This is a development release leading toward 3.0.
Notes:
* GTK+ 3 will be parallel installable with GTK+ 2.x, and
this release has been prepared to test this by renaming
all .pc files, libraries, include paths, and so forth,
to include a '3.0' component.
* GTK+ 3 will remove deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series
and make struct members unavailable that have been GSEALed
in 2.x. Therefore, applications can be prepared for porting
to GTK+ 3 by making sure that they build with
-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
and -DGSEAL_ENABLE. For more information about porting concerns,
see the porting guide that is included in the API docs.
* Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
What is GTK+
============
GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.
GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.
GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.

Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.91.6 to 2.91.7
==============================================
* The treeview-refactor branch has been merged, bringing more
flexible cell arrangement with GtkCellArea, GtkCellAreaBox, etc
* The gdk-backend branch has been merged. This branch cleans up the
internal frontend/backend separation in GDK, with the ultimate goal
of allowing to build a single gdk library that contains multiple
backends (interesting combinations are x11+wayland or quartz+x11).
For now, GDK is still restricted to a single backend, but
as a first step, the libraries no longer include the backend name
in their soname, but are just libgdk-3.0.so and libgtk-3.0.so.
Only the x11 backend has been kept up to date with this cleanup
work, other backends are broken in this release.
* Deprecations and removals:
- G_SEALed struct members have been removed from GtkWindowGroup,
GtkDrawingArea, GtkTreeStore, GtkTreeModelSort, GtkTreeSelection,
GtkSocket, GtkPrintJob, GtkSelectionData
- Input device handling:
- gdk_display_list_devices, gdk_display_get_core_pointer,
gdk_input_set_extension_events, gtk_widget_set_extension_events,
gdk_devices_list have been removed
- gdk_display_warp_device has been replaced by gdk_device_warp
- gdk_enable_multidevice has been replaced by gdk_disable_multidevice
- Drag-and-Drop:
gdk_drag_context_new, gdk_drag_find_window and gdk_drag_get_protocol
have been removed
- Property handling:
Functions that deal with X11-specific encodings such as Compound Text
have been moved to backend-specific API:
gdk_string_to_compound_text,
gdk_utf8_to_compound_text, gdk_free_compound_text,
gdk_text_property_to_text_list, gdk_free_text_list,
gdk_text_property_to_utf8_list
- Foreign windows:
Functions for dealing with GdkWindow wrappers around foreign
windows have been moved to backend-specific API.
- Application launching:
The gdk_spawn_* APIs have been removed, since they were trivial
wrappers around g_spawn_* on most platforms and can be replaced
by GIO GAppInfo APIs.
- Misc. other functions: gdk_net_wm_supports, gdk_set_locale,
gdkx_visual_get have been either removed, gdk_set_sm_client_id
has been moved to backend-specific API.
* A number of GTK+ widgets have been ported to use GtkStyleContext
directly for rendering
* The tracker search backend for the file chooser has been updated
to work with libtracker-sparql as available in tracker >= 0.9
* The GtkAboutDialog has been given a facelift. It no longer
opens second-level dialogs
* The GDK X11 backend now uses XI2 (including multi-device capabilities)
by default. Use gdk_disable_multidevice() to switch back to the
XI1/Core implementation
