Hi, the summary says it all, since 2.12.7, the variable didn't change while the NEWS talks about added functions, some functions now have some defaults for their parameters. I believe these should reflect in this variable like glibmm does.
Yeah, we don't change it. Neither does GTK+, I think. It causes more problems than it solves.
GTK+ definitely changes. 2.14.4 is .so.0.1400.4 in the end result, 2.14.3 was .so.0.1400.3, 2.12.12 was .so.0.1200.12, etc. What mostly matter is ABI breaks where problems happen - but the problem is the ABI break itself, not proper reflection of it.
We don't break ABI.
