WebKitGtk. When I wrote that I was thinking Gtk4, but that won't work on Windows because WebKitGtk 2.4, the last release before they ripped out all of the Windows support code, obviously doesn't support Gtk4.
I don't know that we have until 2026 because I don't know what are the other WebKitGtk based applications Carlos referred to so I don't know where they are on migrating. We know from experience that nobody's going to wait for us. I couldn't find the earlier discussion about release cycles either. The options are to keep doing what we're doing or to switch to a more continuous model where stable is the only central branch and feature branches are merged in when they're ready. We'd switch to a year-based versioning similar to Ubuntu's; I proposed YYYY-n, e.g. 2024-1, 2024-2, etc. on the same quarterly schedule. There would be no beta releases; the few users willing to test could do so with nightly builds. If we don't change to the continuous model, 6.0 would drop 29 March 2026, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule#Goals_for_6.0. 8 March is string freeze.
