if gdk-pixbuf remained inside gtk+ then it would have been bumped to the same 3.0 major version. there are other libraries depending on gdk-pixbuf (clutter and librsvg being two) that would have been required to bump their API/ABI even though they didn't strictly need it, since gdk-pixbuf's API was not being reworked. while there may be plans for a better gdk-pixbuf in the future there was no need to push through a major version bump without a clear roadmap. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
