See the file 'INSTALL'
-How to report bugs
-==================
-
-Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking
-system. (http://bugs.gnome.org). To report a problem
-about GTK+, send mail to submit@bugs.gnome.org.
-
-The subject of the mail should describe your problem.
-In the body of the mail, you should first include
-a "pseudo-header" that gives the package and
-version number. This should be separated by a blank
-line from the actual headers.
-
- Package: gtk+
- Version: @GTK_VERSION@
-
-[ Please substitute @GTK_VERSION@ with the version of GTK+ that
- you have installed ]
-
-Then describe the bug. Include:
-
-* Information about your system. For instance:
-
- - What operating system and version
- - What version of X
- - 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 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.
-
- (Bugs that can be reproduced within the GIMP are almost as good
- as bugs that can be reproduced in testgtk. If you are reporting a
- bug found with the GIMP, please include the version number of the GIMP
- you are using)
-
-* 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. 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.
-
-An example of a bug report:
-====
-To: submit@bugs.gnome.org
-From: yourname@your.address.org
-Subject: handlebox test in testgtk is misnamed.
+Release notes for 3.0
+=====================
-Package: gtk+
-Version: @GTK_VERSION@
+* 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:
-When I run gtk/testgtk, the button "handle box"
-is misnamed. There are multiple handle boxes in
-the demo, so it should be "handle boxes", to
-be like "buttons" or "check buttons".

-Patches
-=======
+ Or online at:
-Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on
-ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include
-your name and email address in the README file.
+ http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/3.0/migrating.html
-If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include
-all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
+* 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.
