Phoronix: GTK+ 3.17.1 Fixes Many Bugs, Drops XP, Improves High Contrast Themes

The first GNOME GTK+ tool-kit update is now out there for the GNOME 3.17 development series that will culminate with the release of GNOME 3.18 in September...

I would like to see further Wayland support improved.
GTK does support Wayland, however the Wayland backend is rather immature and does not work nearly as good as the X11 backend.

I would also like to see multi-row/column selection in GtkSourceView by holding down Ctrl+Alt+[up,down,left,right]

I don't think gtksourceview is a official part of Gtk. It is a third part project.

Unless Mozilla want drop XP support too, I thinkg that a GTK3 Firefox is even more far than the sun from pluto now.
Or they will change to a new framework or block build with GTK3 to 3.17.0 at maximum... IF they switch to GTK3.

I bet is a bye bye and thanks for the armor from Firefox to GTK3

Firefox uses GTK only in some Unix-Like systems; and just for the widget part, the rest it's handled by XUL.

Specifically, it's used on all X11-based platforms (and in future, I guess Wayland) - not on Windows, not on MacOS.
