For GNOME 3.16 with GTK+ 3.16 we've already wrote about some of the new features:
- Native OpenGL support for GTK+ for drawing that also includes a new GtkGLArea widget.
- Overlay scrollbars have finally made it into mainline GTK. This is priamrily for touch devices and a bit similar to Ubuntu's past work for overlay scrollbars.
Matthias Clasen wrote a blog post today that also documents some other early changes of GTK+ 3.16, and he also provides some videos of the new functionality in action.
- A Sidebar widget is also new (GtkSidebar) that is a way to turn the pages of a GtkStack.
- IPP printer support without depending upon PPD support.
- Pure CSS theming capabilities and is no longer using theme engines.
For GTK+ 3.16 there's also other changes on the GTK+ road-map including work on the GTK+ scene graph, style boxes, touchpad gestures, and more.
