+Release notes for 2.14
+======================
+
+* gtkitemfactory.h is now completely deprecated.
+  As gtkactiongroup.h and gtkstock.h no longer include the gtkitemfactory.h
+  header, this might break application using gtk_item_factory_* symbols
+  without including gtkitemfactory.h - even though this behaviour has never
+  been supported in the first place.
+
+* The GtkFileSystem semi-private interface has been removed.
+  The GTK+ filechooser implementation now uses GIO directly, which has
+  rendered external filesystem implementations unnecessary. Consequently,
+  the GtkFileSystem interface is no longer available, nor the filechooser
+  will load any GtkFileSystem implementation.
+
+* GtkComboBox now renders the popdown button insensitive when
+  the model is empty. Applications which want to populate the list
+  only before displaying it can set gtk_combo_box_set_button_sensitivity
+  to GTK_SENSITIVITY_ON, so that the button is always sensitive or
+  GTK_SENSITIVITY_OFF to make it insensitive respectively.
+
+* GtkAdjustment now enforces that values are restricted to the
+  range [lower, upper - page_size]. This has always been the documented
+  behaviour, and the recommended practice is to set page_size to 0
+  when using adjustments for simple scalar values, like in a slider
+  or spin button. 
+
+* gdk-pixbuf will use GIO for mime type detection if possible. For
+  this to work, shared-mime-info needs to be installed and XDG_DATA_DIRS
+  set accordingly at configure time. Otherwise, gdk-pixbuf falls
+  back to its built-in sniffing implementation.

 * gtk_menu_item_remove_submenu() has been deprecated in favour of
   gtk_menu_item_set_submenu (..., NULL).
 
+* gtk_default_draw_check() has been fixed to really decrease the
+  indicator size by one pixel to ensure an odd size instead of
+  accidentially increasing it.
+  Consequently, gtk_cell_renderer_toggle_render() could be fixed to
+  not subtract 1 from the size passed to gtk_paint_option(), which
+  was just a workaround for above off-by-two for even sizes (theme
+  engines now get the real indicator size passed).
+  The default toggle size of GtkCheckMenuItem and GtkCellRendererToggle
+  has been changed to 13 to be consistent with GtkCheckButton.
+  The only visible change with default settings is that the indicator in
+  GtkCellRendererToggle has changed its size from 11 to 13 and is now
+  consistent with menus and toggle buttons.
+
+* GTK+ has always required that gtk_init() (or a variant thereof) is
+  called before any other GTK+ function. Some applications call functions
+  like gtk_clipboard_get() to check if they need to call gtk_init(),
+  anyway. A change in GLib 2.14 has recently broken this unsupported
+  practise. It is worth pointing out that calling gtk_init() twice
+  does no harm.
