Hi,

Lablgtk has been dormant for quite some time now and I think it's worth
thinking a bit about its future.

As far as I'm concerned, GTK+3 has completely killed my motivation: it
changed many things, communicated poorly about them, was very clearly
meant for GNOME and JS or Python bindings, changed API and behaviour
regularly, ...

In the future, the plan for GTK+ is to have a major release every 2 to 3
years. Each would take around 18 months to stabilize. It would then be
maintained until the following one becomes stable.
GTK+ 4 development has started a few months ago and will probably be
called stable in 6 to 12 months.

I ask because I think it would be valuable to be able to mention a
status and a plan for the future so that people know what to expect: new
developments, maintenance-only, ...

Best,
