8 *** Changes from gtkmm 2.0/2.2 to gtkmm 2.4:
10 * Useless signals not wrapped.
12 * Use of libsigc++ 2 instead of libsigc++ 1.2. See the glibmm CHANGES for details of the syntax.
14 * It is now easier to see which signal you should handle, because there are less of them.
15 Previously we wrapped key-binding signals, but they were quite useless for gtkmm coders.
17 * Use of Gdk::Device and Gtk::SelectionData instead of C equivalents
