Hi, The plan for GtkSourceView is to follow GTK+. So GtkSourceView 3.90 released at the same time as GTK+ 3.90, if everything goes well.
But last cycle (before the freeze) we didn't know that GTK+ 3.22 would be the last GTK+ 3 version. And there was some more things that I wanted to do in GtkSourceView (adding other APIs and deprecating old ones). So a GtkSourceView 3.24 is needed, so that porting applications will be easier with the deprecation warnings [1]. And, the master branch is now ready for GtkSourceView 3.24. The question is: when to release it? Do we do a period of freeze? There are a few changes for translations. I think the best is to do a few weeks of freeze and then release 3.24. Another solution is to wait March. What do you think? -- Sébastien [1] BTW, off-topic but worth mentioning, I added "version 2" functions (e.g. to add a parameter), for example foo2() has been added, foo() has been deprecated and in GtkSourceView 3.90 foo2() will just be renamed to foo(). Adding foo2() is backward-compatible, so porting an application to GtkSourceView 4 will be trivial (wrt those API breaks, at least). Usually adding numbers at the end of function names is a bad practice, but here it just means "version 2" (like some Linux syscalls). _______________________________________________ [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
