Installation
============
See the file 'INSTALL'
-How to report bugs
-==================
-
-Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
-(http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product gtk+.) You will need
-to create an account for yourself.
-
-In the bug report please include:
-
-* Information about your system. For instance:
- - What operating system and version
- - What version of X
- - For Linux, what version of the C library
+Release notes for 3.4
+=====================
- And anything else you think is relevant.
+* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
-* How to reproduce the bug.
+Release notes for 3.2
+=====================
- If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program that is built
- in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
- please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
- As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
- of software that can be downloaded.
+* The accessible implementations for GTK+ widgets have been integrated
+ into libgtk itself, and the gail module does not exist anymore. This
+ change should not affect applications very much.
-* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
- when the crash occured.
+Release notes for 3.0
+=====================
-* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
- is not necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error
- is an X error, it will be more useful if the stacktrace
- is produced running the test program with the --sync command
- line option.
+* GTK+ 3 is a major new version of GTK+, which is parallel installable
+ with GTK+ 2.x. For information about porting applications from GTK+ 2.x
+ to GTK+ 3, see the file:
-Patches
-=======
+ docs/reference/gtk/html/migrating.html
-Patches should also be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org. If the
-patch fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment
-to that bug report.
+ Or online at:
-Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch,
-and attach the patch to that bug report.
+ http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/3.0/migrating.html
-Bug reports containing patches should include the PATCH keyword
-in their keyword fields. If the patch adds to or changes the GTK
-programming interface, the API keyword should also be included.
-
-Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -u option to GNU
-diff.)
+* Note that the library sonames in this release have been changed from
+ libgtk-3.0 and libgdk-3.0 to libgtk-3 and libgdk-3, to prevent the
+ library versions from going backwards, compared to the 2.90/91/99
+ releases. Applications will have to be recompiled.
