*** gtkmm

gtkmm 2.7 wraps new API in GTK+ 2.7, and is API/ABI-compatibile with gtkmm 2.4 and 2.6. 
The new API is unstable, until this become the API/ABI-stable gtkmm 2.8 when 
GTK+ 2.7 becomes the API-stable GTK+ 2.8

gtkmm stays in-sync with GTK+ by following the official GNOME release schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/

Bindings for the rest of the GNOME Platform are also available, and are also 
API-stable.
