GTK+ 2.91.3 released

GTK+ 2.91.3 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.91/
 http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.91/

f5c057f18771fc1ebe7394454ffa2d1e3c2cbeba03168c2553d377826196be0a  gtk

+-2.91.3.tar.gz

This is a development release leading toward 3.0.

Notes:

 * GTK+ 3 will be parallel installable with GTK+ 2.x, and
   this release has been prepared to test this by renaming
   all .pc files, libraries, include paths, and so forth,
   to include a '3.0' component.

 * GTK+ 3 will remove deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series
   and make struct members unavailable that have been GSEALed
   in 2.x. Therefore, applications can be prepared for porting
   to GTK+ 3 by making sure that they build with
-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
   and -DGSEAL_ENABLE. For more information about porting concerns,
   see the porting guide that is included in the API docs.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 2.91.3

*** gtkmm 2.91:

gtkmm 2.91 (previously 2.90) wraps GTK+ 2.91. It is the gtkmm-3.0 ABI and installs in 
parallel with the gtkmm-2.4 ABI, of which gtkmm 2.20 is currently the latest stable 
version. This allows application developers to start using it when they choose to, 
without being forced, and without breaking existing installed applications.

gtkmm-3.0 will be mostly API-compatible with gtkmm-2.4, though some small 
changes will be needed in application source code.

Note that there will also be a gtkmm 2.23 (to become 2.24) version, which has small 
API additions.

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.

http://www.gtkmm.org

*** Changes

2.91.3 (unstable):

Gtk:
* Assistant: Added next_page() and previous_page().
* Box: Added a public constructor.
* RecentInfo: Added create_app_info().
* Scrollable: Added get/set_h/vscroll_policy().

GTK+/MeeGo Handset integration work, call for bids: Deadline

Following our call for bids less than a month ago, it turns out that
most people work better under pressure [1]. So we have set a deadline
date for the bids to come in.

The date is Friday 19th November 2010. We'll likely start going through
the bids the following week, so we're pretty flexible for what time
we'll receive the bids, so you don't need to worry about timezones.

Looking forward to receiving your bids!

gtkmm installer and the gtk-win installer. Please install one as

ANNOUNCE: Glom 1.19.1

*** Glom

With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships between 
them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit and search the 
data in those tables, and specify field values in terms of other fields. 
It's as easy as it should be.

More information and screenshots are at
http://www.glom.org

1.9.1 (unstable):

* Choices: Allow multiple extra fields, and allow them to be related fields
  or even doubly-related fields.
  See http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2010/10/07/glom-choice-drop-downs-can-show-related-fields/
* Added a --stop-auto-server-shutdown command-line option for debugging.
* Build:
  - Use gtkmm-3.0 instead of gtkmm-2.4.
  - Use goocanvasmm-2.0 instead of goocanvasmm-1.0.
  - Use gtksourceviewmm-3.0 instead of gtksourceviewmm-2.0.
