GTK 4.0 Toolkit Officially Released

GTK 4.0 features new widgets and reworks to existing elements, integrated media playback support, GPU acceleration improvements like work on its new Vulkan renderer, and better macOS support are some of the leading highlights. Some other additions include data transfer improvements, overhauling shaders, GPU accelerated scrolling, custom entry widgets are easy to make, OpenGL rendering improvements beyond the Vulkan work, restoring work on HTMl5 Broadway, better Windows support, and more.

GTK 4.0 is now considered stable for applications to begin supporting it. GTK 3 will continue to be maintained for the "foreseeable future" while GTK 2 is no longer going to be supported beyond one more point release.

GTK 4.0.

    I also now have to reconsider that Java 15 increasing its maximum heap from 4 TB to 16 TB might not be a good thing. It allows ever larger Hello World programs [github.com] to be created. (There is also the Java FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition [github.com]
