Here you are the overview of changes in different versions of Gtk:

https://fossies.org/linux/gtk+/NEWS

The best new I can say about Gtk3 is the fact that Gtk-3.22 will be LTS,
while they continue working on
other versions and breaking APIs with a view to Gtk4. This pattern will
be repeated in future versions,
in other words, a concrete version of Gtk4 will be declared LTS while
they continue playing and breaking compatibilities.

Personally, I'll try to mantain my projects compatible with both Gtk-2.4
and Gtk-3.22 whenever possible.

Cheers,

Aitor.
