This is a development release leading toward 3.0.

Notes:

 * GTK+ 3 will be parallel installable with GTK+ 2.x, and this release
   has been prepared to test this by renaming all .pc files, libraries,
   include paths, and so forth, to include a '3.0' component.

 * GTK+ 3 will remove deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series and make
   struct members unavailable that have been GSEALed in 2.x. Therefore,
   applications can be prepared for porting to GTK+ 3 by making sure
   that they build with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and -DGSEAL_ENABLE.
   For more information about porting concerns, see the porting guide
   that is included in the API docs.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.


What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.

Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.91.1 to 2.91.2
==============================================

* GtkApplication has been rewritten. It mostly relies on GApplication
  API now. Remaining functions include gtk_application_new() and
  gtk_window_set_application()

* A GtkScrollable interface has been added and implemented by all
  scrollable widgets. GtkScrolledWindow has ::min-display-width/height
  properties to control the minimal size of the content area.

* GtkComboBox changes:
 - Popups can be wider than the combo box itself
 - The deprecated GtkComboBoxEntry subclass has been removed
 - The deprecated combo box text convenience API has been removed

* GtkRecentManager changes:
 - Store xbel file in XDG_USER_DATA
 - Add gtk_recent_info_create_app_info()
 - Add gtk_recent_info_get_gicon()
 - Coalesce multiple changes

* GtkIconView allows tree models (ignoring anything below the root
level)

* GtkProgressBar, GtkSpinButton, GtkEntry and GtkCalendar no longer have
  their own input-output window

* gtk_widget_hide_all() has been removed

* GtkGrid: A legacy-free, height-for-width grid container

* GDK gained a GdkRGBA color struct containing 4 doubles, and various
  GdkColor APIs have GdkRGBA counterparts now.

* Bugs fixed:
 324899 GtkComboBoxText needs API to remove all items
 438318 Deprecate and remove hide_all()
 524304 Use XDG_USER_DATA to store the recent files
 617174 gtkrecentinfo & GIcon
 632381 gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry() adds two text cell renderers
 632538 Move setting property registration in gtksettings.c
