This Week in GTK+ – 1

What’s up with GTK+ for the week of 9 May 2016 – 15 May 2016

In this last week, GTK+ has seen 51 commits, with 5375 lines added and 4970 lines removed.

Planning and Status

The 3.22 development cycle is picking up pace while we go through the items of the Roadmap.

Notable changes
  • Olivier Fourdan fixed scroll event handling in GtkMenu, to ensure that it behaves consistently on X11 and Wayland with regards to smooth and discrete scrolling
  • The list of available protocols in the Connect to Server help popover is now populated using the list of supported schemes in GVFS, thanks to Georges Basile Stavracas Neto
  • Benjamin Otte has pushed a commit that lets GtkWidget emit the style-updated signal on unrealized widgets instead of delaying until realization; the original behavior was the result of an older optimization to avoid too many invalidations during construction, but the style system has improved over the years.
  • Timm Bäder pushed various clean up commits over various widgets, like GtkListBox, GtkStack, and GtkToolbar.

  • Bug 766175 – Translation of quotes may misinterpreted by GTK sidebar
