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.
