What's New in version 2.29:

• always draws with Cairo on GTK+.

What's New in version 2.28:

• allows translucent images in RGBA format to be used for margin markers and in autocompletion lists.

What´s new in this version 2.24:

• fixes a memory leak on GTK+ with Cairo.

What´s new in this version 2.23:

• On GTK+ version 2.22 and later, drawing is performed with Cairo rather than GDK. This is in preparation for GTK+ 3.0 which will no longer support GDK drawing. The appearance of some elements will be different with Cairo as it is anti-aliased and uses sub-pixel positioning. Cairo may be turned on for GTK+ versions before 2.22 by defining USE_CAIRO although this has not been extensively tested.

• Bug fixed where upwards search failed with DBCS code pages. Bug #3065912.
