Re: [orca-list] Please test Orca master with GNOME 3.28

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello Joanie,

Unfortunately I am unable to test anything on GNOME as I don't have it.

However as in Slint we have gtk+3-3.18.9 (gtk+2-2.24.31), could you please
tell in whick Gtk+ version the change occurred? I assume a much newer
than what we currently have, but better safe than sorry.

In ask because I plan to upgrade Orca to version 3.31.1 for Slint soon.

Unless you plan to provide a new version even sooner ;)

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Didier
