+Release notes for 2.20
+======================
+
+* GtkStatusbar now has a message area (see gtk_status_bar_get_message_area)
+ which makes it easy to place additional widgets inside the statusbar
+ frame or to replace the label widgets. Previously, this was only possible
+ by accessing the innards of the statusbar widget directly. Applications
+ which are doing so may need some adjustments, since the addition of the
+ message area changed the internal widget hierarchy.
+
+* GtkBuilder no longer sets the "name" property of widgets to the ID
+ attribute of the <object>. Use gtk_buildable_get_name() instead of
+ gtk_widget_get_name() to obtain the ID.
+
+* GTK+ now includes introspection data, as a consequence, it gained a
+ dependency on gobject-introspection. It is possible to build without
+ introspection by passing --disable-introspection to configure.
+
+
+Release notes for 2.18
+======================
+
+* gtk_tooltip_set_custom now accept a NULL custom_widget to unset the
+ old custom_widget. Custom_widget does not get destroyed when the
+ tooltip goes away.
+
+* JPEG2000 support is no longer enabled by default. It must be
+ explicitly turned on, by passing --with-libjasper to configure.
+
+* GDK has been reworked to implement 'client-side windows'. This offers
+ exciting new possibilities, such as transformed, offscreen rendering,
+ but it breaks some long-standing assumptions that applications may
+ have about GDK windows. Setting the environment variable
+ GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS makes GDK create a native X11 window for each
+ GDK window, which might make problematic applications work better.
+
+* GTK+ calls signal (SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) during initialization, to ignore
+ SIGPIPE signals, since these are almost never wanted in graphical
+ applications. If you do need to handle SIGPIPE for some reason, reset
+ the handler after gtk_init(), but notice that other libraries (e.g.
+ libdbus or gvfs) might do similar things.
+
+Release notes for 2.16
+======================
+
+* Password entries now display a caps-lock warning. This can be turned off
+ with the caps-lock-warning property.
+
+* Various orientation-related functions have been deprecated in favour
+ of the new GtkOrientable interface: gtk_scale_button_get_orientation,
+ gtk_scale_button_set_orientation, gtk_toolbar_set_orientation.
+
+* The action-proxy interaction has been changed. Widgets that operate as
+ proxies have to implement the GtkActivatable interface now. GtkActivatable
+ implementation are responsible for syncing their appearance with the
+ action and for activating the action. All GTK+ widgets that are commonly
+ used as proxies implement the GtkActivatable interface.
+
+* The handling of keyboard shortcuts has been changed, to help with a
+ longstanding complaint about the way GTK+ handles multiple layouts. GTK+
+ now only uses keys from groups other than the current group if they are
+ not present in the current group.
+
Release notes for 2.14
======================
* gtkitemfactory.h is now completely deprecated.
- gtkactiongroup.h and gtkstock.h is no longer included it's header,
- this might break application using gtk_item_factory_* symbols without
- including gtkitemfactory.h which has never been supported.
+ 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.
Release notes for 2.12
======================
GTK_OBJECT_IS_FLOATING() will still work, but direct checking
of the GTK_FLOATING flag will no longer detect the floating
reference. Details about floating references can be found in the docs:
- http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#floating-ref
+ http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#floating-ref
* Accelerators like (_F) are now stripped from labels when they are
displayed in toolbars. If this is not wanted, the feature can be

the patch to that bug report.
-Bug reports containing patches should include the PATCH keyword in their
