+Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.24.7 to 2.24.8
+==============================================
+
+* Win32 updates:
+ Major update of the win32 backend, it now works
+ at least as well as the old 2.16.x version that
+ a lot of windows applications was forced to use
+
+ Some particular highlights:
+ - Tablet support (wintab) works
+ - The MS-Windows theme works better, and is enabled
+   by default on Windows
+ - Pointer grabs on button press now works
+ - Initial Window positioning is improved and now
+   works very similarly to the X11 backend
+ - Scrolling a window with another window overlapping it
+   doesn't produce rendering artifacts on XP
+ - Configure event delivery after window move or resize
+   is much more robust, fixing a variety of rendering hangs
+   and misbehaviours
+ - Scrolling with synaptics touchpads work better
+
+* OS X updates:
+ - Add Command-cursor keyboard navigation in text widgets
+ - Fix loss of motion events after using the menu bar
+ - Handle recursive CFRunLoops, fixing e.g. crashes
+   when dropping files from finder
+ - Set proper event->state values in all events
+
+* Ensure that the MOD1 modifier always means ALT, as this
+  assumption is already used in many places in Gtk+
+
+* Search engine backend updated to Tracker 0.12
