GTK+-2.3.6 released

This release is being made as an extra testing release before GTK+-2.4.0, which was previously scheduled for March 8, but has been delayed one week until March 15. Testing is most appreciated.

GTK+-2.3.6 is now available for download at:

 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.3/

gtk+-2.3.6.tar.bz2 md5sum: 2bb03af55fd797ec31ab60eafc29ff8a

Changes in this release include further polishing of GtkFileChooser
and GtkComboBox and many bug fixes.

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+-2.2. If you have problems, you'll need
 to reinstall GTK+-2.2.4.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
 
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
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.
