to just the insensitive and backdrop states. This mostly affects
theming.
+* The way widget drawing happens has changed. Earlier versions handled
+ one expose event per GdkWindow, each with a separate cairo_t. Now we
+ only handle the expose event on the toplevel and reuse the same
+ cairo_t (with the right translation and clipping) for the entire
+ widget hierarchy, recursing down via the GtkWidget::draw signal.
+ Having all rendering in the same call tree allows effects like
+ opacity and offscreen rendering of entire widget sub-hierarchies.
+ Generally this should not require any changes in widgets, but
+ code looking at e.g. the current expose event may see different
+ behavior than before.
+
+* The Gtk+ scrolling implementation has changed. gdk_window_scroll()
+ and gdk_window_move_region() no longer copy the region on the
+ window, but rather invalidate the entire scrolled region. This is
+ slightly slower, but allowed us to implement a offscreen surface
+ scrolling method which better fits modern hardware. Most scrolling
+ widgets in Gtk+ have been converted to use this model for scrolling,
+ but external widgets implementing scrolling using GdkWindow may see
+ some slowdown.
