GTK+ 2.9.0 has been released. This is the first development release leading up to GTK+ 2.10. For completeness: "GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites."

No, it's about GTK+ 2.9.0 -- and one "new" feature in GTK+ 2.9.0 is something that NeXT had in the 80's.

So not entirely off-topic.

The framework for d'n'd has been there since gtk 1.x; the framework for d'n'd of the notebook widget's tabs has been introduced with 2.9.0.

actually, applications implemented that framework by themselves - it has been integrated back by gtk.

He's replying to someone... This guy shouldn't have votes, seriously...

This forum is getting to be ridiculous, if people can't be slightly off topic inside a thread...

If you want to mod something off-topic, you should mod the original poster down. Modding me down for responding is a bit excessive, especially as the information was correct and to some degree interesting.

After all, some degree of topic drift should be allowed in the thread to make the resulting conversation a bit interesting. There's a difference between talking about the history of certain features (it's interesting how ahead of its time NeXT was), and just bringing up off-topic comments for inflammatory effect (e.g. KDE).

I'm a bit annoyed, to be frank, in over 200 comments this is only the fifth time I've been modded down.

Again, I'd love to know which GTK+ 2.9.0 feature you're talking about.
