Gtk2 is a Perl extension providing Perl bindings to the 2.x series of  
the Gtk+ graphical user interface library.  This module allows you to  
write graphical user interfaces in a perlish and object-oriented way,  
freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining  
very close in spirit to original API.  Find out more about Gtk+ at  
http://www.gtk.org , and about Gtk2-Perl at  
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/ .

Reminder:  the 1.03x series is an unstable development series.  We need  
your help to test these out and shake out bugs, but be warned that the  
APIs are not frozen and the code is not guaranteed to work.

As always, the code is available from our sourceforge project page:
https://sourceforge.net/project/ 
showfiles.php?group_id=64773&package_id=91218&release_id=212342

...and from anonymous cvs, tagged rel-1-03-1 in the directory  
/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2 .

Overview of Changes in Gtk2 1.031
=================================

* Added binding support for objects and functions new in gtk+-2.3.x.   
Not
   all tests are complete.  Updated gtk-demo and examples to use the new  
stuff
   if available.  This code will be protected by 2.4.0 version guards  
when
   gtk+-2.4.0 is finally released.  Note: The unstable-2-3-x-branch in  
CVS
   is now dead.  [muppet]
* Updated Glib requirement to 1.031.
* New example in gtk-demo (ported from C) shows how to make hyperlinks  
in
   a TextView. [muppet, from gtk+]
* Converted all of the Gtk2::Gdk::Event accessors into combination  
accessors
   and mutators. [Ross]
* Provide a fallback implementation of Gtk2::Gdk::Event::new when  
linking
   against gtk+-2.0.x, so we can always create events (needed for  
synthesizing
   events in tests). [muppet]
* Even yet still more tests (grand total 2087). [Torsten]
* Don't copy colors when accessing Style members; this makes it  
possible to
   change the colors in a style. [Torsten]
* Various little bugfixes, memory leak plugs, ornulls, doc updates,  
build
   enhancements, etc.
