Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0) (Page 2 of 2)

Hi Curtis,

Yes, I still have 2 patches left that may be included in GParted 1.0.0

• A very simple patch still related to #52 which is needed in order to address a change introduced in Gtk 3.22 that breaks the layout of the Partition Info dialog.

• A rather large patch to bring back alternate row coloring in the partition list treeview. Unfortunately there is no reliable way to style treeview rows using CSS, so I have worked on a StyledTreeView class that uses custom cell renderers to draw in a theme-compatible way, i.e. with GtkStyleContexts (foreign drawing). This may also be too much complicated so I don't know if it is worth including in GParted.

Thanks,
Luca

Hi Curtis and Mike,

I have opened my last Merge Requests for the GParted 1.0.0 release:

• gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/merge_requests/39

• gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/merge_requests/40

They are now ready for review and merge. Thank you!
Luca

Patchset MR !40 - Limit wrapping Gtk::Labels has been committed to the git repository.  Thanks to Luca Bacci for this fix.

Hi Curtis,

All patches from me needed for the GParted 1.0.0 release have been applied. I'm okay with starting the release process.

Thanks,
Luca

GParted 1.0.0 is planned for release on May 29, 2019.

Please feel free to make suggestions to improve the release notes.

Preliminary Release Notes
------------------------
  This release of GParted includes a significant undertaking to
  migrate the code base from gtkmm2 to gtkmm3 (our GTK3 port).  Thanks
  go to Luca Bacci and Mike Fleetwood for making this happen.

  With this major change we bump up the major version number.  This
  1.0.0 release is not meant to indicate that GParted is more stable
  or less stable than before.  Instead it means that GParted now
  requires gtkmm3 instead of gtkmm2.  Note that several other
  dependencies have changed as well.

  As with our other releases, this one also includes several
  enhancements, bug fixes and language translation updates.

### Key changes include:

  * Port to Gtkmm 3
  * Port to GNOME 3 yelp-tools documentation infrastructure
  * Enable online resizing of extended partitions
