---------------------------------
New GTK Runtimes
---------------------------------

In order to minimize the size of the installation and to avoid unnecessary conflict with other applications, Point Grey has removed the dependency on GTK for FlyCapture 2.2 on Windows.

Point Grey has added GTK runtimes for download on our downloads site if users would like to use GTK as part of their application or use example GTK utilities created by Point Grey.

If using FlyCap2GTK or UpdatorGUI2 from the FlyCapture2.2 installation, please download the appropriate GTK runtimes from the downloads site. Please note that our Linux installation still requires GTK to be installed as a prerequisite for any GUI examples or applications.

For more information, please contact Point Grey Support.
