Missing File application.h in gtkmm-3.0 on Ubuntu 11.10

I'm currently trying to compile some code examples from

http://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/unstable/sec-treeview-examples.html.en

but from what I can see Ubuntu 11.10 gtkmm-3.0 is missing the file

/usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/application.h

and I can't find it anywhere else:

apt-file search "gtkmm/application.h"

returns nothing.

Even more strange, Application is not referenced anywhere under /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm.

Here's the main function

#include "../examplewindow.hpp"
#include <gtkmm/application.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app = Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv, "org.gtkmm.example");
    ExampleWindow window;
    return app->run(window);
}

Have I missed something? Has the API changed recently?

After reading the good answers:

For now, with gtkmm 3.2, I use 

#include "../examplewindow.hpp"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
    ExampleWindow window;
    Gtk::Main::run(window);
}

instead. What do I gain by using the 3.4 Application Interface instead?

There was some issues wrapping GtkApplication for gtkmm 3.0 and 3.2. It's now in the 3.3.x development sources, but was recently considered "not ready". I assume it will be in good shape when 3.4 is released.

According to the Gtk::Application documentation, it only exists on gtkmm 3.4+.
You can check the installed version of the package with:

pkg-config --modversion gtkmm-3.0
