Probably you should revisit the thread that you started on November at gtk-devel: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2013-November/msg00048.html You don't exactly ask the same questions, but are related. > > Just to make sure I understand it now... are you saying that the > current version of atk is usable when programming for either gkt+2 or > gtk+3? Both gtk+2 and gtk+3 depends on ATK, but gtk+3 has a dependency with a newer ATK version afaik. But atk 1.x and atk 2.x are API compatible. That means that you can use the newer ATK with gtk+2, for example. > In other words, even though the API changed for gtk+, glib mostly > remained the same - so therefore if I'm using the current version of > glib I'll need the current version of atk (regardless of which version > of gtk+ I'm using)? Does that sum it up? glib also changed a lot, but it is API compatible. That means that the old glib stuff would still work. But gtk+3 dedpends on some of the newer glib stuff. -- ---- Alejandro Piñeiro _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list gnome-accessibility-devel@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
