GtkInfoBar 
 
 - A new widget to show a transient 'message area' inside a content 
   pane. The API is similar to GtkDialog and supports theming for 
   different message types (warnings, errors, etc) 
 
Changes in GtkBuilder 
 
 - Scale marks can be specified in builder markup 
 
 - GtkAssistant action widgets can be added in builder markup 
 
Changes in GtkLabel 
 
 - GtkLabel can show embedded URLs, much like SexyUrlLabel 
 
Changes in GtkEntry 
 
 - GtkEntry has been refactored to follow the model-view pattern, 
   with GtkEntryBuffer as model. One intended use case for this is 
   to support 'secure memory' for password entries 
 
Changes in the file chooser 
 
 - Backup files are hidden by default 
 
 - GTK+ remembers the sorting state of the file list 
 
 - File sizes are shown by default 
 
 - The 'Create Folder' button can be disabled with the the 
   ::create-folders property 
 
Changes in printing support 
 
 - GTK+ supports authentication against CUPS servers 
 
 - A backend for the PAPI printing system has been added 
 
 - The file and lpr backends can print multiple pages per sheet 
 
 - The file backend can produce svg files 
 
 - GTK+ supports printing an application-defined 'selection' in 
   addition to the usual page ranges 
 
 - The print dialog can optinally include the page setup controls, 
   avoiding the need for a separate page setup dialog in many 
   situations 
 
Changes in theming support 
 
 - The bullet character used in invisible entries can 
   be set by themes with the ::invisible-char style property 
 
 - The file chooser can show different icons for xdg user dirs. 
   The icon names are folder-documents, folder-download, folder-music, 
   folder-pictures, folder-publicshare, folder-templates and 
   folder-video 
 
 - The GtkInfoBar uses symbolic colors for theming its background color 
   depending on the message type. The color names are info_fg_color, 
   info_bg_color, warning_fg_color", warning_bg_color, etc. 
 
GDK changes 
 
 - GDK has been rewritten to use 'client-side windows'. This means 
   that GDK maintains its own window hierarchy and only uses X windows 
   where it is necessary or explicitly requested. Some of the benefits 
   of this change are 
   * Reduced flicker 
   * The ability to do transformed and animated rendering of widgets 
   * Easier embedding of GTK+ widgets, e.g. into Clutter scene graphs 
   See gdk-demo for some simple examples of client-side windows in 
   action. See 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2...deWindows.html 
   for information about possible problems when moving to 
   client-side windows.

  socket API and high-level API for network connections and services. 
 
* GIOStream and its subclasses have gained support for read-write 
access.
