+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 3.7 to 3.9
+======================================
+
+* GtkFileChooser:
+ - Always show fuse-mounted locations in shortcuts
+ - GtkFileChooserButton has received a lot of fixes and tests have
+   been added for many of them
+
+* GtkWindow:
+ - Initial support for client-side decorations has been added. This
+   is going to be used by default under Wayland. To try it with other
+   backends, set the GTK_CSD=1 environment variable.
+ - gtk_window_set_titlebar: A new function that can set a custom,
+   client-side titlebar on toplevel windows.
+
+* Wayland:
+ - Use client-side decorations
+ - Implement maximization
+ - Improve cursor handling
+ - Improve multi-monitor handling
+ - Support most GtkSettings (for now by reading GSettings directly)
+ - Complete the keymap implementation
+ - Add support for custom surfaces
+ - Implement animated cursors
+ - Support the WAYLAND_SOCKET environment variable
+ - Implement frame synchronizatio
+ - Document Wayland-specific APIs
+
+* Broadway:
+ - Improve window size handling
+ - Implement frame synchronization
+ - Add support for password authentication
+
+* New APIs, widgets, feature additions:
+ - GtkHeaderBar is a new widget similar to a GtkBox, with the extra
+   feature that it can center a child (typically a title), independent
+   of the other content.
+ - GtkPlacesSidebar is the sidebar widget in the file chooser, exported
+   as a public widget - it will be shared with nautilus.
+ - GtkStack is an alternative to GtkNotebook for showing one of several
+   child widgets at a time. It supports animated transitions. Tabs are
+   not built into this widgets, but instead provided by the separate
+   GtkStackSwitcher widget.
+ - GtkRevealer is a new new widget that can hide or show its child
+   in an animated fashion.
+ - GtkMenuTracker is a helper object that makes dealing with
+   GMenuModels easier and more efficient.
+ - gtk_grid_remove_row/column: New functions to remove whole rows
+   or columns from a GtkGrid
+ - Support for composite children has been added to GtkWidget. This
+   allows to create complex widgets from GtkBuilder ui files. All
+   complex GTK+ widgets have been converted to use this facility.
+ - Baseline support was added to the GTK+ size allocation machinery.
+   Widgets can now export the baseline of the text they contain,
+   and containers can align their children wrt to their baselines.
+
+
+* Known problems, feature removals, compatibility caveats:
+ - Handling of window size is currently in flux, and there are
+   some known problems with sizes unintentionally changing
+ - Support for the Motif DND protocol has been dropped
+ - Client-side decorations still have some issues when drawing
+   directly on toplevel windows or setting their background
+ - Support for multiple screens per display has been removed. This
+   was only ever supported on X11, and is an exceedingly rare setup
+   nowadays. The display-screen relation is now 1:1, and we will do
+   some more simplification of displaymanager/display/screen/monitor
+   APIs.
+ - gdk_window_get_display has been deprecated
+ - gtk_widget_push_composite_child has been deprecated - this was
+   used for anything
+ - GtkSwitch has been changed to draw focus internally, instead of
+   reserving space outside the switch for it. This may require some
+   application adjustment where margins were tweaked to 'correct'
+   the alignment of switches manually
+
+* Printing:
+ - Avoid blocking when looking for avahi printers
+ - Don't link against avahi-gobject, use D-Bus directly
+
