Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2011-03-26 20:51:15 UTC 
The desired effect can in most cases be achieved by using the "halign", "valign" and "margin" properties on the child widget, so GtkMisc should not be used in new code.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-05-04 12:50:30 UTC 
Here is my checklist of things to do before any new deprecations:

- Ensure the new api actually fully covers all use cases of the old (can maybe use reftests)
- Make the gtk tree free of the old api
- Write good docs (migration guide), and cross-references from old to new api
- Add the actual deprecation
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-05-06 21:29:18 UTC 
I've added some reftests in tests/reftests/misc-alignment.ui
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2012-03-02 11:57:58 UTC 
GtkMisc is still used in multiple places inside gtk
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2014-05-13 12:46:18 UTC 
Deprecated it now
