Public bug reported: Impact ------ There is a new point release in the stable GTK 4.6 series.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/4.6.3/NEWS Also, we are cherry-picking a few patches - Work around infinite loop in box allocation (Closes: #1010547) - Make it easier to select the current folder with a file chooser - Fix saving into a subdirectory with a file chooser - Fix text view scrolling with mutter 42.1 (LP: #1972722) - Fix an invalid format string with EGL support (fixes an issue for a Canonical customer) Test Case 1 ----------- Make sure that opening and saving files from the Firefox and Chromium snaps still work Test Case 2 ----------- snap install portal-test snap run portal-test Verify that the app seems to still work ok What Could Go Wrong ------------------- Ubuntu includes xdg-desktop-portal-gnome by default which is used for many snap actions like providing a file chooser. This is critical functionality for our snaps. The Ubuntu flavors use a different portal backend, most commonly xdg- desktop-portal-gtk which uses GTK3 so it's not affected by this SRU. The other gtk4 apps installed by default in Ubuntu are gnome-chess and gnome-shell-extension-prefs. gtk is not listed in the proposed set of packages at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME but I believe it should be. gtk4 has extensive build tests and autopkgtests. Other Info ---------- The invalid format string patch has been cherry-picked to the Debian Salsa branch and will be included in the next kinetic upload. This upload also includes some build test workarounds applied in Debian for https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4889 Some tests provided by GTK (and pango and librsvg) are not flexible enough to be used when dependency versions are not exactly the same as in the upstream developer's system ** Affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Fix Released ** Affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: High Assignee: Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) Status: In Progress ** Tags: jammy upgrade-software-version ** Also affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk4 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973219 Title: Update gtk4 to 4.6.3 Status in gtk4 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gtk4 source package in Jammy: In Progress Bug description: Impact ------ There is a new point release in the stable GTK 4.6 series. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/4.6.3/NEWS Also, we are cherry-picking a few patches - Work around infinite loop in box allocation (Closes: #1010547) - Make it easier to select the current folder with a file chooser - Fix saving into a subdirectory with a file chooser - Fix text view scrolling with mutter 42.1 (LP: #1972722) - Fix an invalid format string with EGL support (fixes an issue for a Canonical customer) Test Case 1 ----------- Make sure that opening and saving files from the Firefox and Chromium snaps still work Test Case 2 ----------- snap install portal-test snap run portal-test Verify that the app seems to still work ok What Could Go Wrong ------------------- Ubuntu includes xdg-desktop-portal-gnome by default which is used for many snap actions like providing a file chooser.
