+
+## General Information
+
+Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick and easy development of user interfaces
+for the GTK+ 3 toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
+
+The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML and these can be loaded
+by applications dynamically as needed by using GtkBuilder or used directly to
+define a new GtkWidget derived object class using Gtk+ new template feature.
+
+By using GtkBuilder, Glade XML files can be used in numerous programming
+languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl, Python, and others.
+
+## About Glade
+
+This version of Glade (Glade >= 3.10) targets GTK+ >= 3.0 and is parallel
+installable with Glade 3.8.
+
+If you need to work with Glade projects that target GTK+2, you need an
+installation of Glade 3.8 (more information on http://blogs.gnome.org/tvb/2011/01/15/the-glade-dl/)
+
+## License
+
+Glade is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), as described
+in the COPYING file.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* GTK+ 3.10.0 or above - <http://www.gtk.org>
+ You also need the glib, pango and atk libraries.
+ Make sure you have the devel packages as well, as these will contain the
+ header files which you will need to compile C applications.
+
+* libxml 2.4.1 - used to parse the XML files. If you have GNOME 2 you
+ should already have this.
+
+## Installation
+
+See the file '[INSTALL](INSTALL)'
