New release

We are happy to announce the new release of gtkdialog-0.8.5

This release has been several years in the making since Puppy Linux took over development in 2018.

It has several new features and bugfixes which would not be possible with out the work of our volunteer developers. The following list is a short run down.

• fixes for aarch64 architecture and Mac^TM platform allowing the correct stacking of widget elements based on the original patch for arm architecture.
• improved support and bugfixes for GTK-3.0
• removal of redundant code and general cleanup
• improvements to chooser, terminal, menuitem and window widgets
• addition of wayland display server support for gtk-3
• improved handling of variables
• inline xml comments are now allowed in the code (this change is not backward compatible - see the examples for details)
• addition of the meson build system
• improved and new, where necessary, code examples and updated documentation
