About Glade-3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-This version of Glade (Glade-3) is a complete rewrite of the original
-Glade codebase.
-It has useful new features (Undo/Redo, MultiProject support) and has a
-cleaner architecture, note however that it is not ready yet for everyday
-use and lacks support for additional widgets, as Gnome and Gnome-db widgets.
-One of the main differnces from glade-2 is that C code generation has been
-removed from glade-3: this has been done on purpose, since using generated
-code is deprecated; the preferred way to use glade files is with libglade.
-Another important thing to note is that the XML format has _not_ changed,
-so you can work on the same project both with glade-3 and with glade-2.
+This version of Glade (Glade-3) is a complete rewrite of the original Glade codebase.

+ One of the main differnces from glade-2 is that C code generation has been removed from
+glade-3: this has been done on purpose, since using generated code is deprecated; the preferred
+way to use glade files is with libglade (if code generation is needed, this can be provided
+as another tool or plugin, code generation is simply not a part of the glade-3 project).
+Another main difference is that glade-3 was designed to make maximal use of GObject
+introspection, thus easing the integration of external toolkits and handling widgets,
+signals and properties genericly; thus making it easier to write fancy features in the
+future (toolkits such as gtk+ itself, gnome, gnome-db and any others are implemented
+externaly as widget catalogs with optional support libraries, thus catalogs may be
+distributed seperatly; possibly along with their libglade support modules).
+
+It has a few useful new features such as stacked Undo/Redo and Multiple Project support
+and respects the same XML format as glade-2.

Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- o GTK+ 2.0.0 or above - http://www.gtk.org
+ o GTK+ 2.6.0 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.
