Re: [Gimp-developer] Gtk4

[Massimo Fidanza <malix0 gmail com>]

Let me say that I don't see a great reaction in the comment of this blog
post. To me this versionig schema sounds very overcomplicated and semantic
versioning (http://semver.org/) looks much better, but I'm not the
developer of GTK. So if Gimp 3 will be released before about 20 months from
now, tageting GTK+3 looks fine, otherwise considering GTK4 could be better.
But how much work need to be done to port to GTK4? Are there tools that can
automate the porting?
