Hello, I've read the PDF at http://people.imendio.com/kris/gtk-state-of-the-union-2008.pdf
I am wondering what the options will be for users of the GTK lib, that still use deprecated widgets? In the project I work for, we do have a lot of them: [claws-mail/src]$ grep -r GtkItemFactory *|wc -l 163 [claws-mail/src]$ grep -r GtkTooltips *|wc -l 61 [claws-mail/src]$ grep -r GtkCTree *|wc -l 670 [claws-mail/src]$ grep -r GtkCList *|wc -l 198 They're used all over the place and in very central places of the code. Rewriting them to use newer, non-deprecated widgets would require a scary number of man-hours of un-fun work, introduce new bugs, and would take all of our (we're three core developers) energy to re-do work we've already done. We went through this when migrating from GTK+ 1 to GTK+ 2 already. We don't want to do it again. What do you plan on doing for users of your toolkit who don't have time to rewrite things every four years? -- Colin _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
