well, I know of at least 2 bugfixes that impact applications I work with. There may not be major new functionality (at least I'd hope not for an incremental release). It would be good form to list out what those changes are. I can work on it monday if no one else starts before then.

Another that might not be as high a priority is that a lot of new distributions (linux mainly) are only delivering with gtk2, not with gtk1.2 anymore. For example, with Fedora Core 4, the GTK module that pike 7.6.24 comes with won't be installed, because the appropriate libraries are not installed.
So, the new GTK2 module should be included, I believe.
Yes, I did write the module, so I have sort of a vested interest in it being included, but I was thinking of upgrading my desktop to FC4, but since I have some GTK applications, I need to have a pike version that supports GTK on that platform, which means the new GTK2 module.
Granted, the GTK2 module needs a little work to be appropriate for inclusion, but that is just one thing I can think of.
