In this last week, the master branch of GTK+ has seen 26 commits, with 2416 lines added and 180 lines removed.

Planning and status

Emmanuele Bassi is working on his GSK rendering branch, and Alex Larsson gave an initial review. Emmanuele also wrote a blog post on his GSK work.

The discussion on the release strategy is still going on on gtk-devel-list; opinions are still welcome.

William Hua has been rebasing his branch on the new, Wayland and Mir ready popup positioning API, which replaces positioning via global coordinates.

Notable changes

Matthias Clasen landed the “portals” implementation for negotiating access to resources outside of a sandbox in both GLib and GTK+. You can read more about it on his blog.
