 2.8 series; 
   the new API additions in GTK+ 2.9.0 are not yet completely 
   finalized, so there are likely incompatibilies between this 
   release and the final 2.10 release.
 
 * The ABI version has been bumped from 2.4.0 to 2.10.0, since
   the filechooser backend interface has been changed. Third-party
   filechooser backends need to be ported to the new interface.
   Other third-party modules (input methods, image loaders, etc) 
   just need to be reinstalled in the proper location for GTK+ to 
   find them.

 * Remaining issues for GTK+ 2.10 can be found with following
   bugzilla query:
   
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gtk%2b&target_milestone=2.10+API+Freeze&target_milestone=2.10+Freeze&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

 * 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.
