GTK3 port status and nightly builds?

Hi,

I'd like to use GTK3. Are there any GIMP 3 binaries to test?

Is there a Roadmap of the current problems with GTK3? Will it be possible to use GTK3 without waiting for all stuff to be ported to GECL?

Please CC.

No.

Not in a written way.

Not unless you personally (or somebody else) complete the GTK3 port, sorry.

No.

Is it compiling at least?
Can I compile it myself?
Is it easy?

Are there tests that fail?

I can, and so can you.

Is it easy?

It was easy enough for me.

Not that I know of. AFAIK, bits of UI like custom widgets (e.g. the ruler) haven't been ported yet.

The main problem is, that Gimp has a library used by 3rd party plugins which provides some GTK+2-Widgets for plugin-ui. Switching to GTK+3 would make these libraries ABI-incompatible with older libgimpwidgets-versions. And since we promise ABI-stability for the Gimp 2.x series this makes it impossible to switch to GTK+3 without switching to a new major (i.e. 3.x) version.

But since we're not ready for a 3.x release (feature-wise) we're between a rock and a hard place here. It is a PITA, but well. Happens.

Bye, Simon
