Incompatible Changes from GTK+-1.2 to GTK+-1.4:
* The gdk_time* functions have been removed. This functionality
has been unused since the main loop was moved into GLib
prior to 1.2.
* The signature for GtkPrintFunc (used for gtk_item_factory_dump_items)
has been changed to take a 'const gchar *' instead of 'gchar *', to
match what we do for glib, and other similar cases.
* The detail arguments in the GtkStyleClass structure are now 'const gchar *'.
* gtk_paned_set_gutter_size() has been removed, since the small handle tab
has been changed to include the entire area previously occupied by
the gutter.
* GDK no longer selects OwnerGrabButtonMask for button presses. This means
that the automatic grab that occurs when the user presses a button
will have owner_events = FALSE, so all events are redirected to the
grab window, even events that would normally go to other windows of the
window's owner.
* GtkColorSelectionDialog has now been moved into it's own set of files,
gtkcolorseldialog.c and gtkcolorseldialog.h.
* gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask() now keeps a reference count on the
mask pixmap that is passed in.
* Type system changes:
- GTK_TYPE_OBJECT is not a fundamental type anymore. Type checks of the
style (GTK_FUNDAMENTAL_TYPE (some_type) == GTK_TYPE_OBJECT)
will not work anymore. As a replacement, (GTK_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (some_type))
can be used now.
- The following types vanished: GTK_TYPE_ARGS, GTK_TYPE_CALLBACK,
GTK_TYPE_C_CALLBACK, GTK_TYPE_FOREIGN. The corresponding GtkArg
fields and field access macros are also gone.
- The following type aliases vanished: GTK_TYPE_FLAT_FIRST,
GTK_TYPE_FLAT_LAST, GTK_TYPE_STRUCTURED_FIRST, GTK_TYPE_STRUCTURED_LAST.
- The type macros GTK_TYPE_MAKE() and GTK_TYPE_SEQNO() vanished, use of
GTK_FUNDAMENTAL_TYPE() is discouraged. Instead, the corresponding GType
API should be used: G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL(), G_TYPE_DERIVE_ID(),
G_TYPE_BRANCH_SEQNO(). Note that the GLib type system doesn't build new
type ids based on a global incremental sequential number anymore, but
numbers new type ids sequentially per fundamental type branch.
- The following type functions vanished/were replaced:
Old Function Replacement
gtk_type_query() - being investigated -
gtk_type_set_varargs_type() -
gtk_type_get_varargs_type() -
gtk_type_check_object_cast() g_type_check_instance_cast()
gtk_type_check_class_cast() g_type_check_class_cast()
gtk_type_describe_tree() -
gtk_type_describe_heritage() -
gtk_type_free() -
gtk_type_children_types() g_type_children()
gtk_type_set_chunk_alloc() GTypeInfo.n_preallocs
gtk_type_register_enum() g_enum_register_static()
gtk_type_register_flags() g_flags_register_static()
gtk_type_parent_class() g_type_parent() / g_type_class_peek_parent()
Use of g_type_class_ref() / g_type_class_unref() and g_type_class_peek()
is recommended over usage of gtk_type_class().
Use of g_type_register_static() / g_type_register_dynamic() is recommended
over usage of gtk_type_unique().
* Object system changes:
GtkObject derives from GObject, so is not the basic object type anymore.
This imposes the following source incompatible changes:
- GtkObject has no klass field anymore, an object's class can be retrived
with the object's coresponding GTK_<OBJECT>_GET_CLASS (object) macro.
- GtkObjectClass has no type field anymore, a class's type can be retrived
with the GTK_CLASS_TYPE (class) macro.
- GtkObjectClass does not introduce the finalize() and shutdown() methods
anymore. While shutdown() is intended for GTK+ internal use only, finalize()
is required by a variety of object implementations. GObjectClass.finalize
should be overriden here, e.g.:
static void gtk_label_finalize (GObject *gobject)
{
GtkLabel *label = GTK_LABEL (gobject);
G_OBJECT_CLASS (parent_class)->finalize (object);
}
static void gtk_label_class_init (GtkLabelClass *class)
{
GObjectClass *gobject_class = G_OBJECT_CLASS (class);
gobject_class->finalize = gtk_label_finalize;
}
- the GtkObject::destroy signal can now be emitted multiple times on an object.
::destroy implementations should check that make sure that they take this
into account, by checking to make sure that resources are there before
freeing them. For example:
if (object->foo_data)
{
g_free (object->foo_data);
object->foo_data = NULL;
}
Also, ::destroy implementations have to release object references that
the object holds. Code in finalize implementations such as:
if (object->adjustment)
{
gtk_object_unref (object->adjustment);
object->adjustment = NULL;
}
have to be moved into the ::destroy implementations. The reason for doing
this is that all object reference cycles should be broken at destruction
time.
- Inserting and deleting text in GtkEntry though functions such
as gtk_entry_insert_text() now leave the cursor at its original
position in the text instead of moving it to the location of
the insertion/deletion.
- The ->label field of GtkFrame widgets has been removed. (As part of
a change to allow the arbitrary widgets in the title position.) The
text can now be retrieved with the new function gtk_frame_get_text().
- The 'font' and 'font_set' declarations in RC files are now ignored. There
is a new 'font_name' field that holds the string form of a Pango font
- A number of types in GDK have become subclasses of GObject. For the
most part, this should not break anyone's code. However, it's now
possible/encouraged to use g_object_ref()/g_object_unref() and other
GObject features with these GDK types. The converted types are:
GdkWindow, GdkDrawable, GdkPixmap, GdkImage, GdkGC, GdkDragContext,
GdkColormap
- All drawables including pixmaps used to have a type tag, the
GdkWindowType enumeration, which included GDK_WINDOW_PIXMAP.
GdkWindowType is now a property of GdkWindow _only_, and there is
no GDK_WINDOW_PIXMAP. You can use the GDK_IS_PIXMAP() macro to see
if you have a pixmap, if you need to know that.
- GtkStyle and GtkRcStyle are now subclasses of GObject as well.
This breaks theme engines quite badly, but shouldn't affect most
other code.
- xthickness/ythickness have moved from GtkStyleClass to GtkStyle
(from class to instance). This gives themes a bit more flexibility
and is generally more of the Right Thing. You can trivially fix
your code with s/style->klass->xthickness/style->xthickness/g and
same for ythickness.
- If you were using private GDK types, they have been rearranged
significantly. You shouldn't use private types. ;-)
