The update includes bug fixes related to Wayland, GIMP, and emoji CLDR 48 updates. Going forward, only important bug and crash fixes will be included, with the next GTK3 release expected in March 2027. This change reflects GTK3's mature state and the project's desire to push developers toward migrating to GTK4, which launched in December 2020. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
