GTK 2.6 released

Friday, December 17th, 2004

They just released GTK 2.6. It’s got a lot of new features that I’ve been wanting:

• GtkCellRenderers for dropdowns and progressbars (these can be used in a list.. nice for ListPatron)
• The combo box can now display trees, insensitive rows and separators.
• Path entry in the file chooser widget (no more need for using ctrl-l
• Performance improvements in GtkListStore (not in GtkTreeView though :( )

Hope it’ll be packaged for Debian Unstable soon, though I’m not holding my breath for it. I really want to use some of these new features for use in ListPatron, but I’d rather not have my project depened on such new libs.
