+Overview of Changes in GTK+ 3.7.4
+=================================
+
+* GtkBuilder now lets you refer to external objects from a ui
+  file if the objects have been exported with the new function
+  gtk_builder_expose_object()
+
+* Font handling has been improved:
+ - The default font is no longer handled like a custom style sheet
+   that overrides everything, but as the initial value. This is the
+   same behavior as in web browsers.
+ - It is now possible to set font-family and font-size like other
+   CSS properties, and relative font sizes are supported. Font
+   sizes in CSS can be specified as numbers or with keywords
+   like xx-small, medium, smaller, larger,...
+
+* GTK+ now uses proper Unicode ellipses in strings.
+
+* The releases includes several noticable performance improvements:
+ - Size allocation has been optimized, by avoiding excessive
+   resizing in various situations.
+ - The performance of size groups has been improved.
+ - Text rendering in GtkLabel and other widgets has been optimized
+   to avoid excessive recreation of Pango layouts.
+ - Icon loading overhead was reduced by caching of GtkIconInfo.
+ - The CSS is now keeping a tree of selectors to speed up matchinh.
+
+* Deprecations and removals:
+ - Custom CSS properties have been deprecated
+ - Support for color schemes has been removed
+ - gtk_style_provider_get_style, gtk_style_provider_get_icon_factory
+ - GtkGradient and GtkSymbolicColor
+ - All the padding style properties in menus
