This week in GTK+ – 28

In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 103 commits, with 5986 lines added and 1896 lines removed.

Planning and status

• Benjamin Otte is working on a refactoring of the GSK render node API
• Emmanuele Bassi worked on a 3.x-specific branch that allows GDK to use EGL instead of GLX on X11 platforms
• The GTK+ road map is available on the wiki.

Notable changes

On the master branch:

• Benjamin merged the Vulkan renderer for GSK, as comparison point for the GL and Cairo renderers. The Vulkan renderer adds a new optional dependency on a working Vulkan implementation, as well as glslc
• The Vulkan renderer also resulted in a large refactoring of the GL drawing code inside GDK, though this should not have caused any user-visible changes in the API
• Benjamin also implemented support for the CSS border-spacing property following the CSS 2.1 specification

On the gtk-3-22 stable branch:

• Matthias released GTK+ 3.22.5.

Bugs fixed

• 775651 – GdkX11-4.0.gir, GdkWin32-4.0.gir, and Gsk-4.0.gir are generated before Gdk-4.0.gir is ready
