Question about the state of development of GTK+ 3.5/3.6+

[Fan Chun-wei <fanc999 yahoo com tw>]

Hi,

I was wondering about the recent works on accessibility, in particular 
the part regarding the new hard
dependency on atk-bridge-2.0, which I presume to be a "new" library if I 
read correctly from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677491.

It seems to me that it is something that depends on AT-SPI (please 
correct me if I am mistaken here
at any point), which is something that seems to be Linux/*nix only.  
What I would like to know-is there a change on the
multi-platform (Windows/Mac/*nix) support for GTK+, or it is something 
that is new for the development
of the toolkit on *nix only?  By no means of disrespect, and I do not 
mean to over-exaggerate here,
I think it would be a pity if GTK+ becomes *nix only, especially after 
it had come a long, long way to work
well on various non-*nix platforms by the hard work of many people in 
the past-especially when GTK+-3.4.x would be
the first GTK+-3.x stable release that works well on Windows, for example.

p.s. I do understand that there is an initiative [1] to support UIA for 
GNOME/GTK+ on Windows, but most probably
it would take time to do even when one is able to build that without 
legal concerns using Visual C++ in conjunction
with the Windows SDK, in which I try my best to ensure that the GTK+ 
stack can be built with Visual C++ entirely on Windows.

Thank you-I wanted to say thank you for the hard work into this great 
toolkit anyways, with blessings!
