NAME
libXaw - X Athena Widgets
DESCRIPTION
Xaw is a widget set based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt) Library.
This release of Oracle Solaris includes the latest version of the Xaw
library. Since the libXaw object model exposes structure sizes and lay-
outs as part of the ABI, binary compatibility is not always maintained
between major releases from the upstream X Window System projects.
libXaw.so.7 is the current release of libXaw, from the X11R7 release
series. Headers are provided for building applications against this
version, and the libXaw compilation link for -lXaw points to this ver-
sion.
libXaw.so.5 and libXaw.so.4 were previously provided for binary compat-
ibility with applications built on older Solaris releases, but are no
longer included in this release. libXaw.so.5 was compatible with the
X11R5 and X11R6 release series, and was the version of libXaw that
applications built on Solaris 2.3 through Solaris 10 were linked with.
libXaw.so.4 was based on the X11R4 sources, and was linked to applica-
tions built on Solaris 2.2 and prior releases of Solaris.
Applications using the Athena Widgets which need to run on current and
future releases of Solaris should be rebuilt against the current Xaw
headers and libXaw.so.7 library.

NOTES
libXaw is provided for the benefit of existing software written to use
this library. For writing new software, it is strongly recommended
that a modern toolkit, such as libgtk-3(3lib), is used instead, to pro-
vide required features such as full internationalization and accessi-
bility support, antialiased text, modern rendering engines, and better
integration with the desktop.
