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.

Part 2/2:

A lot of issues remain to be found and solved, especially on macOS and Windows, so the next release (1.4) will still use GTK3.

For those who'd like to play around with the new version that will power all releases after that, join our developer chat (building Inkscape's development branch requires a very up-to-date system, though!):

@inkscape Also, goodbye subpixel font antialiasing. Goodbye readable text on sub-4K screens. ☹️

@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?
