        * NEWS: Fix version numbers. (Johan Dahlin.)

        * INSTALL.in: Update, just refer to gtk-building.html
        rather than duplicating information.

        * README.in: Add release specific notes.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove TODO and TODO.xml
        from the distribution.

+GTK+-2.0.0 Specific Notes
+=========================
+
+* The default configuration of GTK+ has been stream-lined to reduce
+  confusion on the part of new users or users coming from other
+  environments.  Users used to older versions of GTK+ may want to make
+  some adjustments to the default configuration.
+
+   - Emacs keybindings such as Control-A and Control-E to move to the
+     ends of lines are not enabled by default in the editing widgets. To
+     turn on Emacs keybindings, add the line:
+
+      gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
+   
+     To your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
+
+   - Editing of menu accelerators by pressing an accelerator over the
+     menu item is disabled by default. To enable, it, add:
+
+      gtk-can-change-accels = 1
+
+     to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
+
+   - To improve useability for keyboard operation, GTK+ now selects the
+     contents of an entry when tabbing into it or when it is focused on
+     initial window map. To disable this behavior, add:
+
+      gtk-entry-select-on-focus = 0
+ 
+     to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
+
+* The GTK+ libraries use an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
+  must not be used by applications. The intention was not to export
+  symbols beginning with prefixes such as _gtk, _gdk, and _pango from
+  the libraries at all, but due to a bug in libtool, they are actually
+  exported at the moment on some platforms (including Linux). 
+  Applications that use these private symbols _will_ break when
+  this bug is fixed.
+
+* The Xft library that GTK+ uses to display anti-aliased fonts will
+  undergo a major version revision in the next few months. To deal with
+  this, by default, GTK+ and Pango are built so that applications will
+  not have explicit dependencies on version 1 on Xft. To make sure that
+  your application will be binary compatible with future versions of
+  GTK+:
+
+    - Do not configure Pango or GTK+ with the --enable-static or
+      --enable-explicit otions, since they will cause dependencies on
+      Xft version 1.
+
+    - Do not use Xft directly in your applicatons.
+
+* There is a bug in the Xft library in XFree86-4.1 and possibly previous
+  versions that causes random crashes when using the Pango Xft
+  backend. If you want to use Xft fonts, you should upgrade to
+  XFree86-4.2.
+
+* Xft support is not on by default. To turn it on set the environment
+  variable GDK_USE_XFT to '1'
+
+   GDK_USE_XFT=1
+   export GDK_USE_XFT
+
+* The gdk_pixbuf_xlib library included in the contrib/ directory of GTK+
+  is provided on a as-is basis and has not been tested at all. No
+  guarantees about the degree of workingness or about future
+  compatibility are provided.
+
+* There are known problems with some of the image loaders in the
+  gdk-pixbuf library included in GTK+ where corrupted images can cause
+  crashes and conceivably worse problems. Until these problems are fixed
+  (we hope to have this done for 2.0.1), gdk-pixbuf should not be used
+  to load untrusted data.
+
+* The assumption of GLib and GTK+ by default is that filenames on the
+  filesystem are encoded in UTF-8 rather than the encoding of the locale;
+  The GTK+ developers consider that having filenames whose interpretation
+  depends on the current locale is fundamentally a bad idea.
+
+  If you have filenames encoded in the encoding of your locale, then
+  you may want to set the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES environment variable:
+  
+   G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1
+   export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES
+
+  Best integration of GTK+-2.0 with the environment is achieved by 
+  using a UTF-8 locale.
