Hey there,
We're providing a new PyGTK release candidate for testing:
http://www.gnome.org/~jdahlin/pygtk-2.2.0-RC1.tar.gz
It requires at least GTK+ 2.2.0. Note that this is a *release
candidate* and not a final release: be warned it may hurt your feelings,
steal your lunch money, or worse.
It includes a number of changes done in CVS since the last pygtk
release; Lorenzo has provided a short summary of changes included, which
I've included below. We'd really appreciate testing and bug reports on
this release; please take the time out to download and test it to ensure
it works for your application[s]. Bug reports, as always, should go to
Bugzilla; check out http://pygtk.org/developer.html and
http://pygtk.org/feedback.html for links to posting and querying bug
reports for PyGTK.
We currently have two blocker bugs on the [tentative] final release:
GtkTextSearchFlags warning in GTK+ 2.2
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136204
GdkPixbuf.fill passed arg changed type originating crash
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136205
Help in fixing or advising on the blockers is also much appreciated.
Lorenzo's summarized change list follows:
- Better support for gtk.gdk.Pixbuf integration with Numerical
arrays (Tim Evans)
- Added gtk.gdk.Eventkey.hardware_code (Johan)
- Added gtk.binding_entry_remove and gtk.accel_group_connect (Gustavo)
- Don't allow reading non readable properties (James)
- Better support for Pygtk generation tools (codegen, m4 macros,
h2def, Makefile.am ...) (James, Jon Willeke, Xavier, Johan)
- Allow None return values in gtk.GenericCellRenderer.start_editing (Johan)
- Better and more flexible support for TreeModel and TreeView API:
- Implemented gtk.TreeSelection.get_selected_rows
- Allow None iter for gtk.GenericTreeModel.iter_n_children
(Don Allingham)
- Allow None parent for gtk.TreeMode.iter_children (Benjamin Cama)
- Allow None iterator values in gtk.TreeModel (John Ehresman)
- Implemented the gtk.ListStore.reorder method (Johan)
- Swap parent and child argument for gtk.TreeModel.get_parent (Johan)
- Allow None arguments for gtk.Widget.modify_* ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
- Added support for some GTK+ 2.2 APIs (James):
- Better support for gtk.Clipboard: set_with_data
- Better support for gtk.gdk.Window: set_geometry_hints,
peek_children, set_icon_list, for gtk.gdk.Screen:
get_setting; and for gtk.Display: get_window_at_pointer
- gdk.Pixbuf.get_formats() returns a list of dictionaries
- More functions wrapped for GdkDisplay and GdkScreen
- Removed gtkgl bindings
- And lots of bug fixes: gdk.event_get_axis (Seth), distutils (Alif
Wahid), mem leaks, gtk.Menu.popup (Gustavo)

particularly to Johan and Gustavo who did most of the heavy lifting for
this release candidate.
Take care,
