Overview of Changes in GTK+ 1.3.1:

       * GTK+ now uses the Pango library for text manipulation. All strings
         in GTK+ now are in UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Languages written from
         right-to-left, and complex-text languages are now supported.
       * The GDK library has been extensively revised to support multiple
         windowing systems. The only fully functional backend in 1.3.1
         is the X11 backend, however, ports to Win32, Linux-framebuffer,
         Nano-X, BeOS, and MacOS exist in various states of completion,
         and at least some of these will be finished and integrated in
         before the final GTK+-2.0 release.
       * 32-bit coordinates are now supported throughout GDK and GTK+
         (they are emulated where not supported by the windowing system.)

 More too, but that's sorta interesting...
