GTK+-2.2.2

GTK+-2.2.2 is now available for download at:

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.2/

This is a bug fix release and is source and binary compatible
with previous releases in the 2.0 and 2.2 series. This release
contains a considerable number of bug fixes in all parts of
GTK+.

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
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software,
without any license fees or royalties.

Where to get more information about
GTK+

Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be
found at:

http://www.gtk.org/

An installation guide for GTK+-2.2 is found at:
