Congratulations to Georges. It is not every day that you get to close an 18 year old feature request:
blog.gtk.org
In the last post, we discussed deprecating treeviews and cell renderers, among other things. All these deprecations cause a lot of work for applications and libraries using these APIs, so why are...

We are dropping the Autotools build for GTK3, and have fully switched to @mesonbuild. If you package GTK3 and you are still using Autotools, now is the time to switch. For more information, see the announcement on Discourse:
discourse.gnome.org
The next GTK 3 release, 3.24.36, will drop support for building with Autotools. GTK has been using Meson in its main development branch since 2016, and in the gtk-3-24 branch since 2018. While we did...

GTK supports MacOS, but the Cocoa integration is not the best. I've been working on a bunch of patches that I hope will make GTK a serious option for who ever wants to build MacOS apps. Here is the result, the Todo List demo app with my patches GTK (1/5):

It took almost a year, but the work done by @who_t and I on high-resolution scroll finally landed in Mutter (@gnome), wlroots (Sway) and @GTKtoolkit, both X11 and Wayland 😁
And thanks to Peter, it's been a joint effort :) Adding the mandatory TL;DR demo: 👈 On the left, a GTK app without high-resolution wheel scrolling support. 👉 On the right, an updated GTK app and an XWayland one (Chrome) showing my cat, because, you know, the internet.
