Given that the OSes that Sugar is based on will take several years to<br>
include that in their stable releases, and that GTK3 will be included<br>
for the next ten or twenty years, as GTK 1, 2 are currently, can you<br>
explain how that will help the Sugar system, given all the other work<br>
that needs doing?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The aim was to make the community know about the release and in no distant future we'll start looking at</div><div>porting sugar and the toolkit to GTK4, it doesn't have to happen right away or anytime soon.<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Also, I doubt that an activity ported to GTK4 will continue to run on<br>
GTK3 hence not on all the systems that don't have GTK4 yet, as the<br>
point of a major release is usually that its API is not compatible, so<br>
I expect that work to break the activities one by one for all<br>
practical purposes.<br>
