+
+How to report bugs
+==================
+
+Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
+(http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product glib.) 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
+ - For Linux, what version of the C library
+
+ And anything else you think is relevant.
+
+* How to reproduce the bug.
+
+ If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built
+ in the tests/ 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.
+
+* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
+ when the crash occured.
+
+* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
+ is not necessary.
+
+
+Patches
+=======
+
+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.
+
+Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch,
+and attach the patch to that bug report.
+
+Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -up option to GNU diff.)

+
+Release notes for 3.6
+=====================
+
+* Now follows the XDG Base Directory specification for user
+ configuration and data files. In detail,
+ * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/custom-papers is the new location
+ for $HOME/.gtk-custom-papers
+ * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/bookmarks is the new location
+ for $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks
+ * $XDG_DATA_HOME/themes is preferred over $HOME/.themes
+ * $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons is preferred over $HOME/.icons.
+ Existing files from the old location will still be read
+ if the new location does not exist.
+
+* $HOME/.gtk-3.0 is no longer in the default module load path.
+ If you want to load modules from there, add it to the GTK_PATH
+ environment variable.
+
+Release notes for 3.4
+=====================
+
+* Scroll events have been separated from button events, and smooth
+ scrolling has been added with a separate event mask. Widgets now
+ need to have either GDK_SCROLL_MASK or GDK_SMOOTH_SCROLL_MASK in
+ their event mask to receive scroll events.
+
+* GTK+ now uses <Primary> instead of <Control> in keyboard accelerators,
+ for improved cross-platform handling. This should not affect
+ applications, unless they parse or create these accelerator
+ manually.
+
+* The tacit assumption that the Alt key corresponds to the MOD1
+ modifier under X11 is now a hard requirement.
+
+* The beagle search backend for the file chooser has been dropped.
+ Tracker is the only supported search backend on Linux now.
+
+* GtkNotebook has been changed to destroy its action widgets when
+ it gets destroyed itself. If your application is using action
+ widgets in notebooks, you may have to adjust your code to take
+ this into account.
+
+* GtkApplication no longer uses the gtk mainloop wrappers, so
+ it is no longer possible to use gtk_main_quit() to stop it.
+
+* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
+
+* Excessive dependencies have been culled from Requires: lines
+ in .pc files. Dependent modules may have to declare dependencies
+ that there were getting 'for free' in the past.
+
+
+Release notes for 3.2
+=====================
+
+* 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.
+
+Release notes for 3.0
+=====================
+
+* 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:
+
+ docs/reference/gtk/html/migrating.html
+
+ Or online at:
+
+ http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/3.0/migrating.html
+
+* 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.
