Re: [Glade-devel] Glade 3.9.0 Released

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

Glade 3.10 will be a big step forward, removing widgets and ABI on
libglade-ui. When users min 3.10 expects more features no remove ones.

I think Glade 3.10 must be called 4.0 in line with Gtk+ 3.0 it points
to, and because it removes legacy widgets and libglade-ui ABI changes.
