Release notes
=============
* GTK+ 2.6 supports clipboard persistency. To make use of this feature,
a clipboard manager following the specification at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/clipboard-manager-spec
must be running. A sample implementation of such a clipboard manager
is available at
http://people.imendio.com/andersca/archives/clipboard-manager-0.3.tar.gz
Applications can use the function gdk_display_supports_clipboard_persistence()
to find out if clipboard persistence is available.
* Notification on clipboard ownership changes via GdkOwnerChange events
requires the XFIXES X extension. Applications can use the function
gdk_display_supports_selection_notification() to find out if ownerchip
change notification is available.
* The icon theme code in GTK+ 2.6 follows the freedesktop.org icon theme
specification. Setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS environtment variable may be
necessary if your icons aren't installed in the default location
/usr/share/icons.
* The icon theme code in GTK+ 2.6 can make use of mmap()able cache files
to avoid a lot of disk searching overhead. GTK+ includes a utility named
gtk-update-icon-cache to generate these cache files. For further details,
see the gtk-update-icon-cache man page or the GTK+ documentation.
* To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GTK+, when compiled
with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
IA__, may be seen when debugging a GTK+ program.
* The following functions have been deprecated in GTK+ 2.6:
gdk_pango_context_set_colormap
gtk_cell_renderer_editing_canceled
* The new GtkFileChooser widget emphasizes simplicity and thus does
not provide a navigation entry by default when opening files.
Experienced command line users will likely want to make heavy use of
the location dialog brought up by the Control-L key shortcut.
* As compared to GTK+-1.2, the default configuration of GTK+-2 has been
stream-lined to reduce confusion on the part of new users or users
coming from other environments. Users used to older versions of
GTK+ may want to make some adjustments to the default configuration.
- Emacs keybindings such as Control-A and Control-E to move to the
ends of lines are not enabled by default in the editing widgets. To
turn on Emacs keybindings, add the line:
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
To your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
- Editing of menu accelerators by pressing an accelerator over the
menu item is disabled by default. To enable, it, add:
gtk-can-change-accels = 1
to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
- To improve useability for keyboard operation, GTK+ now selects the
contents of an entry when tabbing into it or when it is focused on
initial window map. To disable this behavior, add:
gtk-entry-select-on-focus = 0
to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
* The GTK+ libraries use an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
with prefixes such as _gtk, _gdk, and _pango will be exported
from the library, on others not. In no case can applications
use these private symbols.
* GTK+-2.4 now requires version 2 of Xft; old fashioned core X
fonts are no longer supported.
* There is a bug in the Xft library in XFree86-4.1 and possibly previous
versions that causes random crashes when using the Pango Xft
backend. If you want to use Xft fonts, you should upgrade to
at least XFree86-4.2.
* The gdk_pixbuf_xlib library included in the contrib/ directory of GTK+
is provided on a as-is basis and has not been tested at all. No
guarantees about the degree of workingness or about future
use these private symbols. In addition to that, GTK+ 2.6 makes several
symbols private which were not in any installed header files and
were never intended to be exported.
* The gdk_pixbuf_xlib library included in the contrib/ directory
and the framebuffer GDK backend included in the gdk/linux-fb directory
of GTK+ are provided on an as-is basis and have not been tested at all.
No guarantees about the degree of workingness or about future
compatibility are provided.
* While efforts have been made to make gdk-pixbuf robust against
invalid images, using gdk-pixbuf to load untrusted data
is not recommended, due to the likelyhood that there are
additional problems where an invalid image could cause
gdk-pixbuf to crash or worse.
* The assumption of GLib and GTK+ by default is that filenames on the
filesystem are encoded in UTF-8 rather than the encoding of the locale;
* On Unix, the assumption of GLib and GTK+ by default is that filenames on
the filesystem are encoded in UTF-8 rather than the encoding of the locale;
the GTK+ developers consider that having filenames whose interpretation
depends on the current locale is fundamentally a bad idea.
If you have filenames encoded in the encoding of your locale, then
you may want to set the G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable:
If you have filenames encoded in the encoding of your locale, then you
may want to set the G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable:

(Earlier versions of GLib 2.x required a different environment variable
setting; G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 to achieve the same effect; this
is still supported, but G_FILENAME_ENCODING is preferred.)
Best integration of GTK+-2.4 with the environment is achieved by
Best integration of GTK+ 2.6 with the environment is achieved by
using a UTF-8 locale.
On Windows, filenames passed to GTK+ should always be in UTF-8, as
in GLib 2.6. This is different than in previous versions of GTK+
where the system codepage was used. As in GLib, for DLL ABI
stability, applications built against previous versions of GTK+ will
use entry points providing the old semantics.
When compiling against GTK+ 2.6, applications intended to be
portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
names have been constructed from strings returned from GTK+ or GLib.
