History

This package and its documentation were adapted from Gtk.jl, which was written by Jameson Nash and others and supported GTK versions 2 and 3. With version 4 there were so many changes to the GTK API that it would have been messy to try to support it and previous versions in the same package. Note that much of the GLib/GObject functionality that underlies GTK is largely the same code as in Gtk.jl. Some changes were made to try to take better advantage of GObject introspection or to remove old code that was no longer necessary in recent versions of Julia.
