[Avi Romanoff <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dunno if you guys are subscribed to the gnome announce/gtk-devel mailing
lists, but I thought this release seemed relevant.

That is, the TreeView refactor (read: speed) has landed in trunk, wayland
support, and some interesting GApplication and theming changes.

+-3.3.6.tar.xz

Another 3.3 development snapshot.

============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
developers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.


Overview of Changes in GTK+ 3.3.6
=================================

* GtkApplication has grown support for exporting application
 menus and menubars on the bus, as a GMenuModel. The
 new GtkApplicationWindow toplevel automatically
 displays these menu models when needed. These APIs
 are still EXPERIMENTAL and are likely to change
 before 3.4.

* GtkSpinButtons have received a long-overdue face-lift
 to make them easier to use with both mouse and touch.

* GtkScale has gained a has-origin property to request
 filled-in drawing of the trough.

* GtkWindow can now request that the window manager hide
 the titlebar when the window is maximized.

* The GtkTreeView accessibility support and the core
 treeview code have been extensively refactored;
 performance should be much improved. But watch out
 for regressions.

* The GtkFileChooser entry completion code has been
 extensively refactored; it now uses GtkEntryCompletion

* Excessive dependencies have been culled from Requires:
 lines in pc files. Dependent modules may have to declare
 dependencies that they were getting 'for free' in the past.

* Theming improvements:
 - The background-clip and background-origin CSS properties
  have been implemented

* Win32 improvements:
 - Theming of column headers, radio buttons and menuitems,
  notebook tabs, etc has been fixed
 - Menus, tooltips, and other popups show above the task bar

* Wayland:
 - The Wayland backend has been updated to the current Wayland API
