+
+Gtk2Hs is a set of Haskell bindings to many of the libraries included
+in the Gtk+/Gnome platform. Gtk+ is an extensive and mature
+multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.
+
+GUIs written using Gtk2Hs use themes to resemble the native look on
+Windows. Gtk is the toolkit used by Gnome, one of the two major GUI toolkits
+on Linux. On Mac OS programs written using Gtk2Hs are run by Apple's
+X11 server but may also be linked against a native Aqua implementation
+of Gtk.
+
+\Separate
+Gtk2Hs features:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Automatic memory management (unlike some other C/C++ GUI
+libraries, Gtk+ provides proper support for garbage-collected languages)
+\item Unicode support
+\item High quality vector graphics using Cairo
+\item Extensive reference documentation
+\item An implementation of the ``Haskell School of Expression'' graphics
+API
+\item Bindings to many other libraries that build on Gtk: gio, GConf,
+ GtkSourceView 2.0, glade, gstreamer, vte, webkit
+\end{itemize}
+
+\Separate
+
+Since the last release, there have been many bugfixes, and Peter Davies and
+Hamish Mackenzie have begun adding experimental Gtk3 support, enabled by the
+``gtk3'' cabal flag.
