This Week in GTK+ – 15

In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 60 commits, with 10838 lines added and 6850 lines removed.

Planning and status
  • We’re close to the GTK+ 3.22 release, in time for GNOME 3.22.
  • Emmanuele has implemented a more comprehensive fallback path for mixed widget trees in his GSK branch.
  • Timm Bäder has taken the initial port of the build system to Meson done at GUADEC by Jussi Pakkanen and improved upon it.
  • The GTK+ road map is available on the wiki.
Notable changes
  • Carlos Garnacho merged his branch that implements graphic tablet support for the Wayland GDK backend; more details are available on his blog.
  • Jonas Ådahl ported GDK to the 6th version of the Wayland xdg_shell protocol, and he also fixed the behavior of transient-for windows created by sandbox portals on Wayland.
