Workbench 47 is out! 🛠️
The highlight of this release is experimental TypeScript support by GSoC student @vixalientoots ✨
But there's more!

Introducing Casilda - A Wayland compositor widget!
A simple Wayland compositor widget for Gtk 4 which can be used to embed other processes windows in your Gtk 4 application.
It was originally created for Cambalache's workspace using wlroots, a modular library to create Wayland compositors.
Following Wayland tradition, this library is named after my hometown in Santa Fe, Argentina

Finally took the time to log into Patreon and support @sophie! I highly recommend doing the same if you'd like to see image editing in Loupe 🖼️✨
Rejoice! GNOME 47.Beta is released!

Hello, GNOME 47.beta is now available. It also marks the start of the UI, feature and API freezes (collectively known as The Freeze).GNOME Discourse
ported Identity and Video Trimmer to the new css stuff (well, ported is a strong word, there's like 10 lines of css there), so now Video Trimmer is ready for accent colors!
(yeah yeah i know that window needs a design overhaul but for now im too lazy)

This adds a simple asyncio event loop integration for GLib that only works on unix. For a comparison with other integrations, seeGitLab
@vixalientoots did it again 🎩
After adding TypeScript support; Angelo made Workbench able to use TypeScript for JavaScript diagnostics and completions

Thanks to @slomo the #gstreamer gtk4-paintable-sink just got support for video rotations. This is nice for video apps, making playback of video recorded on phones (portrait mode) more easy or faster (avoiding a copy compared to using a dedicated gst videoflip element).
The change is even better for Snapshot, the #gnome camera app: it uses the sink for its viewfinder and avoiding additional copies here has quite an impact on #mobilelinux devices.
While @suraj_sloth is working on the #UnifiedPush connector side in #Chatty I got a chance to add the code for registering/unregistering #Matrix push gateways in #libcmatrix and Chatty (with this I can readily round trip messages up to the UP distributor):

I'm quite happy how upcoming performance improvements for #gnome Snapshot and #libcamera are shaping up. This is how things are now running for me on a #librem5:

I finally published my app to Flathub!
Echo is a GUI ping utility. Give it a try, but go easy on me as it's my first real project :))
Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!
- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

Over the last months, we've completely redesigned and rewritten @dino 's accounts and settings dialogs. The dialogs are combined into a single one now, which is adaptive and offers additional features like an option for OMEMO by default. The rewrite also resolves a number of issues and feature requests that were raised with the old implementation. It's still work in progress and will require further polishing.

TypeScript progress in Workbench 👀
• Inline type checks
• Auto completion

Update on Newton, the Wayland-native accessibility project ✨

Great work @matt !
Looking forward to work with you again next year and ship this!
Thank you @sovtechfund ❤️

One more demo of GTK autocomplete in Workbench
I'm very happy so far with the experience, checkout the video.
I love that the same feature can be used to discover widgets, properties and write UI faster.
There are still many improvements to be made, but I think it's close to a first release.
You can try it yourself in Workbench nightly blog.sonny.re/workbench-news
Feedback very welcome
Credits to @flyingpimonster for making this possible!

Awesome update and progress by GNOME GSoC student @atbrat on porting Workbench demos to Vala

Made good progress this weekend on #IconBear , my upcoming open-source icon manager for Linux.
* Install pre-packaged icon sets to quickly start building your library.
* Icons are automatically categorised as "Outline", "Filled", "Duotone" or "Color" when you import them.
* Icons are loaded asynchronously, for improved performance.
Once work on importing, deleting and filtering sets is finished, I'll be looking to release the app 🙌

Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.
Thanks @andyholmes for the help!

Got very excited by @matt demo of AccessKit integration in #GTK
AccessKit is a cross-platform abstraction for accessibility infrastructure written in Rust.
His work will bring a11y support for GTK on macOS and Windows as well as for the new accessibility architecture on Linux code-named "Newton".

You can also use it for applications and the overall GNOME desktop.

This will allow to make video playback in various apps much faster. And, if everything works out, allow the same for Camera viewfinders in apps like #gnome camera / snapshot 🤞
