It's out, and I *think* it might integrate some of the little Gnome libraries courtesy of Project Ridley. Also changes the ABI, so it should be a rather interesting time when it hits the repos.

w00t! I'm always a fan of huge changes that break EVERYTHING!
I am happy that GTK is progressing. I hate Qt! Don't ask me why, as I don't really know.
@ Gullible: I thought Project Ridley was aimed at GTK 3.0?

I thought so too about Ridley, but I've heard that some of the stuff from it got applied to 2.10. Not sure though, I should look into this more.

Well, I hope we start seeing some of those libs consolidated so that maybe it would be possible to build some GNOME apps without pulling in the entire GNOME desktop. This is probably wishful thinking and not possible

the thing i like the most in gtk 2.10 (besides printing ) is rubberband selection for the treeview widget!
i've really missed that a lot and can't wait for the updated packages :>

Unfortunately we'll have to, I think, rebuilding packages (and probably some patching) is apparently going to be necessary.

gtk 2.10 is API and ABI compatible to previous gtk2 versions, that's why they name it 2.10 and not 3.0.
The thing that they did break is the ABI/API for filesystem plugins, like the gnomevfs plugin provided by libgnomeui. The module directory has been bumped from 2.4.0 to 2.10.0 to reflect this change.
About the new API additions: at this point equivalents of libegg, some parts of libgnome and libgnomeprint are integrated. As most apps still use the regular GNOME API, these apps will still depend on the old ones. It's just a matter of time until these either switch over, or someone makes a wrapper for them.
