-			In order to begin preparing developers for GLib and GTK+ 3.0, upcoming
-			releases of both libraries will include flags to enforce stricter
-			compatibility.
-		</para>
-
-		<para>
-			GLib, GTK+ and ATK 3.0 will
-			require that only top-level headers (e.g. <filename>glib.h</filename>,
-			<filename>gobject.h</filename>, <filename>gio.h</filename>) are included
-			in applications. This change is important to allow individual headers
-			to be removed, renamed and rearranged without affecting source code
-			compatibility for applications.
-		</para>
-		<para>
-			To allow developers to test their applications for compatibility now,
-			new compile-time options have been provided:
-			G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES for GLib,
-			GTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES for GTK+ and
-			ATK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES for ATK.
-		</para>
-		<para>
-			Simply pass these as compile-time flags when building your application
-			(e.g. <command>-DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES</command>) to ensure that
-			your application is correct.

-			For many people in business, it is crucial that they track how much time
-			they assign to each project and client. Everybody has their own system
-			for this, from keeping a diary to making a guess. It's incredibly tedious.
-			In today's world almost

-			Activities can be categorized by any grouping you choose, be it the

-			weekly and monthly graphs to see where you're spending most of your time.

-			Today's modern filesystems are able to handle almost any desired character
-			as part of the filename. Unfortunately this is not the case for the FAT
-			filesystem that is commonly used on many USB thumb drives and portable
-			music players, which is unable to use many common punctuation marks as
-			part of the filename. GNOME &gnomeversion; detects when you
-			are copying files with names that contains characters that cannot be used
-			and automatically converts these characters to a "_" without you having
-			to rename the file yourself.
-		</para>
-
-		<para>
-			Automatic filename completion ("tab" completion) has also been improved
-			in GNOME &gnomeversion;. Completion of filenames in the location bar
-			using the <keycap>Tab</keycap> key is now faster and more predictable.
-			It is also possible to complete any fragment of the path and the
-			interface provides more feedback for when there are no other possible
-			matches available.

-		<title>New Screen Resolution Controls</title>

-		<para>
-			More and more computers (especially laptops) are gaining support for

-			to be able to connect a second monitor, either as a clone
-			(e.g. a projector for giving presentations) or as an extension of their

-		<para>
-			GNOME &gnomeversion; has upgraded its screen resolution controls to make

-			specification from X.Org, this dialog enables users to easily set up
-			individual monitors in a number of configurations. Monitors are named
-			and the names appear in the top left corner of the screen for easy

-			<para>
-				Some X.Org video drivers do not currently support XRandR 1.2 and so

-			which implements the Freedesktop.org <ulink

-			Theme and Naming Specification</ulink>.
-			Sound themes can now be installed like icon themes. Using libcanberra also
-			means that an application's alert sounds are less likely to interfere with
-			your music player or movie player, so you can leave those important alert
-			sounds switched on while watching a fullscreen movie.

-			They have also worked to improve out-of-the-box (zero configuration)
-			support for the majority of infrared remote controls
