GTK development would not be possible without the help of the @GNOME project. Donations—especially recurring ones—to GNOME are necessary to ensure the continued existence of the infrastructure GTK relies on for building and testing.

Matthias and Florian are talking at LAS about the Android backend for GTK4 #las2025 #linuxappsummit #GTK

Double release! Matthias released GTK 4.18.4 from the stable branch, which contains a series of fixes for the cursor tracking on Wayland, as well as a fix for window resizing on Windows. Off the main development branch also comes GTK 4.19.0, the first snapshot towards GTK 4.20, to be released in September alongside GNOME 49. This is a development release, so beware! #gtk #gtk4

It seems that a few people are being misinformed about the deprecation of the X11 backend, usually because they read screeds from well-known bad faith actors. The X11 backend being deprecated mainly means that we're not going to spend time implementing new features, like dmabuf, graphics offloading, or Vulkan support. X11 support will still exist until GTK4 is EOL, which will happen once GTK *6* is released. We're talking about a 20 years horizon, at this point…
