Two new releases for the unstable branches of the GTK+ toolkit and its “basis” the GLib were made available a few hours ago.
Lots of bugs were fixed as expected, while the way some technologies work in both GTK and GLib were improved or changed. Here are the details of the releases:
GTK 3.7.8
Description:
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 projects to complete application suites.

Note that this is an unstable release that is intended for testing and developing purposes
GLib 2.35.7
Description:
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
Changes:
- Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
- Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
- Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
- A small docs fix
Bug fixes:
- (#657045) - G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE is misspelled
- (#636683) - [doc] “namespace:keyname” should be “namespace::keyname”
- (#682818) - atomic ops broken on mac/xcode
- (#693105) - Compile private test with -pthread on UNIX
