gtkmm 2.1.2
*** gtkmm 2.2
gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.2 wraps GTK+ 2.2
http://www.gtkmm.org.
We expect no major changes before gtkmm 2.2.0. Please consider this a release
candidate.
Like GTK+ 2.2, gtkmm 2.2 contains only API addition, without API or ABI
breakage. We might do bug-fixing work on gtkmm 2.0, but most work will
happen on HEAD, because a stable GTK+ 2.2.0 has already been released.
Contrary to the gtkmm 2.0.2 announcement, gtkmm 2.0.2 will not build
with GTK+ 2.1.x, due to minor API breakage in GTK+.
*** Changes
2.1.2:
* Gtk::Clipboard API finished, with examples, and a book chapter:
http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/ch16.html

* Gtk::TreeView: Some drag-and-drop API improvements, with examples.

* Gtk::TreeModelSort added. (Daniel Elstner)
* Glib::RefPtr: Added swap(). (Daniel Elstner)

* Gdk::Pixmap: Prevent rare segfault in creation. (Daniel Elstner)
* Gtk::AccelGroup::activate(): Implemented as a wrapper of

* Glib::file_open_tmp() and Glib::file_open_contents() implemented.

* win32: Glib::Dispatcher compilation fix. (Naofumi Yasufuku)

About "I should be there, baby!"
--------------------------------
No, this time the release code-name is not the title of a beautiful song from
Tom Waits neither a Mozart's opera as I would like to name all of them. The
name is the reality: that I should be there, in Granada, this nigth, with my
baby, but I can't.

gtkmm 2.1.3
*** gtkmm 2.2
gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.2 wraps GTK+ 2.2
http://www.gtkmm.org.
We expect no major changes before gtkmm 2.2.0. Please consider this a release
candidate. I know I said that last time.
Like GTK+ 2.2, gtkmm 2.2 contains only API addition, without API or ABI
breakage. We might do bug-fixing work on gtkmm 2.0, but most work will
happen on HEAD, because a stable GTK+ 2.2.0 has already been released.
Contrary to the gtkmm 2.0.2 announcement, gtkmm 2.0.2 will not build
with GTK+ 2.1.x, due to minor API breakage in GTK+.
*** Changes
2.1.3:
* Changed library binary version so libtool knows that
2.2 is API compatible with 2.0. We did this wrong in the past
so people MUST do this:
rm <prefix>/lib/lib{glib,pango,atk,gdk,gtk}mm-[12].0.so.[345]*
where <prefix> is something like /usr/local or /opt/gnome2
This will remove previous bad versions of 2.1.x.
* atkmm: Lots of new interfaces wrapped. (Daniel Elstner).
* Gtk::TextView:: Fixed bytes/length confusion in TextBuffer's
insert_text callback. (Daniel Elstner)
