Part 1/2:
Inkscape‘s development version has now switched to GTK4 ✨ , the current version of the underlying UI framework.
This is a huge architectural 🏗️ improvement for Inkscape, and will enable proper graphics acceleration ⏩ in the future.
This quick transition - only about 9 months - was made possible by donations, as we’ve invested approx. $80,000 towards it.

@inkscape Congrats to the team and thank you!
@inkscape does that mean OBS will finally see all dropdown menus, too? :blobcataww:
@inkscape
Does an application UI need hardware acceleration?
Genuinely don't know. I thought it was things that rendered thousands of triangles per second that benefited?
