Since it is an API breaking release and it is too match the upstream API (also breaking), I believe the need for fixing clients is a reasonable drawback. As a user of gtkmm I'm ok with that. It would be counter productive otherwise. Hub _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
