GTK+ 2.17.1 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/2.17/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/2.17/ md5 sums: ba8f8bf549be224b124a9efa745d9240 gtk+-2.17.1.tar.bz2 ef23284eaf9f0229d919e09ce767653b gtk+-2.17.1.tar.gz sha1 sums: 59b495971de3604696caa92946f0c47b8a4235a9 gtk+-2.17.1.tar.bz2 09464b1bc5b852094f1607dcb17d19e442f7cb57 gtk+-2.17.1.tar.gz This is a development release leading up to GTK+ 2.18. Notes: * This is an unstable development release. It has had only little testing and there are unfinished features and plenty of bugs in this release. It should definitively not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.16. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.16. * GTK+ 2.18 will be source and binary compatible with the GTK+ 2.16 series; however, the new API additions are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.18 release. * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. What is GTK+ ============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties.
