Hi,
As you may know GTK+-2 is at its EOL and the future is GTK+-3.
You can find the release history at [1].
In addition to just having a more maintained library, the other
advantages are:
- GTK+-3 has many new features like:
- CSS
- HTML5 backend
- Wayland support
- new widgets like: GtkStack, GtkHeaderBar, GtkListBox,
GtkPopover etc.
- gesture/multi-touch
- Python3 suppport (gtk+-2 has no binding for Python3)
We have already started the work on issue5387 [2] but we see that it is
not going fast enough to catch with the trunk development.
So B2CK would like to propose a crowd funding for this important
maintenance task. We have estimated the cost at 5000€.
The plan is to add the support in two steps:
- for 4.2:
- add support of GTK+-3 with compatibility with GTK+-2
- provide experimental build on GTK+-3 for Windows and MacOS
- for 4.4:
- remove support of GTK+-2
- start to add GTK+-3 only features
We would like to see if there is enough interest in the community to
start the crowd funding campaign.
