==========================
What's new in version 2.0
==========================

Overall library had a huge rewriting to be compatible with Gtk+ 2.0.
Users upgrading from VDK 1.2.5 should suffer little code breaks since
API had little or no changes.
Some widgets are now deprecated even if still supported for compatibility
reason. Newly written code should not use them.

Deprecated widgets:
------------------
VDKCustomList
VDKCustomTree
VDKPixmap

Widget not more supported:
--------------------------
- gtkcombobutton
	Used on VDKCustomButton class which is now modified, 
	with API unchanged.

- VDKFileTreeDialog
	Based on an old gtkdirtree widget
	
- VDKDatabox
	Based on gtkdatabox.
	
- VDKGrid
	Based on gtksheet.
	
- VDKFileIconDialog
	Based on gtkiconfilesel, same as above.

- VDKCoolbar and VDKCoolButton
	Was already "deprecated" on previous vdk 
	versions.

- VDKPanedForm and VDKScrolledForm
	As above, was deprecated.

- VDKColorBrowser
	It depends on VDKGrid

- VDKLabelToggleButton and VDKPixmapToggleButton
	Deprecated and substituted with VDKCustomButtons.

- VDKPacker

- VDKText


New widgets and features:
------------------------
- VDKTextView 
	A GtkTextView wrapper that would substitute
	deprecated and buggy VDKText.

- VDKEditor
	A nice source editor wrapping Mike Hamerson gtksourceview 0.0.2
	(still on alpha), with syntax hilighting and other nice feautures
	such as word completion (ctrl-tab) , parent matching, etc.

- VDKImage
	A GtkImage wrapper that should substitute VDKPixmap.

- VDKThread
	A simple wrapper on posix threads.

- VDKInputChannel
	A wrapper for gdk_input
	Thanks to Jonathan Hudson  <jonathan@daria.co.uk> .
