because after gtk+ 2.24 is released, in parallel with gtk+ 3.0 this December, the 2.x branch goes into deep maintainance mode: no further releases will be done and only patches fixing critical bugs will be applied. gtk+ 3.0 is the next major version: new features will only be added there. this is the "grace period" when application developers can still influence the API and feature set of 3.x; after 3.0 has been released, the API and ABI guarantees come into effect and you'll have to wait until 4.x for another API/ABI break. obviously, distributions will still package gtk+ 2.0 for the foreseeable future, so you don't *have* to port your application *now*. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
