-GTK+-2.0.0 Specific Notes
-=========================
-
-* The default configuration of GTK+ has been stream-lined to reduce
- confusion on the part of new users or users coming from other
- environments. Users used to older versions of GTK+ may want to make
- some adjustments to the default configuration.
-
- - Emacs keybindings such as Control-A and Control-E to move to the
- ends of lines are not enabled by default in the editing widgets. To
- turn on Emacs keybindings, add the line:
-
- gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
-
- To your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
-
- - Editing of menu accelerators by pressing an accelerator over the
- menu item is disabled by default. To enable, it, add:
-
- gtk-can-change-accels = 1
-
- to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
-
- - To improve useability for keyboard operation, GTK+ now selects the
- contents of an entry when tabbing into it or when it is focused on
- initial window map. To disable this behavior, add:
-
- gtk-entry-select-on-focus = 0
-
- to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
+Release notes
+=============
+
+* GTK+ 2.6 supports clipboard persistency. To make use of this feature,
+ a clipboard manager following the specification at
+ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/clipboard-manager-spec
+ must be running. A sample implementation of such a clipboard manager
+ is available at
+ http://people.imendio.com/andersca/archives/clipboard-manager-0.3.tar.gz
+ Applications can use the function gdk_display_supports_clipboard_persistence()
+ to find out if clipboard persistence is available.
+
+* Notification on clipboard ownership changes via GdkOwnerChange events
+ requires the XFIXES X extension. Applications can use the function
+ gdk_display_supports_selection_notification() to find out if ownerchip
+ change notification is available.
+
+* The icon theme code in GTK+ 2.6 follows the freedesktop.org icon theme
+ specification. Setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS environtment variable may be
+ necessary if your icons aren't installed in the default location
+ /usr/share/icons.
+
+* The icon theme code in GTK+ 2.6 can make use of mmap()able cache files
+ to avoid a lot of disk searching overhead. GTK+ includes a utility named
+ gtk-update-icon-cache to generate these cache files. For further details,
+ see the gtk-update-icon-cache man page or the GTK+ documentation.
+
+* To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GTK+, when compiled
+ with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
+ points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
+ IA__, may be seen when debugging a GTK+ program.
+
+* The following functions have been deprecated in GTK+ 2.6:
+ gdk_pango_context_set_colormap
+ gtk_cell_renderer_editing_canceled
+
+* The new GtkFileChooser widget emphasizes simplicity and thus does
+ not provide a navigation entry by default when opening files.
+ Experienced command line users will likely want to make heavy use of
+ the location dialog brought up by the Control-L key shortcut.
