1. It would be nice if you used GTK+ 2.3- and GNOME 2.5-like version

as discussed before, we can't use 3-part version numbers for a variety of reasons, all perl-related.

OK. Do you have any way to indicate API stability/addition with version numbers? Can you tell me - what version numbers you will use for your GNOME Platform Bindins 2.6.0 releases, for your libgnomeui binding, for instance? - what version numbers you will use for your GNOME Platform Bindins 2.7.x and 2.8.0 releases, for your libgnomeui binding, for instance?

i can't tell you right now what those versions will be for GNOME 2.8 --- but there are no API additions in our stable series, and we retain as much backwards-compatibility as possible. for example, you can compile the current stable release of the Gtk2 module against any currently existing stable release of gtk+-2.0.

but, for our stable series (even yy in x.yyz), there will be no API additions, only bugfixes. a new stable series may add API. e.g., no new functions will make it into Gtk2-1.02x, but will be available in Gtk2-1.04x. in fact, we're waiting impatiently for gtk+'s api freeze...

the current plan is to have 1.00x of Gnome2 and friends ready for the GNOME 2.6.0 release; they are currently in 0.9x beta series.
