Agree with Thomas, we should go to 2.24 for windows since we supply the bundle, Linux doesn't need to go so far, for eg what GTK did the current red hat and suse enterprise versions release with, expect 2.18 or 2.20.
I might be stepping completely out of line with this remark: Do people with dusty old GTK's use bleeding edge Geany?
It is rumored that some percentage (remember 0 is a percent :) of users are apparently stuck on ancient enterprise distros at work, need to use the latest bleeding edge Geany at all times, and are able install it but not GTK+ from source into $HOME. Or so the story goes :)
I imagine building newer GTK/GLib from source with only old dependencies would be a pain in the arse, having to grab and build all the newer dependencies too. It's also a pain for most users to install and manage multiple versions of libraries. Geany is actually very easy to build as it only requires Gtk/GLib.
Note: I have never built GTK/GLib from source.
