with focus shifted towards completing the port to GTK3

Is that a typo? I would have thought most software was shifting to GTK4 now?

[–] Matth78 24 points 7 months ago

Sadly, I don't think so. Searching about that I found out they switched to GTK3 interface being default just before GTK4 was released... And making the switch from GTK2 took a long time.

GTK4 is planned for 2050 (expect 5-6 year delay).

I don't know what GTK means and couldn't find it in the link. Care to share?

Gimp Tool Kit, where gimp means Gnu Image Manipulation Program, where gnu means Gnu's Not Unix. So, in short, gnu's not unix image manipulation program tool kit.

Never realised the G was GIMP... hilarious that its namesake software is lagging so far behind

going to be the party pooper here, but GTK means Gnu Tool Kit. It's a framework to build gui applicatiion.
