Another release in the 3.1 development cycle.

============

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 in GTK+ 3.1.6
=================================

* GtkOverlay is a new container that allows to place one or more
  'overlay' widgets on top of another widget. This can be used
  for 'floating statusbars' and similar interfaces.

* GtkLockButton has been simplified in appearance to look like
  a normal button

* GtkNotebook now supports height-for-width layout

* Accessibility for menuitems and combo boxes has been restored

* The horizontal and vertical subclasses of GtkBox, GtkPaned,
  GtkSeparator, GtkScrollbar, GtkScale and GtkButtonBox have
  been deprecated

* The print dialog can now display color profile information

* Many enhancements and fixes to CSS theming
- The CSS parser has been rewritten with the goal of better
   CSS compliance and improved error handling
- A testsuite for the parser has been added
- Attributes can be inherited from parent widgets
- Shorthand properties are supported
- Color and font attributes are now inherited
- Borders and padding are now handled much more consistently,
   and border-radius support is more complete
- text-shadow, box-shadow and icon-shadow attributes are now
   supported
- nth-child works for boxes
