We are also grateful to the GNOME foundation for supporting GTK with development resources, infrastructure, and travel assistance.ĭonating to the GNOME foundation is a good way to support future GTK development. GTK could not be developed without the many volunteers who contribute bug reports, patches, translations or ideas. If you are itching to port your application to GTK 4, our migration guide is available as part of the documentation.
GTK 2.0 INSTALL
If you want to try GTK 4.0 today, you can use the nightly flatpak builds of gtk4-demo and gtk4-widget-factory: $ flatpak install The GNOME 40 release will have a number of applications ported to GTK 4. Binary packages should appear in major distributions soon. The source tarballs are available in the usual place. We will do one final 2.x release in the coming days, and we encourage everybody to port their GTK 2 applications to GTK 3 or 4. It does mean, however, that GTK 2 has reached the end of its life.
GTK 2.0 UPDATE
That does not mean GTK 3 is dead – we will continue to support and update it for the foreseeable future (the latest release, 3.24.24, quietly went out a few days ago). GTK 4 is now stable, and we consider it ready for consumption.
