This week in GTK+ – 24

In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 46 commits, with 1541 lines added and 3471 lines removed.

Planning and status

• Emmanuele Bassi outlined a list of items to work on GSK on the wiki
• The GTK+ road map is available on the wiki.

Notable changes

On the master branch:

• Matthias Clasen worked on removing the custom -gtk-gradient CSS function and ensured that the standard radial-gradient and linear-gradient functions worked as defined by the CSS specifications
• Lapo Calamandrei ported Adwaita and other themes shipped by GTK+ to the standard CSS gradient definitions
• Benjamin Otte introduced a GskTexture API inside GSK to cache icon assets from GTK+ and avoid multiple texture uploads
• Timm Bäder removed the custom style properties used by GtkTreeView and GtkToolItemGroup, and replaced them with standard CSS properties
• Timm also removed the appears-as-list custom style property from GtkComboBox

On the 3.22 stable branch:

• Matthias Clasen released GTK+ 3.22.3
• Chun-wei Fan merged the HiDPI display support for Windows
