Si they finished last month With new features in applications in their circle, they have started this month by improving something more general. This week's entry in GNOME, a number 68 that will not enter the list of the longest, has begun by telling us about a novelty in GTK 4.10, one that is actually four: a new API has been introduced with four new dialogs that replace the four that were using so far.
GtkFileDialog will replace GtkFileChoserDialog; GtkColorDialog will do it with GtkColorChooserDialog; GtkFontDialog concGtkFontChooserDialog; and GtkAlertDialog will be the one to retire GtkMessageDialog. Emmanuele Bassi explains that these new classes are not widgets and are designed around asynchronous calls rather than broadcast signals. Once a method is called to perform an action, we will receive a callback or "callback" when closing a dialog window.
This week in GNOME
- money has reached Flatub. It is an application to control our finances, with a simple interface that looks great on the GNOME desktop (header image)
- Endeavor 43 has been released, with many bug fixes and UI improvements. The intention in this latest version has been to make the experience more stable. It's also available on Flathub.
- The first version of Weather O'Clock has been released, an extension to display the current weather on the left side of the clock without causing it to drift off the panel. You need to have GNOME Weather installed for it to work.
- gi-docgen, the introspection-based documentation generator used (among others) by GTK to publish its API reference, has gained the ability to show whether a symbol, type, token, or property is currently unstable and will be available in the next update. stable version. This should help visually distinguish the newly added APIs in the directly generated reference from the bleeding edge sources. The same style is also used to present when a symbol was introduced, and when it became obsolete.
- GNOME will leave GIMPnet and stay in the Matrix. One reason is that GIMPnet is not fully maintained by the service provider.
And that's been it for this week at GNOME.
