 ## Announcements
 
+* **<codedate**
+	* `uiWindowSetContentSize()` on Unix no longer needs to call up the GTK+ main loop. As a result, bugs related to strange behavior using that function (and the now-deleted `uiWindowSetPosition()` and `uiWindowCenter()`) should go away. I'll need to go through the bugs to verify as much, though.
+
 * **22 October 2016**
 	* Due to being unable to guarantee they will work (especially as we move toward capability-driven window systems like Wayland), or being unable to work without hacking that breaks other things, the following functions have been removed: `uiWindowPosition()`, `uiWindowSetPosition()`, `uiWindowCenter()`, and `uiWindowOnPositionChanged()`. Centering may come back at some point in the future, albeit in a possibly restricted form. A function to initiate a user move when a part of a uiArea is clicked will be provided soon.
