Overview of Changes in 4.19.2, 27-06-2025
=========================================

Note: This release makes GTK rely on the Wayland text protocol
for input method support. For compositors without that protocol,
you can manually set GTK_IM_MODULE=simple to get back support for
X11-style compose sequences and dead keys.

* GtkImage:
 - Change the sizing behavior for paintables. Stop scaling them up

* Add g_uri_launcher_can_launch to check if a given uri has a handler

* GtkTextView:
 - Don't use keyboard layout for text direction

* GtkIconTheme:
 - Allow strokes in symbolic icons
 - Document the symbolic icon format
 - Add a small parser for symbolic svg files
 - Convert symbolic svgs to render nodes and rasterize them later
 - Require librsvg and always support svg
 - Make it possible to create GtkIconPaintable objects in ui files
 - Fix search path order to prefer ~/.local/share over /usr/share

* GtkVideo:
 - Port the gstreamer backend to use GskPlay

* Resources:
 - Clean up and simplify all symbolic icons and theme assets,
   so they can be handled by the built-in svg parser
 - Stop including png versions of symbolic icons and theme assets

* CSS:
 - Plug a memory leak in the css variables code
 - Support transition hints for gradients
 - Support two-position stops for gradients
 - Pass toplevel edge constraints to css
 - Support multiple keyframe selectors per block
 - Reimplement text shadows to match what browsers do

* GL:
 - Support multiplane texture formats

* GSK:
 - Fix some bugs in the path parser
 - Cache masks for fill and stroke nodes
 - Fix some corner cases of path semantics to match svg

* Deprecations:
 - Deprecate the remaining pixbuf APIs

* Tools:
 - Add some interactive controls to gtk4-path-tool
 - Add a command to convert symbolic svgs to nodes
 - The inspector UI has been improved in some places

* Demos:
 - Fix lighting in the gears GL demo
 - Use paintables for some icons, so we no longer rely on an
   icon theme to provide them
 - Stop hardcoding Cantarell as font in various places
 - Use paintables instead of themed icons in many places

* Build:
 - Include modules in libgtk
 - Build with libcups 3
 - Use meson 1.8.2
 - Require librsvg
 - Fix the build without memfd_create

* Wayland:
 - Stop handling compose sequences client-side, since
   the compositor does it
 - Plug a memory leak in the offloading code
 - Fix scaling of callback cursors
 - Update tablet cursors properly

* MacOS:
 - Support window snapping
 - Better window menu support
 - Don't build the x11 backend on macos, by default

* Windows:
 - Fix resizing problems with the cairo renderer
 - Add API for D3D12 textures
 - Refactor and modernize the WGL support
 - Fix many msvc warnings
 - Scale callback cursors
 - Use D3D11 or D3D12 and DirectComposition. This
   can be disabled using new GDK_DISABLE values:

   GDK_DISABLE=d3d11,d3d12,dcomp

* Android:
 - Simplify surface layout
