GTK + third version released

GTK + developers have announced the release of the third version of this library of elements of the interface.

Among the main changes:

• For rendering all vector graphics, the Cairo software library is now used. GDK is no longer a wrapper for the obsolete X Window System APIs.
• Support for new input devices.
• A new API for themes, allowing you to use CSS syntax to customize them.
• More flexible geometry management.
• Support for multiple GDK back-end. In GTK + 2.x, you had to rebuild applications for working with another GDK back-end. In GTK + 3, they can be embedded in one library and selected during operation.

Due to the fact that the ABI and the API have changed in GTK + 3, applications on GTK + 2.x will need some adjustments before they can be used with GTK + 3. Instructions: library.gnome.org/devel/gtk3/3.0/migrating. html
