Ubuntu – When will Ubuntu migrate to GTK+ 3.0

gtk

I just got known that GTK+ 3.0.0 has been released.

  • Will Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 come with runtime libraries for GTK+ 3.0?
    Are these installed by default?

  • Will Ubuntu have development libraries and header files for compilation of GTK+ 3.0 programs?

  • When will Ubuntu (as whole) move to GTK 3?

I'm mostly concerned about moving audio-recorder app from GTK+ 2.x to 3.0.

GTK+ 3.0 will be available for 11.04, but not included by default and none of the default applications will be built with gtk3. This will give application developers time to port to gtk3, theme engines and themes to be updated, etc.
