An Interlude,
—
today I spent the morning at the Developer Conference: Matthias had an interesting talk on the changes that happened in GTK+ 3.x over the past year, as well as his experience in implementing the new GtkColorChooser after the design proposals. then it was multi-touch time. after a recap of …
