ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.19.6

[news 28]

*** gtkmm 2.20:

 

gtkmm 2.19 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.19. It will become the API/ABI-stable

gtkmm 2.20 when GTK+ 2.20.0 is released. gtkmm 2.19 is API/ABI-compatibile with

gtkmm >=2.4. It is a version of the gtkmm-2.4 API.

 

gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:

http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

 

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also

API-stable.

*** Changes

 

gtkmm 2.19.6 (unstable):

 

Gtk:

* Action: Do not deprecate connect_proxy(), disconnect_proxy(),

block_activate_from() and unblock_activate_from(), because we cannot yet derive

existing classes from Activatable until we can break ABI.

Bug #608109 (David Trowbridge)

* EntryBuffer: Actually use GtkEntryBuffer.

* Paned: Added get_handle_window().

* ToolTip: Added set_icon(Gio::Icon).

* Widget:

- Added set/get_realized(), set/get_mapped() and style_attach().

- get_requisition(): Reimplemented with the new

gtk_widget_get_requisition() function.

- Un-deprecate get_action() because we cannot yet derive

existing classes from Activatable until we can break ABI.

* Use Glib::wrap() instead of ->gobj() in some places, so we are generally

more forgiving of null RefPtrs.
