  • 2021-01-22: the gtk4 branch is now based on GTK 4.0.2 and GLib 2.66.4. You can use it, most of the remaining bugs in the examples are GTK 4 bugs and should disappear in next GTK releases. GTK 4 is already available in Fedora 33. We plan an official release of gtk-fortran 4.0 around April, when GTK 4.2 will be available in Fedora.
  • 2020-12-19: GTK 4.0.0 was released. It is already available in Fedora Rawhide and is used in our gtk4-vmagnin branch: the core of gtk-fortran is ready, although there is still some bugs in the HL library, the examples and GTK 4 itself. Work in progress...

  • 2019-01-19: following an ownership transfer, the gtk-fortran repository URL is now https://github.com/vmagnin/gtk-fortran. The URL https://github.com/jerryd/gtk-fortran is automatically redirected to the new URL. So it is transparent to the user.
