14 DAY TRIAL // While working hard on the upcoming third pre-release version of the GNOME 3.24 desktop environment, the GNOME development team announced a new maintenance update for the GTK+ 3.22 GUI toolkit for GNOME 3.22 desktops.
GTK+ (formerly GIMP Toolkit) is an open-source and cross-platform widget toolkit used for creating modern Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for GNOME apps, which can also be used on Microsoft Windows and macOS operating systems. The latest stable series is GTK+ 3.22 for the GNOME 3.22 desktop environment released on September 21, 2016.
As of December 9, GTK+ 3.22.5 is now the most advanced stable version of the cross-platform GUI toolkit, bringing a bunch of bug fixes, updated translations, and an updated gtk3-demo component that now features an example for using the PangoTabArray convenience function to create multi-column layouts.

GTK+ 3.22.5 introduces a bunch of fixes across multiple widgets, including GtkMenu, GtkProgressbar, GtkNotebook, GtkTextHandle, GtkLabelAccessible, and GtkScaleButton, as well as various improvements to the Wayland support.
