Well, the GTK for Win32 homepage was always a bit confusing :-)

I would think the current stable to be the 2.6, as this is also the 
version of the files provided on the download page (I would like to use 
files from that page rather than compiling from source). The 2.8 is 
mentioned, but I don't see any files.

The last time I asked Tor (few weeks ago?) of the current state, he 
noticed that 2.4 is rather old and we should update to 2.6 or 2.8.

He was planning to declare the 2.8 as the new stable version but there 
seems to be no changes since then.

The Gimp (which seems to be the main source of operation for the GTK 
Win32 port) also currently uses 2.6.9, so we might want to switch to 
this version for now.

Changing from 2.6 to 2.8 seems to be less painful than the 2.4 to 2.6 
versions (which was requiring the file function wrappers I've already 
done)...
