GTK+, a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces that provide a complete set of widgets, suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites, is now at version 3.7.4.

According to the developers, GTK+ 3.7.4 incorporates new features and quite a few updates:

• The default font is no longer handled like a custom style sheet that overrides everything;
• GTK+ now uses proper Unicode ellipses in strings;
• Several important performance improvements have been implemented;
• Custom CSS properties have been deprecated;
• Icon loading overhead was reduced by caching of GtkIconInfo.

A complete changelog, featuring all the updates and fixes, can be found in the official announcement.

Download GTK+ 3.7.4 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.

So, does this mean more 'joyous breakages' of existing custom themes? Let hope so eh?
