gtkmm 2.2.8

gtkmm 2.2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. gtkmm 2.2 wraps GTK+ 2.2
http://www.gtkmm.org

Like GTK+ 2.2, gtkmm 2.2 contains only API addition, without API
or ABI breakage, compared to gtkmm 2.0

Changes

2.2.8:

  • Fixed “inacccessible base” build errors with gcc 3.3.2.
    (Bradley Bell)
  • win32: Re-enabled our wrappers for parts of the GTK+ API that
    are now properly exported on Windows by GTK+. See README.win32 for
    more details. (Cedric Gustin)
  • Documentation:
    • book:
      -Updated DrawingArea chapter for gtkmm2 (the last chapter that
      needed to be updated) (Ainsley Pereira)

      • Mentioned Treeviews with popup menus, with example. (Murray
        Cumming)
      • The libglademm chapter has a clearer explanation of the memory
        management, and mentions the new get_widget_derived() method.
        (Murray Cumming)
    • Distribute doxygen tags for use by the documentation of related
      projects. (Bradley Bell)
    • Build and install a devhelp file for the reference docs. This
      doesn’t work yet, but hopefully it’s easy to fix. ([email protected])
