This week in GTK+ – 26

In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 40 commits, with 1551 lines added and 1998 lines removed.

Planning and status

• Matthias Clasen released the first GTK+ 3.89 development snapshot
• The GTK+ road map is available on the wiki.

Notable changes

On the master branch:

• Andrew Chadwick landed a series of fixes for graphic tablets support on Windows
• Benjamin Otte removed the gtk_cairo_should_draw_window() utility function; the function was introduced for compatibility in the 3.x API, but now it’s not necessary any more
• Benjamin also removed gdk_window_process_updates() and gdk_window_process_all_updates(); GDK has long since been switched to a frame clock; additionally, only top level GdkWindow can be used as a rendering surface
• Lapo Calamandrei updated the High Contrast and Adwaita theme with the recent round of CSS improvements for progress bars and gradients

Bugs fixed

• 774114 – Window shadows are repainted even if only the contents of the window change
• 774695 – GtkProgressbar needs full and empty classes
• 774265 – No tilt for wintab devices

• 775038 – Build: Add wayland to GSKs dependencies
• 774917 – [wayland] child subsurfaces need to be placed relative to their parent
• 774893 – Application font sizes scaling gets clamped to 1.00 when starting GtkInspector
• 774939 – GtkLabelAccessible: Initialize link before setting parent
• 774760 – inspector: ensure controller is a GtkGesture
• 774686 – GtkMenu does not unref all GtkCheckMenuItem it creates
• 774743 – GtkNotebook does not unref all GtkBuiltinIcon it creates
• 774790 – GtkTextHandle does not unref all GtkAdjustment it references
