Overview

We need help getting our basic lib dependencies listed out and kept up to date. Also we need to track which versions of which distros have the needed dependencies.


To get glib and GTK+ dependencies figured out, people can go through the API documentation and look for the 'since' entries saying when calls were added. Then look for those calls in our source. Voila! we'll have base minimum dependencies figured out.


Libs

C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.

Library v 0.45 v 0.46 v 0.47

Cairo ? ? ?
GDK ? ? ?
Glib ? ? 2.16*

libxslt ? ? 1.0.15*
