Objective:

Port Sequeler to Gtk4 to take advantage of the improvements and new features this version offers.

Advantages of Porting to Gtk4:

  • Performance Improvements: Gtk4 provides enhanced performance compared to previous versions, resulting in a smoother and more responsive interface.

  • New Functionalities: Gtk4 introduces new widgets and improvements to existing ones, allowing for a more modern and attractive user interface. For instance, the ability to use shadow effects and advanced animations.

  • Wayland Compatibility: Transitioning to Gtk4 will facilitate native support for Wayland, improving compatibility with more modern desktop environments.

  • Future Development: Updating to Gtk4 ensures the project's continuity and support, allowing Sequeler to evolve alongside the latest Linux desktop technologies.

Next Steps:

  • Assess the compatibility of the existing code with Gtk4.
  • Rewrite or adapt the user interface components to utilize the new Gtk4 APIs.
  • Test and fix issues during the migration.
  • Document the changes made and update dependencies.
