There is no plan to break glibmm (or giomm) ABI at the moment. I could
reconsider if we have large API improvements to make, though it is
rather late in the GNOME release schedule. Are the changes major?

Likewise, I don't plan to break their ABI either. It's hard enough to
get gtkmm-3.0 packages into distros. Depending on other new packages
would make it even harder. That doesn't seem worth it if there is no
serious improvement in the API.

Excellent. Then we can use them when we are ready. There are hints of a
GTK+ 4 fairly soon, so it might happen.

goocanvasmm has an unstable API, so feel free to commit changes there.
gtksourceviewmm is also not yet API stable, so that should be fine too.

I'd like to review a single big patch for gtkmm, please, in bugzilla.

Many thanks.
