Re: goocanvasmm and gtkmm4

[Daniel Boles <dboles src gmail com>]

the point is that more volunteers or paid devs are needed to keep these things up to date. the surest way to make it usable is to contribute.

anyway, gtk and gtkmm 3 won't be goint anywhere for a while. gimp hasnt even moved to 3 yet. so there is absolutely no need or imho point in rushing to 4.

Thanks for your answer! But it sounds a bit horrible as I work on a very
large application which is fully based on goocanvasmm. If this will not
be supported any longer, years of work will be dropped. Is this the
point to move to a more stable gui toolkit instead continuing and hope
there will be any support? That is a very cost intensive decision!
