That's because they will be new for GTK+-2.0; the very first feature
added to the 1.3 branch, in fact.

	* gtk/gtkspinbutton.[c,h] gtk/testgtk.c: Added two new signals to 
	GtkSpinButton, "input" and "output", to make the output more flexible.
 	The user has to provide a mapping between adjustment->value and the
 	output string (and vice versa, if the spin button is editable). 
	See testgtk for examples.

	* ChangeLog: moved old ChangeLog to ChangeLog.pre-1-2, and started
	new one.
	
	* configure.in: set gtk+ version to 1.3.0.
