14 DAY TRIAL // The GNOME developers are hard at work these days, preparing to unveil the third milestone towards the highly anticipated GNOME 3.18 desktop environment, which means that many of the core components received major updates, including GTK+.
GTK+ 3.17.4 is now available for testing and it includes features like animation of size changes for GtkStack, support for positional CSS selectors like :nth-child, :first-child, and :last-child in GtkFlowBox and GtkListBox, significantly improved touch selection in GtkEntry and GtkTextView, an all-new way to obtain output-only windows, which are being used by GtkOverlay for pass-through overlays, as well as support for GtkListBox in GtkPlacesSidebar.
Moreover, support for PPD-less printing on IPP (Internet Printing Protocol ) printers has been implemented in the Print Dialog, part of bookmark mockups has been implemented, support for setting a page with no padding landed in GtkAssistant, CSS padding support has been added to GtkRevealer, support for windows that have a transparent wrt input was implemented, and better documentation was added for deprecated properties.
Over 35 bugs were plugged, and translations updated
Over 35 bugs have been addressed in the new development release of the GTK+ cross-platform and open-source toolkit. Among the most interesting ones, we can mention a fix for default empty window size with CSD in GtkWindow, various issues with GtkDialog related to the gtk_dialog_run function from GtkListBox, as well as a patch for a return value error in the _gtk_text_handle_set_direction function.
Last but not least, the Catalan, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Occitan, Spanish, and Tajik language translations have been updated. GTK+ 3.17.4 will be available in the upcoming GNOME 3.17.3 desktop environment, both being pre-release software that contain unresolved issues. Thus, we do not recommend using them in production environments. Download GTK+ 3.17.4 right now from Softpedia.
