Gtk2 1.191 (unstable) available



Overview of changes in Gtk2 1.191
=================================

* Wrap a lot of new API from gtk+ 2.14, among which:
  - gtk_builder_add_objects_from_file and gtk_builder_add_objects_from_string
  - gtk_calendar_set_detail_func
  - gtk_clipboard_request_uris, gtk_clipboard_wait_for_uris, and
    gtk_clipboard_wait_is_uris_available
  - gtk_icon_info_new_for_pixbuf
  - gtk_page_setup_load_file and gtk_page_setup_load_key_file
  - gtk_print_settings_load_file and gtk_print_settings_load_key_file
  - gtk_widget_get_snapshot
  - gtk_show_uri
  - gdk_screen_get_monitor_height_mm, gdk_screen_get_monitor_width_mm, and
    gdk_screen_get_monitor_plug_name
  - gdk_window_redirect_to_drawable and gdk_window_remove_redirection
* Improve the documentation in many places.
* For Gtk2::CellRenderer subclasses, use a more robust approach for chaining up
  in the fallback implementations of interface functions.
* Correctly marshal the push_in return value of Gtk2::Menu position callback.
* Fix marshaling of the rows-reordered signal for custom Perl tree models.
* Fix the gtk_plug_new_for_display wrapper so it is callable as
  Gtk2::Plug->new_for_display(display, socket_id).
* Provide Gtk2::TreeIter::set for custom model implementations to set the
  contents of an iter.
* Wrap gtk_widget_hide_on_delete.

This is an unstable development release of Gtk2, containing new
features and other cool stuff that have been added since the 1.18x
stable series.  Report any bugs to gtk-perl-list AT gnome DOT org as
soon as possible.  Please use the stable 1.16x series for important
work.

The source code is available from the gtk2-perl project page on
sourceforge:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Gtk2-1.191.tar.gz

...and from anonymous cvs, tagged "rel-1-19-1" in the directory
/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2.

This module requires these other modules and libraries:

   perl >= 5.8.0
   Glib >= 1.190 (perl module)
   GTK+ > 2.x (C library and prerequisites)

If GTK+ is as new or newer as 2.8, the Cairo module is also required:

  Cairo >= 1.00 (Perl module)

In order to build it from source, you'll also need

   ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.300
   ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.030
   development headers for gtk+ and friends

Gtk2 is a Perl extension providing Perl bindings to the 2.x series of
the Gtk+ graphical user interface library.  This module allows you to
write graphical user interfaces in a perlish and object-oriented way,
freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining
very close in spirit to original API.  Find out more about Gtk+ at
<http://www.gtk.org>, and about Gtk2-Perl at
<http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/>.
