Overview of Changes in 4.17.4, 01-02-2025
=========================================

This release introduces a new backend, which allows running
GTK applications on Android phones. It is still considered
experimental. Feedback and improvements are welcome!

We have a ci job that produces signed apks for gtk4-demo,
to make it easy to try this out.

* GtkFileChooser:
 - Stop replacing : (colon) with U+2236 (ratio)

 - Avoid out-of-bounds values in some cases

* GtkWindow:
 - Send expected a11y events when a window is closed
 - Change accessible role back to GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_WINDOW

* GtkLabel:
 - Make context menus keyboard-navigatable

* GtkVideo:
 - Support rotated videos

* GDK:
 - Add a way to retrieve keyboard layout information
 - Use libpng api for cicp if available

* GSK
 - Drop the old GL renderer

* Accessibility:
