Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 29 April 2015 at 10:07 AM EDT. 4 Comments

The first GNOME GTK+ tool-kit update is now out there for the GNOME 3.17 development series that will culminate with the release of GNOME 3.18 in September.

GTK+ 3.17.1 is today's release in time for this week's GNOME 3.17.1 development milestone. This new version drops Windows XP support, has many improvements to high contrast themes, makes improvements to the Adwaita theme, improves client-side decorations when not using a compositor, supports horizontal wheel scrolling when holding down the Shift key, scrolling can now handle pens / erasers / similar devices, GTK+ on Wayland has drag-and-drop and clipboard fixes, Wayland support for the attached modal dialogs with Mutter, and there's a whole lot of bugs that have been fixed.

The full list of GTK+ 3.17.1 changes can be found via this Git commit.
