Thank you, Quentin, but...
Using gtkcompat requires either Geany >= 20130818 or gtk+ >= 2.24.
I'm not sure I understand your Geany version number, is it a future date, and if so why 18 Aug?
Sorry, I meant ~20130313, when gtkcompat was added.
Gtkcompat is supposed to handle compatibility for GTK back to 2.16 IIUC, If it doesn't thats a bug :). Geany's GTK minimum requirement hasn't been increased from 2.16 but it now also can be built with gtk3. The intention is to encourage plugins to do the same. We are not losing support for gtk2.
Yes, I understand that, and it provides compatibility as far as I can tell without actually using it.
Since I care more about the backwards compatibility than for gtk+3, my plans are to update insertnum when gtkcompat becomes part of geany- plugins,
I guess it isn't clearly explained, gtkcompat.h is part of Geany, not the plugins, but they can use it since its only a header file. Its in Geany's Git. It doesn't become part of geany plugins.
It's explained well enough. The plugins are not only able, but expected to use it, because it's automatically included by plugindata.h. But that assumes they are build against Geany 2013-03-11, or with a new gtk+.
The problem is, my company is certified for information securily, and getting approval for a new version of any external software is a PITA. On the other hand, anything written by the employees, like my plugins, is OK by default - we are hired to write software, after all... :)
(Of course, I'm not using the company machines to write any GPL-ed software - only to compile and use it.)
or when we increase the gtk+ requirements of Geany to gtk+ >= 2.24, or after 2 years - whichever comes first.
Not sure why you want gtk 2.24?
Because GtkComboBoxText is from 2.24 (althought it's [re]defined in gtkcompat.h for any gtk < 3.0, with an explanation why).
Anyway its your choice of course, user complaints that it doesn't work with gtk3 will be pointed to you :)
My package manager shows 2795 depending on gtk+2, and 345 packages depending on gtk+3, which was released on 2011-07-28. :)
Anyway, I was too categorical. The old hack of #defining GTK_COMPAT_H before including geanyplugin.h, and manually writing any compatibility code, will probably work fine with all Geany versions. That'll look a bit ugly, and IMHO, letting the plugins decide whether to include "gtkcompat.h" would be better...
