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+ 2.91.0 to 2.91.1
==============================================

* GTK+ can now add a resize grip to any window. The resize
  grip functionality in GtkStatusbar has been removed.

* A very old bug in the handling of geometry widgets has
  been fixed, and a way to set geometry in terms of the
  geometry widget has been added: gtk_window_resize_to_geometry()

* The GtkFileChooser now uses GSettings to store its settings
  instead of the keyfile ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini

* GtkWrapBox has been dropped from GTK+ again. The widget
  will be available in libegg until clear use cases have
  been established.

* GtkWidget now has horizontal and vertical expand flags, in
  the form of ::hexpand and ::vexpand properties. These flags
  are intended to obsolete most custom container-specific
  expand child properties, over time.
  Expandability is inherited up the widget hierarchy.

* GtkComboBoxEntry has been deprecated in favor of a
  ::has-entry property on GtkComboBox.

* The GtkComboBox text convenience API (gtk_combo_box_new_text(), etc)
  has been deprecated in favor of a new GtkComboBoxText class.

* GtkLinkButton has gained a ::activate-link signal that
  can be used to suppress the default behavior.

* The very outdated tutorial has been dropped from the GTK+
distribution,
  and a new 'Getting started' section has been added to the API
  documentation that will accumulate tutorial material over time.
