GTK+ 2.9.1 is now available for download at:

  ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.9/
  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.9/

gtk+-2.9.1.tar.gz  md5sum: 12f81fd2f05c79c950b134e37e01d099
gtk+-2.9.1.tar.bz2 md5sum: 1bc1ae050239bab9b525e143c07d1e8f

This is the second development release leading up to GTK+ 2.10.


Notes:

* This is unstable development release. 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+ 2.8. If you have problems, you'll need to
  reinstall GTK+ 2.8.

* GTK+ 2.10 will be source compatible with the GTK+ 2.8 series;
  the new API additions in GTK+ 2.9.0 are not yet finalized, so
  there are likely incompatibilies between this release and the
  final 2.10 release.

* The ABI version has been bumped from 2.4.0 to 2.10.0, since
  the filechooser backend interface has been changed. Third-party
  filechooser backends need to be ported to the new interface.
  Other third-party modules (input methods, image loaders, etc)
  just need to be reinstalled in the proper location for GTK+ to
  find them.

* Remaining issues for GTK+ 2.10 can be found with following
  bugzilla query:

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.
