Re: GTK+ 2.20.0 is now available for download...

I don't have an old background with Gtk but Sergei has resume exactly the sense of my question.
Why not wait for the stable version of GLib to produce the stable Gtk lib (especially if the next stable version of the Glib is coming soon) ?

Nonsense.

In the 'gnome' world _stable_are the ones which have even minor version
and as _stable_ they should depend on _stable_ libraries which also have
even minor version.

A stable release depending on unstable libraries by definition is not
stable.
