Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.13.2 to 2.13.3

  • Support runtime font configuration changes
  • Use GIO for mime information
  • Use GIO directly for the file chooser, do not load filesystem implementation modules. This change causes some regressions on Win32, which will be addressed by improved Win32 support in GIO.
  • GTK+ no longer uses translations when the application is not translated to the current locale

20 bugs fixed in this release!

    • New Blog for the GTK+ project!

    Since updating gtk.org I have had a number of comments and one in particular asked for an RSS they could follow with information and news about GTK+. So, this blog has been set up to do just that.

    If there is anyone here that wishes to be added to be able to blog about new and cool things in GTK+, let me know, and I will add you. So far it is just me and soon to be andreas.
