Re: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0)

Hi Curtis,

I think it's time we (you) did the next release of GParted.  I've looked at the changes to configure.ac and tested building GParted from GIT on a newly installed Fedora 29 box without any old dependencies.  Below is what I think the updated dependencies are.

Thanks,
Mike


Dependencies (new/updated)
--------------------------
  * gtkmm >= 3.4.0
  * glibmm >= 2.32
  * libparted >= 2.2
  * yelp-tools

Dependencies (no longer needed)
-------------------------------
  * gnome-doc-utils
  * rarian
  * rarian-compat

Re: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0)

Hi Mike and Curtis,

Before releasing GParted do you think we should fix https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/issues/39? I was thinking about fixing this after Modern Gtk3 part 2 but I can do it even now, it's not complicated.

Thanks!
Luca

Re: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0)

Hi Luca and Mike,

Thank you both for all your work migrating GParted from gtkmm2 to gtkmm3.

I would like to see MR 39 - After GTK3 port icons are too big on KDE fixed before we make a release.  If you could do that Luca then that would be great.

We just released GParted Live 0.33.0-2 on March 22, 2019 so I think it would be okay if we take a week or two to do some cleanup before creating another release.

Thanks Mike for the updated dependencies.  I will add these to the upcoming release notes for GParted 1.0.0.

Regards,
Curtis

Re: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0)

Mike and Luca,

Are there any other changes you would like included with the 1.0.0 release of GParted?

If not then I will start the release process (at least 1 week notice to translators for time to update translations).

Thanks,
Curtis
