New features in GtkAda 2.22.0
-----------------------------

K506-019 Binding for GtkSpinner

  A new binding Gtk.Spinner has been added.  A Gtk.Spinner is an animated
  widget that can be used to signal the user that some program activity is
  occurring.

K422-015 Design changes and preparation for Gtk-3

  Gtkada.MDI has been slightly changed so that MDI children now have nicer
  looking menubars. MDI notebooks now contain a close button that allows
  the user to close tabs that are not in front.

  The Gtkada.Canvas widget has been completely redesigned to make use of
  Cairo instead of Gdk. Its API should now be Gtk-3 ready.

  Added new Cairo bindings: Cairo.PDF, Cairo.Region, Cairo.SVG. Gdk.Window has
  also been completed with Cairo bindings.

  New package Gtkada.Style to provide Gtk.Style-like drawing primitives that
  use Cairo instead of Gdk.

K125-039 Glade-3 GUI builder

  The GUI builder shipped with GtkAda has been upgraded to Glade-3.

JC10-012 MDI: short titles also applies to title bars

  The MDI can be configured so that floating windows use a short title
  rather than a full title (in particular, for file names, this will generally
  be the base name rather than full path name). This preference now also
  applies to title bars for non-floating windows.

JB29-030 MDI: support for independent perspectives

  It is now possible to configure the MDI so that the perspectives do not
  share the central area (as a result, no window is preserved when switching
  among perspectives, unless they are explicitly part of the new perspective).

JB09-025 High-level API for using Glade-3 and Gtk.Builder

  A new package Gtkada.Builder has been introduced. This provides a
  high-level API for developing GtkAda applications using the Glade-3
  GUI builder.

JA07-018 Bindings to GTK+ printing API

  In addition to bindings already added as part of J510-028, additional
  packages have been provided so that full use of the printing API provided
  by GTK+ is possible.  The existing printing example in testgtk has been
  enhanced to demonstrate how to use the new API.
