This is the second development release leading toward 3.0.

Notes:

 * GTK+ 3 will be parallel installable with GTK+ 2.x, and this release
   has been prepared to test this by renaming all .pc files, libraries,
   include paths, and so forth, to include a '3.0' component.

 * GTK+ 3 will remove deprecated API from the GTK+ 2.x series and make
   struct members unavailable that have been GSEALed in 2.x. Therefore,
   applications can be prepared for porting to GTK+ 3 by making sure
   that they build with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and -DGSEAL_ENABLE.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.


What is GTK+
============

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 from GTK+ 2.90.0 to 2.90.1
==============================================

* Printing: The list of locales using US Letter papersize has
  been updated to match the CLDR 1.8.1

* The default location for the 'module cache' files (ie the files
  produced by gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders and gtk-query-immodules) has
  been changed to $libdir/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/{loaders,immodules}.cache.
  This should avoid multilib problems with the previous location.

  Additionally, the query utilities accept an --update-cache argument
  to update the cache file directly, instead of writing to stdout

* gtk_radio_action_join_group: A binding-friendly way to manage
  radio actions.

* GtkAdjustment enforces values to the range [lower, upper - page_size]

* GDK has been GSEALed, with the addition of suitable accessors

* The XI2 branch with better support for multiple input devices has
  been merged, together with backends for XInput, XInput2, win32 and
  Quartz, and corresponding updates to input-device handling code
  in GTK.

* A number of orientable widgets are no longer abstract: GtkBox,
  GtkButtonBox, GtkPaned, GtkRuler, GtkScale, GtkScrollbar,
  GtkSeparator. All of these can now be instantiated and flipped between
  horizontal and vertical orientation at runtime. Their H/V subclasses
  are still available, as convenience API.

* More deprecated API has been removed
