Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] SWT on Gtk will require Gtk 3.20+ in 2020-06

Alex, you've said that "All non EOLed Linux distributions are already at Gtk 3.24".

My colleague responsible for our RHEL platform just told me, RHEL 80. (and of course 7.4-7.x) are still on 3.22. Could you please check that?

Background: we are on RHEL 7.4 now and evalute transition to 8.0 (not 8.1, but may be). It would not make sense to jump on RHEL platform that has no chance to run latest Eclipse.
 
Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov

Hey everyone,
SWT min Gtk version is going to be bumped again this release (to require Gtk 3.20+). All non EOLed Linux distributions are already at Gtk 3.24.
We plan to bump Gtk requirement to 3.24 for September release too.
This is important step so SWT work on GTK4 can be started now and thus the needs of it being expressed to GTK devs on time so we don't end in the GTK3 situation when porting SWT to it was started only after GTK 3.0 was final thus leading to many hacks.
