+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.3.1:
+
+* GTK+ now uses the Pango library for text manipulation. All
+  strings in GTK+ now are in Unicode, languages written
+  from right-to-left, and complex-text languages are now supported.
+* The gdk-pixbuf library for image loading and manipulation is 
+  has been integrated with GTK+.
+* The GTK+ object system has mostly been moved to GLib, separating
+  it from the GUI code. Many significant enhancements have been
+  made as part of this.
+* A new text widget is now included. This started as a port
+  of the Tk text widget, and includes such features of the Tk
+  text widget as tags, marks, and unicode text support. It
+  has been enhanced to support model-view operation and the
+  full power of Pango.
+* The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
+  windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
+  is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
+  Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
+  and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in 
+  before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
+* 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
+  (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)
+* Many minor bug fixes and enhancements. Incompatible changes
+  are documented in docs/Changes-2.0.txt
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.8:
+
+* GNU Make 3.79 bug workaround
+* FAQ and tutorial updates and improvements
+* Miscellaneous bug fixes: CList, Calendar, rc-files, FontSelection
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.7:
+
+* More header cleanups.
+* Fixed activation bug for insensitive widgets.
+* Locale fixes to RC file parsing code.
+* Miscellaneous bugfixes for Item Factory, CList, CTree, X Selections,
+  HScale, VScale, Pixmap, Viewport, OptionMenu, Entry and Notebook.
+* Upgrade to libtool 1.3.4.
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.6:
+
+* container queue_resize fixes
+* gtk[vh]scale: minor fixups
+* rename idle to idle_id in testgtk to avoid conflicts with 
+  broken libs
+* More consistent naming of gtkrc files
+* Added language support: ro, uk
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.5:
+
+* more GtkCTree and GtkWindow bug fixes.
+* more redraw/resize queue fixes, better expose event
+  discarding code.
+* more miscellaneous bugs fixed
+* new configure.in option --disable-rebuilds to completely disable
+  rebuilds of autogenerated sources.
+* check for 5.002 now, to avoid failing autogeneration build rules due
+  to old perl versions.
+* fonts (and fontsets) are cached now.
+* more autogeneration make rules and dependency fixups, we should be
+  save with autogeneration up to make -j12 now ;)
+* new window position GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS, which will recenter the
+  GtkWindow on every size change.
+* major rework of window manager hints handling code, fixed a bunch of
+  races with the new resizing code.
+* the new wm hints and resizing code is absolutely perfect and bug free now,
+  it only lacks testing ;)
+* fixed up various rc style memory problems.
+* gtk_widget_modify_style() now properly changes the style of realized widgets
+  and references the style passed into it. if people worked around this bug,
+  this will introduce a slight memory leak in their code.
+  The code should typically look like:
+            GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();
+            [...]
+            gtk_widget_modify_style (widget, rc_style);
+            gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);
+* fix problems with positioning menus offscreen.
+* GtkText fixes for some crashes and drawing errors.
+* Better handling for unexpected window destroys in GDK and GTK+.
+  This should make it possible to use a GtkPlug and catch the
+  case where its parent socket is randomly killed.
+* FAQ updates.
+* FileSelection i18n patches, RadioButton fixups.
+* many translation improvements.
+* miscellaneous other bugs fixed.
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.4:
+
+* DnD improvements (drags can be canceled with Esc now).
+* suppressed configure event reordering in Gdk.
+* rewrite of Gtk's configure event handling.
+* major improvements for the object argument system (Elena Devdariani).
+* major bugfixes for threading, GtkNotebook, GtkItemFactory, GtkCList and
+  GtkCTree.
+* tutorial/FAQ updates, new file generation.txt on autogenerated sources.
+* configure's --with-glib= is "officially" unsupported.
+* upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.
+* various buglets fixed.
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.3:
+
+* Upgrade to libtool 1.3
+* Check for dgettext (for systems with old versions of GNU Gettext)
+* Many bug fixes (see ChangeLog for details)
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.2.2:
+
+* Improved Dnd behaviour with Motif applications.
+* Bug fixes for the Gtk selection code.
+* Minor bug fixes to the Gdk Atom cache and Dnd code (with --display option).
+* Bug fixes and leak plugs for the Gdk IM code.
+* Added gtk_object_get() facility to retrieve object arguments easily.
+  The var args list expects ("arg-name", &value) pairs.
+* Fixed mapping for GdkInputCondition<->GIOCondition, this should fix
+  problems where closed pipes were no longer signaling GDK_INPUT_READ on
+  systems with a native poll().
+* Some cleanups to GtkLabel's memory allocation code (shouldn't leak memory
+  anymore).
+* We don't attempt to lookup xpm color "None" anymore, this should prevent
+  eXodus (commercial X windows server) from popping up a color dialog every
+  time a transparent pixmap is created.
+* Fixed bug where Gtk timeout/idle handlers would execute without the global
+  Gdk lock being held.
+* Other minor bug fixes.

+* Many Bug fixes have been applied to the menu and accelerator code.
+* GtkItemFactory can "adopt" foreign menu items now and manage their
+  accelerator installation. This is often required to get GtkItemFactory
+  like accelerator propagation between different windows with the same
+  menu hierarchy and for centralized parsing and saving of accelerators.
+* GtkCList/GtkCTree buttons should always display correctly now.
+* Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
+
+What's New in GTK+ 1.2.0 (since 1.0.x):
+
+* New widgets: GtkFontSelector, GtkPacker, GtkItemFactory, GtkCTree,
+  GtkInvisible, GtkCalendar, GtkLayout, GtkPlug, GtkSocket
+* Many new features and robustness for existing widgets
+* Theme support
+* New DND implementation
+* Internationalization of standard dialogs
+* New key binding system
+* Tearoff menus and menu accelerators
+* Wide character support for entry and text
+* Resizing code has been overhauled
+* Queued redraws of partial areas
+* Far better support for object arguments
+* Speed optimizations
+* Runtime loading of dynamic modules
+* Support for GLib log domains
+* Tutorial improvements
+* A bug fix or two
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.16:
+
+* Major fixes and improvements for handlebox
+* A change to the way widget->requisition works. Now,
+  widget->requisition is always what the widget requested,
+  unmodified by the usize. See Changes-1.2.txt for details.
+  This correct various bugs with gtk_widget_set_usize().
+* Fixes for XIM on X11R5 systems
+* Don't allow cut-and-paste of text in password-style entries
+* --enable-debug is now on by default for the development release.
+  (When compiling for "production", use --enable-debug=minimum)
+* Handle systems where Helvetica is not present more gracefully
+* Fixes for memory leaks
+* CList and CTree fixes
+* Bug fixes for drawing problems. 
+* Miscellaneous bug fixes to GtkLabel, GtkCList, GtkCTree,
+  GtkColorsel, Focusing, DND
+* Tutorial improvements
+
+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.1.15:
+
+* Tutorial Updates
+* Added --libs gthread to gtk-config 
+* Bug fixes
+
+What is new in GTK+ 1.1.14:
+
+* Additions to docs/Changes-1.2.txt
+* Just warn when loading theme engine fails
+* CLAMP GtkScale digits to a meaningful range
+* GTK_LOCALDIR is now defined in a better fashion
+* New functions (feature freeze, we know...):
+    gtk_menu_set_title()
+    gtk_toggle_button_get_active()
+* Some locale fixups in gtkrc code
+* Fixes to make gtk_radio_button_set_group() keep only
+  one radio button in the group active
+* Foreign windows are now always treated as viewable; this fixes
+  a problem where updating didn't occur properly in GtkPlug
+* DND fixes for 64 bit architectures, and for specifying operations 
+  with modifier keys.
+* Major revisions to GtkLayout: avoid having to create window
+  for NO_WINDOW children, adjust allocations of children as 
+  scrolled so queued draws work, and a resize is queued instead
+  of allocating directly in a put() or move()
+
+What is new in GTK+ 1.1.13:
+
+* Dnd and selection bug fixes and memory purification.
+* Widget sensitivity fixups.
+* Tooltips windows are now named "gtk-tooltips" so rc file rules
+  can match tooltips windows. Fixed interaction of tooltips and NO_WINDOW
+  widgets.
+* Spin buttons now update their values upon value retrieval.
+* Overhaul of the resizing vs. redrawing logic to reduce redrawing needs
+  a lot. Gtk makes full use of the draw_area coalescing code now, which
+  got minorly improved as well.
+* Containers map their Gdk windows after their children now to reduce
+  expose event generation.
+* Gdk event queue fixups, this solves the double-click problems people were
+  recently having.
+* Account for the fact that GSource's are only properly reentrant from
+  within dispatch(), thus we don't do Gdk event processing from within
+  check() or prepare() anymore.
+* Rc files feature a bg_pixmap value of "<none>" now.
+* Improved session management support in Gdk.  
+* Automatic disabling of NLS if no gettext is found should work now.
+* Removed deprecated functions, docs/Changes-1.2.txt gives an overview.

+* Deprecated functions will now issue a message, informing the programmer about
+  the use of this function. These functions will get removed in future versions
+* Non-functional functions got removed entirely
+* gtk_widget_new() and gtk_object_new() will now auto-construct new objects.
+  A new function gtk_object_default_construct() is provided now which should

+
+What is new in GTK+ 1.1.2:
+
+* Gtk+ is now featuring runtime loading of dynamic modules via the
+  --gtk-modules= command line switch. such modules have to export a
+  G_MODULE_EXPORT void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv);
+  function which will be invoked to initialize the module. since such
+  modules may create new widget types, they are always resident.
+* The tutorial has been updated again.

+* Better support for modal dialogs.
+* Removed CAN_FOCUS by default from scrollbars and button children of toolbar.
+* More improvements and fixes for GtkCList and GtkCTree (i.e. row sorting).

+* A GtkCtree now operates on GtkCTreeNode* structures rather than GList*.
+* GtkCTreeNodes can now be created from GNode trees.
+* Bug fixes for GtkNotebook, GtkCList, GtkCombo and GdkWindow reparentation.
+
+
+What is new in GTK+ 1.1.0:
+
+* New widget GtkFontSelector.
+* New featureful progress bar.
+* New container widget GtkPacker.
+* New object GtkItemFactory, GtkMenuFactory is deprecated.
+* New key binding system, configurable via rcfiles, similar to styles.

+  colormap and visual queries to the XServer.
+* Speedups for type creation and especially gtk_type_is_a() checks.
+* Speedups in signal lookup, creation and emissions and connection handling.
+* Minor speedups with object data allocation and destruction.
+* Additions to the signal handling API (e.g. *_emitv).
+* Support for rc-file reparsing.
+* Resizing logic is now implemented on container widget basis, rather than
+  for toplevel GtkWindows only.
+* Buttons support relief styles now.
+* Some widgets are now allocated through memchunks to behave more memory wise.
+* Newly included file gtkfeatures.h which defines compatibility macros to
+  test for certain API features upon program compilation.
+* Child arguments support for container widgets.
+* Far better support for object arguments, revamp of the underlying
+  mechanism for speed and reusability. Child/object arguments don't
+  need to be preceded by the "GtkType::" portion anymore.
+* Removed GtkAcceleratorTable in favour of GtkAccelGroup, accelerator display
+  is now performed by a new widget GtkAccelLabel.
+* Overhaul of the resizing code. Resizing behaviour can now be specified
+  on GtkContainer basis, so the underlying algorithm isn't only available
+  for GtkWindows.
+* GtkTables are now fully resizable.
+* The GtkType system now supports an additional base class initialization
+  function.
+* GtkStyles and key bindings can now be looked up depending on the base
+  types of a widget, through a new keyword `class' in rc files.
