-This library implements a full callback system for use in widget libraries,
-abstract interfaces, and general programming. Originally part of the Gtk--
-widget set, libsigc++20 is now a separate library to provide for more general
-use. It is the most complete library of its kind with the ability to connect
-an abstract callback to a class method, function, or function object. It
-contains adaptor classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an
-ease of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.
+libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It
+allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any
+callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of
+whether it is static or virtual.
 
-Package GTK-- (gtkmm), which is a C++ binding to the GTK+ library,
-starting with version 1.1.2, uses libsigc++20.
+libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system. It does not
+depend on GTK+ or gtkmm.
