Re: gtkmm 3.24 or new API in gtkmm 3.22?

[Daniel Boles <dboles src gmail com>]

Sorry if it was already discussed -  I feel like it probably was, but can't see it right now.

Even though GTK+ has no plans for versions > 3.22, couldn't gtkmm branch and have an 'almost-stable' gtkmm-3-24, etc of its own for changes that are fairly innocuous, but which you still don't want in the 3-22 branch?

It could be a bit confusing in terms of numbering, but as long as GTK+ keeps to its plan, never ambiguous with GTK+. Anyway, the potential for ambiguity could be sidestepped by using a different scheme, e.g. gtkmm-3-22-b, which would probably be sensible from the outset.

The key thing, which might resolve the apparent concern, seems to be just using a different version number/name, to indicate to users that they have new or deprecated API to think about.
