GTK+ Foundation Classes User Interface Library
==============================================
GFC-UI 2.3.1 - development release
Description
===========
The GTK+ Foundation Classes (formerly Inti) is an set of integrated C++
classes for developing GTK+ applications on UNIX-like systems such as
Linux. GFC-UI is the user interface library and includes C++ wrappers
for most objects in the ATK, GDK, GTK, GdkPixbuf and Pango libraries.
There is a standard string compatible UTF-8 string class, automatic
memory management, an optimized virtual signal handler system and a
typesafe system of C++ signal and slots. It comes with a full set of
example programs, several test applications, a GNU Autotools test
project, a C++ version of the GTK+ widget demonstration program,
extensive reference documentation and a tutorial.
Dependancies
============
GFC-Core 2.3.1 or higher.
GTK 2.4.0 or higher
libsigc++ 2.0.0 or higher
Enhancements from Inti 1.2 to GFC-Core 2.3.1
============================================
- New Signal System optimized for size, speed and performance.
- Uses the new libsigc2 C++ callback library. Instead of calling
slot() you now call the sigc:: functions mem_fun() or ptr_fun(),
- Wrapped C objects passed to slot functions connected via class
proxy signals.
- GFC objects can now be created dynamically or on the stack.
Objects created on the stack no longer need to be unreferenced
by calling unref().
- All functions taking a String argument have been overloaded with
const char* to avoid construction of a temporary String object
when passing string literals.
- Removed unnecessary GObject properties from classes that provide
getter and setter functions. The only classes that use properties
now are Gtk::Action, Gtk::CellRenderer and Gtk::TextTag.
- Removed the deprecated widgets Gtk::Combo, Gtk::OptionMenu and
Gtk::ItemFactory. For option menus use ComboBoxText and the
append_text() function.
- Removed all functions taking variable argument lists, except for
the Gtk::ListStore and Gtk::TreeStore constructors.
- Gtk::TreeViewColumn functions now take a CellRenderer reference
instead of a pointer.
- Changed C++ header file extension from .h to .hh to avoid
confusion with C header files.
- Test progams added for the new GTK+ 2.4 widgets.
- Examples and documentation updated.
