This week in GTK+ – 35

In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 33 commits, with 5011 lines added and 8140 lines removed.

Planning and status

• The GTK+ road map is available on the wiki
• Patrick Griffis is experimenting with a feature branch to deprecate and remove gtk_dialog_run(); see this comment on the pitfalls of nested main loops with regards to UI threads, IPC threads, and I/O threads
• Matthias Clasen is experimenting with re-using the fuzzy search in libdazzle in the icon browser

Notable changes

On the master branch:

• Matthias Clasen added the ability to copy the icon name to the clipboard to the icon browser utility
• Matthias also made the GtkCenterBox widget public; this widget replaces the equivalent functionality of GtkBox to have a centered widget
• Olivier Fourdan fixed various bugs in the Wayland backend, and backported the fixes to the gtk-3-22 stable branch
• Chun-wei Fan pushed various fixes to ensure that GTK+ keeps building with MSVC on Windows
• Emmanuele Bassi modified the Meson build to ensure that all the SASS-based themes are regenerated when building GTK+, if sassc is installed; Lapo Calamandrei removed the Gem file for Ruby/Sass, and thus GTK+ switched to sassc as the preferred SASS compiler

Bugs fixed

• 770513 – MainToolbar in full-screen mode has rounded corners, which show video pixel bleed-thru underneath it
• 783347 – gtkfilechoosernativewin32: Fix support for non-ASCII paths
• 781945 – SIGSEGV dragging window on Wayland when toplevel window set_transient_for is set to another toplevel
• 782283 – Wayland: Crash when dismissing a menu when a tooltip is visible
• 781285 – Key repeat cancel under Wayland should depend on which key is repeating
• 783397 – Remove unused code in gtktextdisplay.c
