This Week in GTK+ – 3

In this last week, GTK+ has seen 26 commits, with 5081 lines added and 3618 lines removed.

Planning and Status

• Matthias Clasen released GTK+ 3.21.2, a development snapshot towards the 3.22 release.
• Timm Bäder rebased his image viewer widget branch.
• Carlos Soriano is working on a prototype path bar replacement to be used by both the file chooser and Nautilus.
• Matthias Clasen is refining the tab strip widget.

Notable changes

• The documentation has seen various improvements, notably in the CSS reference and the GTK+ 2.x → 3.x migration guide.
• Matthias Clasen added a section to the API reference that maps the release notes in the README file; this section will be used as the starting point for the migration guide from 3.x to future major releases of GTK+.
• The gtk-builder-tool utility, which allows to validate, simplify, preview, or inspect a UI description file now leaves the GtkDialog:border-width property alone when simplifying the properties set to a default value.
