+Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.91.7 to 2.99.0
+==============================================
+
+* Deprecations and removals:
+ - Long-obsolete linuxfb-related GtkWindow APIs have been dropped
+ - G_SEALed struct members have been removed from GtkMenu,
+   GtkMenuShell, GtkMenuItem, GtkSettings
+ - GtkThemeEngine has been removed
+ - gdk_display_get_window_at_device_position() has been renamed to
+   gdk_device_get_window_at_position()
+ - gdk_display_get_device_state() has been renamed to
+   gdk_device_get_position()
+ - gdk_device_set_source() has been dropped
+ - gdk_set_pointer_hooks(), gdk_display_set_pointer_hooks() and
+   gdk_display_set_device_hooks() have been removed
+ - The deprecated GtkNotebook:tab-pack child property has been removed
+ - The deprecated gtk_quit_add() functions have been removed
+
+* The gtk-update-icon-cache and gtk-builder-convert utilities have
+  been renamed back to their un-suffixed names. Distributions will
+  have to resolve the conflict between GTK+ 2.x and 3.0 packages
+  by dropping one set of the utilities and adding a dependency.
+
+* It is now possible to include multiple GDK backends in a single
+  library. The --with-gdk-backend option has been split into separate
+  --enable-{x11,win32,quartz}-backend options.
+
+* The GDK Quartz backend has been ported to the new GDK backend API
+
+* A number of widgets have been ported to use GtkStyleContext directly:
+  GtkAccelLabel, GtkArrow, GtkSeparator, GtkSpinButton, GtkMessageDialog,
+  GtkFrame, GtkEventBox, GtkScrolledWindow, GtkProgressBar, GtkEntry,
+  GtkFileChooserEntry, GtkSwitch, GtkHandleBox, GtkToolbar, GtkFixed,
+  GtkToolPalette, GtkAboutDialog, GtkAssistant, GtkTrayIcon, GtkPaned,
+  GtkToolButton, GtkSocket, GtkRecentChooser, GtkTooltip, GtkPathBar,
+  GtkWin32EmbedWidget, GtkCellView, GtkDialog, GtkDrawingArea, GtkPlug,
+  GtkEntryCompletion, GtkFileChooserButton, GtkFileChooser, GtkHandleBox,
+  GtkLinkButton, GtkOffscreenWindow
+
+* Various problems with width-for-height geometry management have been
+  fixed in GtkAlignment, GtkCheckButton, GtkBin
+
+* The GtkCellView and GtkComboBox widgets have been ported to use
+  GtkCellArea for their cell layouts.
+
+* The cups print backend can now send print jobs directly in PDF if
+  cups supports it
