+	<h3>March 16 2009 - Glade 3.6 released !!</h3>
+	<br></b><b> </b> Get it at <a href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade3/3.6/";>http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade3/3.6/</a><br>
+	<br>Glade has seen a world of improvement since 3.4, if you dont know about it, 
+	  then I should at least skim over the new features and control we offer over your interface.
+	  
+	  <H3>Dual Project Formats</H3>
+	  Now projects can be edited in libglade format and in GtkBuilder
+	  format, offering you a load of new features only available in
+	  GtkBuilder format (also removing access to deprecated widgets).
+	  <br>
+	    Projects can be converted, the operation is undoable, and can
+	    result in data loss when some objects/widgets cant be ported to
+	    the target format (classic libglade format projects can always
+	    be converted to GtkBuilder format).
+
+	    <H3>Target Project Version</H3>
+	    Glade now lets you target your GTK+ version for your project,
+	    giving you visual feedback and warnings about objects, properties
+	    and signals that you may be using that are not available in
+	    the targetted version of GTK+.
+	  <br>
+	    Interestingly Glade 3.6 depends on GTK+ 2.14, but gives you access to GTK+
+	    properties from GTK+ 2.16 even if only running against 2.14.
+
+	  <H3>Access to new objects</H3>
+	  In GtkBuilder format, we have access to a whole new world of objects
+	  we've never seen before in Glade:
+	<ul>
+     <LI> GtkAction: <br>
+	   Represent your UI frontend widget(s) by an Action, actions
+       are a great abstraction for UI components and let you have multiple
+       screen widgets that correspond to a single "action" who all conform
+       to the said actions state.
+
+     <LI> GTK+ MVC Framework:<br>
+       Now we give you access to GtkTreeView, GtkIconView, GtkComboBox (as a view),
+       GtkListStore, GtkTreeStore in Glade.<br>That pretty much says it all, I encourage
+       you all to try it, define columns and data for your treemodel, define columns
+       and renderers for your treeview, in an all in one treeview editor.
+
+     <LI> GtkIconFactory:<br>
+       Add your own stock id definitions using an icon factory, define graphics
+       for different widget sizes and widget states.
+
+     <LI> GtkSizeGroup:<br>
+       Add widgets to logical groups that ensure all members have the same size.
+       </ul>
+       <H3>Sexy New Editors</H3>
+       With a new internal interface, we allow plugins to define editor layouts on a
+       class level basis, now we have customized editors for GtkButton, GtkImage, GtkLabel,
+       GtkEntry and many more (and they all have size to fit word wrapping property description texts in them).
+
+       <H3>The Python Plugin</H3>
+       This is finally worked out into a plugin, its been around for a while now but
+       wasnt publicly/stably released to my knowlage, what it does is allow Glade to
+       introspect and load your python classes properties and signals and add it to
+       the palette automatically (with the use of a one or 2 liner user catalog),
+       documentation coming, or ask Juan Pablo ;-)
+
+       <H3>Some Enhancements</H3>
+	<ul>
+	  <LI> Inspector lets you filter and search the project with an added entry (behaves like DevHelp's search entry but on the project).
+	  <LI> You can edit widgets inline with their editor in a dialog (Edit Separately in context menu), this editor window will stay on the same widget when selection changes).
+	</ul>
