Topic: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (0.13.0)

With the next release of GParted (0.13.0) we plan to focus on bug fixes and some new features.

The release will become 1.0.0 if and when we drop support for the gtkmm-2.4 API.  The plan with the first few releases is to maintain compatibility with both gtkmm-2.4 and gtkmm-3.0.
