This Week in GTK+ – 9

In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 26 commits, with 2416 lines added and 180 lines removed.

Planning and status
  • Emmanuele Bassi is working on his GSK rendering branch, and Alex Larsson gave an initial review. Emmanuele also wrote a blog post on his GSK work.
  • The discussion on the release strategy is still going on on gtk-devel-list; opinions are still welcome.
  • William Hua has been rebasing his branch on the new, Wayland and Mir ready popup positioning API, which replaces positioning via global coordinates.
Notable changes
  • Matthias Clasen landed the “portals” implementation for negotiating access to resources outside of a sandbox in both GLib and GTK+. You can read more about it on his blog.

  • 768499 portal support for gtk+
  • 768546 Wrong documentation for the “move-viewport” signal of GtkTextView
