I'm starting to have second thoughts about this. I looked at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pango which says that the current stable
version of Pango is 1.29.5 but then I looked at
http://www.gtk.org/documentation.php and the links there seem to
suggest that pango-1.29 is unstable and pango-1.28 is the stable
series. Personally I've been using pango-1.29.3 for months and I'm not
aware of any bus in it, but then I'm English and Pango is for laying
out international text.

So what do people think, is it Ok to put pango-1.29 in the book?
gtk+-3.2 requires pango-1.29. gtk+-3.2.2 is the current stable version
of gtk+-3. It's a contradiction. Advice please.
