Yet another development release leading up to GTK+ 2.16.
Notes:
 * This is unstable development release. While it has had  a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs  remaining to be found. This release should not be used  in production.
 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing  copy of GTK+. If you have problems, you'll need to  reinstall GTK+ 2.14.
 * GTK+ 2.16 will be source and binary compatible with  the GTK+ 2.14 series. The API additions in GTK+ 2.15  are finalized at this point, only minimal API changes  are expected to happen between 2.15.5 and 2.16.
 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

What is GTK+============
GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical userinterfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable forprojects ranging from small one-off tools to complete applicationsuites.
GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range oflanguages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl andPython (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) providesan effective method of rapid application development.
GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, thelicensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by alldevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, withoutany license fees or royalties.
