+Release notes for 3.8
+=====================
+
+* GtkIconInfo has changed from being a boxed type to a GObject. This
+  is technically an ABI change, but basically all existing code
+  will keep working if its used as a boxed type, and its not
+  possible to instantiate GtkIconInfos outside Gtk, so this is not
+  expected to be a big problem.
+
+Release notes for 3.6
+=====================
+
+* The accessibility bridge code that exports accessible objects
+  on the bus is now used by default; atk-bridge has been converted
+  into a library that GTK+ links against. To void the linking,
+  pass --without-atk-bridge when configuring GTK+.
+
+* GDK threading support has been deprecated. It is recommended to
+  use g_idle_add(), g_main_context_invoke() and similar funtions
+  to make all GTK+ calls from the main thread.
+
+* GTK+ 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.

+
+* GTK+ now uses <Primary> instead of <Control> in keyboard accelerators,
+  for improved cross-platform handling. This should not affect

+
+* The tacit assumption that the Alt key corresponds to the MOD1

+
+* 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

+
+* 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.
