These are great, but you still need to have a good support community around GTK+ and great documentation, tutorials and what not in order to take advantage of them. That said, we should probably also talk about Builder since Christian is so kindly going to spend all his time on it for a year so that we can have something awesome. We will also need to update our glade3 to be able to access all of the new GTK+ widgets. A good exercise is to identify all tlhe barriers of GTK+ adoption and support. For instance, I have heard some claims that ABI breakages are happening between releases. It's hard to quantify and qualify these issues as they are wrapped in sarcasm or exaggeration. Reddit and other social media is a real poor platform these things. _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
